[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 4135230, member: 6221"] Richard.... on the Ford rev limiter, it almost has to be making an extremely lean fuel condition when it takes fuel away from a cylinder that is still firing. Even if it totally kills fuel to that cylinder there will always be enough unburnt fuel in the cylinder for the spark to ignite. On my 347 Coupe I still retained the factory rev limiter.... if I just momentarily bumped the rev limiter while making a pass the water temp would skyrocket. The car would also run like crap (power wise) afterwards unless I disconnected the battery and let the ecm clear out. It had to have been picking up an extremely lean conditon in the cylinders I would think for the ecm to be compensating so much. On the Ed Curtis cams... I have had some experience with them, they have all run like crap on the street and streetability. They feel to me just like a Bennett cammed car I had. It was a dog on the street. It only ran good at the track where you could leave at 6k rpms and keep the rpms between 4K-6500 on the track, otherwise a stock 5.0 with just 3.73s could pull it in streetlight wars [/QUOTE]
