Heading in right direction?

On the valve body I know someone on here builds them punisher ones my wife is probably going to drive the truck a lot is it gonna hit hard or can he control that, cause I do want one of his valve bodies but I don’t want to get yelled at by the wife cause her neck hurts lol. And only reason I asked on the headers flange is I like the one big single flange that holds all tubes together I was just thinking a set of pace setters of summit, I like the flange better, but are they quality?

don't think you'll gain much if anything with a larger throttle body on a slightly modified Gen1 engine. richard holdener a ford fanatic and well-known magazine journalist has a book about sbf dyno tests which is a good reference. may be out of print but may could get one used. his similar tests on 5.0 with larger TB seem to indicate little or no gain. you could possibly use that money better by making a true cold-air intake with a long open-element filter similar to what K&N and others offer. ask comp cams about the 1.7 rockers and batch-fire speed density in a Gen1. the last thing you want to do is wind up with some idle annoyances for the sake of a few hp in the mid range and top end. ask me how i know. previous owner of my truck installed a "borderline" sd cam that may well have excellent idle quality in a sequential sd mustang but has some idle "shudder" from time to time in a sd Gen1 batch-fire system.

Man you hit the nail on the head in my opinion.

Don't get the pace setters! and the Punisher valve body is fine when cruising if you get the street/strip one. Its when you go full tilt that is really hits the tires. Sometimes get a tiny little chirp just at medium acceleration which isn't too harsh in my opinion. My old man rides in my truck and hes cool with it but hates the ride.

Thank you I got one on the way, and by the way love your L I want mine to turn out just like yours on some weld RT-S
 
Trying to get it there, got dream beams on this past weekend now just new schakles and set drivetrain in. Quick question anyone have problems with opinion angle when doing the 3/4 lowering kit. Just want to make sure I get that right, I don’t want any drivetrain vibration.
 
Just wanted to post some progress pics.

Yes sir, thank you, header fit great on drivers side and the pass. Side wasn’t too bad just took a little patience that’s all. A lot easier than putting headers on my maverick, you wanna talk about tight frame rails, Ford did not want any long tubes in a maverick lol.
