Did you ever get it on a dyno and how is it around town?

unfortunately I never got it on the dyno NA but it's street manners are pretty good. its a mild cam so it doesn't make things too crazy.

are you really building a car/motor around the rockers?

will adding 1.7's to stock h/c make any noticeable difference?

i would like to reuse the rockers for sure to cut costs im already looking at about a 3k rebuild with supporting exhaust and intake mods with a tune then another 600 in suspension so im trying not to break the 4k barrier i have right now..
As far as i know the 1.7 rockers help give you a little more lift over the 1.6

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEM-MHP174-000/ this for the bottom end but without the pistons and getting the ford racing oil pump instead
tfs1 w/ trick flow TW 170 heads
Mac LT w/ off road H pipe going into my mac catback
02 extenders
motor mounts
underdrives
smog delete
PP street dampener
70mm bbk TB
ported lower by tmoss
aluminum driveshaft
cobra 1/2 inch spacer
American muscle sct4 bank with mail tune
Was told by trick flow the 1.7 shouldnt be a issue with this combo
the tune goes like this Closest shop to me is 4 hour drive. My truck gas there and back plus trailer alone will be about 200-250 bucks. Next summer when i choose to keep this setup or go with something more like a 347 (hence not boring it out) Ill drive it and take a few days off to get it tuned.
I know i might be missing something idk if i will need to get new pushrods im thinking i dont have to or lifters only hope when i tear down they will look good.
All plus new x2 ball joints urp bump steer and koni strut spring package.

i wouldnt get the new ball joints unless you absolutely needed them...i had my old cobra lowered 2" on OEM ball joints and it was just a hair out of spec...nothing that really worried me...depending on how low you go id invest in some caster/camber plates instead of the ball joints, and i havent heard very good things about the x2 ball joints, i think onyx can back me up on that one

sorry should post what i have already and forgot to say comp double roller chain
so what i got already is
sportlines
upr caster camber/ rear upper adjustable control arms
king cobra clutch with pressure plate/ford racing flywheel
steeda quad with fenderwell adjustable and new cable
mac cat back with custom h pipe
bbk fender intake
bosch spark and 02 sensors
accel coil with taylor cap and rotor connected to ford racing wires
built rear with carbon clutch packs and ford racing 373
steeda tri ax shifter
Rebuild kit for t5 that will be installing same time as i do this engine
I tried going from the back to the front first with the rear and since my car will be going to the body shop and engine has a valve cove leak might as well do it now since i have the available shop space at the college to do it and this is my last semester anyways.
