Pulling The 5.0 Out Of This FOX BODY MUSTANG To Make LESS POWER

What do you do when you have too much cam? Put a smaller cam in the engine of course! Josh and I are pulling the fully built 5.0 out of his Fox Body to move from the Trick Flow Track MAX to the Comp Cams Xtreme Energy. That should return some of the street driveability and help the Holley Sniper EFI adjust fueling correctly. Once it's out we tear down the engine and get ready to reassemble it.

Totalled my Yukon Denali and shattered my left leg ( now I have big metal plate in my leg ). I lost everything job, home, and broken leg. Feels like I dieing to STRUGGLE to live sometimes. But luckly in last month I'm starting to put my leg down and trying to walk again. With your motivation and all those other motivational KZfaqRS. Starting to and building my life goals again. To have a better life for my 2 kids. Thanks for the life motivation.

When I was 20 I built an ‘81 Mustang for drag racing, wasn’t this extreme but I did have a big cam in it and I ran an auto, it used to want to die leaving lights unless you just got on it, that normally resulted in the back tires lighting up lol! I ran that car at the track for a full season plus daily drove it everywhere, gutted interior and all, such a fun time! That one is long now, hit in ‘08 by a drunk while it was parked, I still have the engine though, had it in an ‘87 for a few years but now it’s slated for an ‘88 Nissan hardbody.
