I posted this as a reply to the excellent response to my original append and have not heard a word since.?

What do you think about the air scoop idea?
Is there a neat and easy way to get some cool air into this thing.
I also saw a post about flat top pistons.
I have a set of TRW 11.5:1 +.060 for a 460??
IF I machined off the domes. Make these Flat top pistons I perhaps could get to the 9.5:1 compression or so. I
would like to run cheap gas if possible.
I also need clarified several appends on camshaft timing.
We run the mudracer cam 2 degrees advanced from Straight up with a crower 311HDP cam.
If I understand all the posts about this ford has retarded the cam 4 degrees which lowers the cylinder pressure at
low RPM.
The question is using an aftermarket cam and a degree wheel I should be able to advance 2-4 degrees with no
issues BUT IF I retain the stock CAM straight up is the as far as I can go.
I will be back online Wednesday(2 days off Wahoo)

P.S.
I have a turbo available and have been toying with putiing it on this truck.3-5 LBS of boost and perhaps
water/methanol injection to control detonation?
How does the 1988 EFI react to being Turboed.
Great forum with some excellent info

 

Stock Cams go Straight up. I thought I could advance my stock cam 4 degrees, and it won't work well. Mosty aftermarket cams have an advance built into them, so check the manufacturer, most will say to NOT advance them past straight up.
