I have gt40 heads and I am getting a small lite cam?

you should try and find the steeda #19 or a tfs stage 1. the steeda #18 might work they should give you the least amount of trouble with the idle. there is a letter cam but in not sure wich it is that is also ok. i believe it all depends how much money you want to spend on roller rockers. gt40s i think are pedestal mount so any brand should work.

 

[TheNatster513]

i want a decent cam. nothin to where i need extra stuff but one that will do me really good with my set up

[wannaboost94gt]

No those are crap, get ford racing, scorpion, comp cams, crane cams or something like that

 

[94califiveoh]

[TheNatster513]

Why are they crap? They break?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

Yep inferior material made in china bro! :angry7:

 

[TheNatster513]

Oh. Thanks for the heads up!!!

 

[TheNatster513]

Alright I have been looking at the e303 cam.. And I don't think that's gunna do it for me. Lookig for sonethin a little heavier?? Any suggestions?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

you could go way bigger if you had a chip otherwise look into the steeda 19 or trickflow stage one.

 

[TheNatster513]

Oh im deff getting a chip from a guy tuned.

 

[TheNatster513]

Those are good if you have stud mount style rocker setup, if not you need to get pedastal mount. The cam looks good though, make sure its not worn.

 

[TheNatster513]

the cam says its still brand new in the box.

i have no idea what kinda rockers i have... what comes stock?? will i need lifters?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

Pedestal mount rockers are stock get those, idk about the lifters?

 

[TheNatster513]

are the rockers i have a link to above pedestal?? i cant see anything that goes either way??

 

[MustangMoser]

no those are stud mount. pedistals will have bolts that come with them, not nuts. if you're going with 1.7 rr you're effectivly making the e-cam a bigger lift cam, because you are changing ratios. you have got to be careful of piston to valve clearance as well. and remember, you get what you pay for.

 

[TheNatster513]

So I need to watch the cam for clearance? What's the worst cam I can get for a decent price and no piston change or extra parts.

The local cam I put up earlier.. Sold yesterday

stage one tfs is good thats what i have but i rather a steeda #19. if you can afford get comp cam pro magnum roller rockers or scorpion.
