Hi all. Me and a buddy are working on a project car together and I'd like to pick your guys' brains.
Car is a 94 mustang gt, T5, with cia and 3.73's. Ran a best of 14.3 in the quarter before we started the tear down.
Already picked up some used pieces as this is a budget build. Trickflow Street Heat intake (upper and lower), high flow elbow, 75mm throttle body, and an SCT chip with Bama tune (got this new and they will update a tune for it once the build is done).
We were looking for good deals on used heads before we picked up a cam. Came across a set of Holly Systemax Aluminum Heads for a great price.
Specs on Heads:
Holly Systemax Heads, Casting #12113B, 34R, #12156, holly part number part #300-574
2.02 / 1.60 Valves
170cc Intake
71cc Exhaust
63cc Combustion Chambers
Pedestal Mount Rocker Mounts
Race Ported
Bought them from an old guy that said they had been "Race Ported" by an old school Circle track legend (don't recall the name) but didn't have any additional information of the port work. They came with new springs and Comp 1.6 Roller Rockers and only have about 500miles on everything.
So now were looking for a cam. The car is a daily driver but want to maximize 1/4 times for this set up. Dyno #'s don't matter, just want a cam that will pull hard into the upper RPM, and maximizes this head setup, without loosing a ton of bottom end (but understand some will be lost). Goal would be to get it down to low 13's and also be able to roll race here or there but it's primarily a dig car.
Would also like to not have to flycut the pistons if at all possible to save money on buying the fly cutting tools.
Looking at the TFS Stage 2 cam or the XE-274HR. The cam we are willing to buy new as they are only about $70 more than the alphabet cams.
Are these good cam's for the setup? Would they require fly cutting? I know the heads are a little big so is there a specific cam that would work better for the increased valve size and runner volume?
We will be measuring for PTV and measuring for Push Rod length once everything gets put together. And we'll need to go to a 24# injector correct? It's got a brand new stock fuel pump, will that work or does it HAVE to be upgraded? Will also be putting a new timing chain, oil pump, head gaskets ect. to complete the build.
Any advice is appreciated, Thank you for your help!!
