That stroker bottom end is a nice setup. Costly, but nice. With the boost and the new bottom end you should be dipping into the 10’s? ---

accotding to the chiltons manual when i did the heads on my stang it said to torque the rockers to 35 ft lbs. i did this exactly as it said and mine runs great. oh and i got a 93 block/heads that was converted to carb. in mine as far as the ticking goes this might sound stupid but did you check for a header gasket/collector leak? mine was making a ticking noise on the same side as yours and thats all mine was maybe you could get as lucky as me lol any ways talk to you later chad. oh by the way tell john morasco to call me everytime i call i get his voice mail. ---

Not that it isn’t the right torque spec, but he has aftermarket rockers. I’m guessing the stock ones don’t have the locks on the nut? ---
