Cam

Hey guys it's been a while since i've post anything. But i wanted to ask you guys which
cam would work better with a Blown application. The Steeda #19, TFS Stage 1, or
any other suggestions will be appreciated.

whats the rest of your setup? Heads and Intake done?

If your stock, then just leave the stock cam in there. If you have heads and intake, the TFS 1 and the Steeda 19 cam will work fine with a blower. Depending on the cylinder head, make srue you have the proper piston to valve clearances as well.

Any cam that pushes more on the exhaust side will be better.

also dont you have to get a set valve springs to the right lbs of force for the cam????

anderson has some good cams...not that i'm biased or anything.

ed curtis cam is the way to go though.

Depends on what cylinder heads you are running and what springs come with them...most springs that come with these heads will handle cams like the TFS 1 and Steeda 19 without any issue.

I'm going with the AFR 165 heads and GT40 lower intake

Steeda #19 was designed as a boost cam but depending how long you want to look or how much you want to spend you could do better, but it would get the job done.

AFR 165's come with .600" valve springs.

my vote goes to steeda #19. I was too lazy to look around. For street car any of those cam is fine.

BUT my vote goes to crower 15511 cam. which is not on the voting list. I had this cam on 91 and man...I miss it. I should have taken the thing out before i sold it

But crower cam is expensive. but i am also too lazy to get custom grind cam. I like off the shelf stuff. ha
