So after installing gt40 heads off 94/95 cobra and explore manifold the car feels like it's holding back in power timing is set at 12 I did notice the TFI module position is diff then my friends mustang that's timed the same at 12
idk if that matters
Car is a 1990 mustang 5 speed
Stock air box
Stock injectors
Stock headers
Parts list of the car
Gt40 heads(stock roller rockers)
E303(idk if it was degreed)
Explorer manifold
65mm throttle body
X pipe no cats
Double roller timing chain
New plugs
New wires
It feels really slow any info would be greatly appreciated

I have the same set up but I have a cold air and long tubes and mine doesn't feel slow maybe you need more air flow to help them

I would check compression, makes sure the gaskets are ok
Maybe throw some more timing at it and see how it responds? (just watch for ANY detonation)

The 3.55's will help considerably. How's your exhaust system? Cats clogged? What kind of mufflers?
When I first bought mine all stock except glasspack mufflers, it was kind of a lazy dog! I changed out the glasspacks for flowmasters and it ran much better. Then adding on the 3.55's and it really woke up. Changing to 1-5/8" headers will help as well.

What spark plugs are you running? Are they gapped to .52?

2.73/3.08 gears and e-cam is a great combo for a slug
