i want some opinions on a cam

[swammi]

i am putting a engine together its a 91 f1se block 30 over probe crank, eagle h beam rods and speed pro forged pistons 9.53 to 1 with 64 cc heads and i am running a set of aluminum pro comp 190 cc with 60 cc combustion chambers heads with all comp valvetrain and comp pro magnum 1.6 roller rockers and havent made my mind up on a cam any suggestions

[QWKSNKE]

What rpm do you want your power band in? What gears do you have in the rear? Is this an auto car or a stick? What intake?

[swammi]

looking for 2500 to 6500 3.27 gears and c4trans with 2600 convertor dont know if i will carb or inject yet

[QWKSNKE]

3.27 gears? Are you planning to have a poweradder? Any good cam that revs to 6500 will be an absolute dog with 3.27's
I would also be concerned that I would burn up the c4 with that kind of stall and 3.27's

[coupe]

I'd go with at least a 3.73 gear.

The cam will at least need to be 230º duration (maybe more) to honestly pull to 6500.

[swammi]

will probally go to 3.73s

[coupe]

Your engine and heads are perfect for what you want. For an EFI intake, I would go Holley systemax or a breadbox upper/GT40 lower. For carb'd intake, I would run a Vic Jr. (or equivalent) with no port work other than match to heads. For a cam, I would get a custom grind piece. I recommend Ed Curtis for that, but he's behind right now after getting over 20-inches of snow... I'm waiting for a cam/lifters from him for a Caddy CTS-V.

Some of the shelf cams would work as well from Comp; you'd just have to check their catalog. If you have access to a Ford Racing X-303 cam, that would probably work too...and they're usually cheap.

Swammi I have a already put together 8.8 with 3.73 gears in it I would make you a deal on. Its 4 lug with c-clip eliminators and southside lowers on it.

[QWKSNKE]

Also look at the cams that Anderson Ford offers. I think something of the N-61 nature or a little larger would work well.

I concur...AFM has some really well-tested grinds that work very well (and sound awesome too).

Whatever the case, you need to check Piston-to-Valve clearance with everything mocked up before running. :nice:

[swammi]

thanks guys. i can get a xcam . from a buddy ! again thanks!

[waypastcrazy]

Not enough convertor imho

[EHardy1971]

Not enough convertor imho
:agree: I'd go with about a 3200-3400 stall at least. I'm running a 2400, and it's not enough for mine, and it's a relatively mild combo.

[H8IMPORTS]

I had an 88 coupe with a 306, Edelbrock Performer heads and Intake, F303 cam, 24# injectors, 76 C&L, 3.27 gears and it ran 7.70's all motor on 8.5 Et Drags. Went 6.80's with a 175 shot. Car still got 23 mpg. lol I have always been fond of the F303. Never raced it at the track but I have a F303 in my wifes 95 GT as well.

I have a DSS 308 I'm fixing to put in my 92 coupe and it has a X303 and I plan to pull the X303 out and put a F303 in. Good luck with what you choose. Don't really think you can go wrong with a F303, Anderson, Trick Flow or something custom.

I agree with this. Missed the second page. LMAO! O well. Yea I would run a 3200+ convertor.

Also my 88 coupe was a 5 speed and I launched it at 5500-6000. It cut 1.60 sixtys N/A. LoL

i too am in question of what nitrous cam... 357w, debating on ripping it apart and stroking it to a 408... perfer solid roller cam, but hydro will be ok... around 3000-7000 rpm... Input?

[kraker790]

BTW, heres the link to the F-303 cam new at summit racing... $195 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6250-F303/

The E cam is a decent nitrous cam, as is the F cam if you're wanting to go with a letter cam. Anderson Ford Motorsports is the way to go on a new cam though.

Shop around on the classifieds on here and the corral instead of buying a new one. You can find good used letter cams all day for somewhere in the $100 range. Joecoupe found a B cam over on streetcarforums for me when I was looking for one. It had les than 1k milkes on it and cost me a whopping $75 shipped.

We have been looking at AFM to do Kerry's build with. They definately have some nice stuff... especially for fuel injection. When I was in question I looked at their customer rides and did a quick search on youtube before we wanted to order his cam and stuff from them. They have pretty good results and the guys I talked to seemed to know what he was talking about.:)

[kraker790]

yea, 9seccobra on here uses alot of parts from him... and his cars quick, hince the name... lol...
