Well just to begin i have a 94 mustang gt, 5.0, 5 speed!  I just dropped a new motor in.
-eagle rods
- 10.5:1 compression
-comp cam 35-518-8
-ford racing (crane) 1.7 rockers
-ford racing link bar lifters
- ford racing svo gear set
-gt40x heads
-comp cams beehive springs
-gt40 intake
-long tubes
-x pipe
- high volume oil pump
-morosso pan
-30ib injectors
-70 mm mass air w/ 65 throttle body.

I probably gave way to much info.  but the more the merrier..  Well i have to much damn valvetrain noise.  is it cause of the highlift (.601 on the exhaust)?  It pinged before due to the long tubes but it seems after i changed the cam and springs i have alot more.  due to the center of the cam changing i put longer (6.272 ford racing pushrods) pushrods to get proper lifter preload..  Is this normal to have a slight ticking?   anyone else running highlift (.570+ ) with behive springs
