need help making power with this ford conversion, it's a 1999 super duty with a 12v, ported head, twins hx35 and ht3b, 6.0 intercooler, 838--160hp pump, 100 plate, new lift pump, fuel pressure stays above 20-22 psi even under load, it seems to reach a full 2700 rpm, but when I road test it it has little power and will only reach 55mph top speed. I could use a few suggestions. thanks.

Does it smoke at all? To me the injectors may be a little small for all that air.

city slicker

smokes only at first throttle tip in. yeah im sure their small im just getting it going and their what had but it doesnt make 30% the power of a stock 1st gen. Ive checked linkage travel.pulled the shut off solenoid out and im probably going to recheck my timing , it should be at 15*.

Sounds like a nice truck. Can you also post some pictures? And what trans are you running?

city slicker

I am using a 47rh with the dodge pcm and harness. it sounds great and runs good right off idle but then runs out of fuel fast. I'll try to get some pictures later today, my wife kids and I have to work cows today. thanks for the reply.

what does it free rev up to? maybe the gov springs are way tight?

city slicker

I dont know for sure. I haven't got the ford tach working yet but compared to my two dodges it sound like it goes to full fuel with no load.

city slicker

well I checked the timing and it seems to be right. I'm at a loss.

I pulled the afc, took er' for a spin and stuck my foot to the floor and got a fair amount of smoke and some power. I dont have my boost and pyro in yet so i dont have boost numbers and idont have the right harmonic balancer for the tach signal so no overdrive and tc which with 4.10 gear tops at 60 mph but, its getting narrowed down pictures are coming.

Well I found a bad restriction in the tank so, I'll test drive it tomarrow and see. thanks for the help.
