Welcome to AFM. I'm with stlwagon with giving him alot of slack. Starting off with that set up there is a huge learning curve to overcome. Not exactly someting that he can just drop off at any shop for testing and repair. Hope you can get it sorted out and some play time at a local drag strip before the season is up.

Still trying to talk the wife into a supercharger. She's smart and hasn't bought off on it being a "fuel saver" yet.
Don't worry that it's not an actual Shelby. If you go to shelbyautos.com you can find out how to have it registered and serialized by Shelby as being a Shelby.

If Paul's done the tune, and really it made 675 I find it hard to believe Paul would let it leave the shop unsafe, are you sure the bottom end isnt built?
Also the ba-3000 would require a new tune, and please dump that throttle body most aftermarket aren't near quality enough not alone a GMS one.
So I need to upgrade my throttle body?
There are a lot more upgrades to this motor and transmission but I have no paper work and bought the car from someone who knows nothing. I did find the old/stock injectors in the trunk. I dont know enough right now to say what has been upgraded and whats was left stock. Hopefully I will know more this weekend.

If the throttle body ends up being the issue, you might want to go back to the OEM TB or throw on a GT500 TB or Ford Racing 62mm.
called them and didn't get any answers. They knew the car but only give me a number to SCT for a part replacement... not helpful.
P.S.I is running 40Lbs at start. after only a few minutes of idling it starts dropping. push the accelerator and the pressure drops to 20 and below almost like a fuel filter prob. Going to change it but with the new fuel lines idk were it is. I know where it should be...
Would the stock bottom end even hold up to a dyno run making 675 hp?

The filter should be by the tank. It take a special tool to remove and makes a mess when you remove it. That's even after going through the fuel line drain and pressure removal steps. I would let a shop do that. If not make sure you wear eye protection and cloths that you won't mind tossing when your done.

I almost forgot the line tool is sold at most auto part stores and is not expensive. I think around $10 give or take.

And what a car to learn on!
