If you are going to put a huge cam in it , make sure you put a good stall converter in it to get the RPMs up quicker so you can actually get work out of the cam

or put a 5 speed on it

akaslick15 · Nov 28, 2010

sounds good thanks guys by the way what kind of stall converter would i get ?

TCI makes a good one but its expensive part# 433800 is $849.95 from summit

Whats up with the rest of the build? Compression? Intake? A big cam and heads wont do much without either... If I'm not mistaken you canuse stock pistons, youll have piston to valve clearance issues, trust me I ran into them with a fcam. X cam is nasty tho sounds great, runs great if you have the supporting mods done

cant use* sorrylol. i agree with the other guys tho man, cant beat a custom grind, they can be expensive tho, i mean do you want performance or a sluggish ass motor till you hit 4500 rpms, by time you feel that big cam your motor will toss a rod! sorry man i just hate to see your next post saying you bent valves in your heads and cracked pistons.

lucky u..i prefer to have an auto...nothing shifts as fast as an auto..

I disagree with that statement but ok. And AFR isnt just the only ones to go with. Trick Flow is also another option. Are you looking for a specific number for RWHP or a track time??

akaslick15 · Dec 10, 2010

i would say track time but dont get me wrong im going to be driving the damn thing on the streets most of time

honestly if you throw a huge cam and heads on an otherwise stock 302, it won't perform as well as a lesser cam.. That doesn't mean
you won't get a cam with some "Lope" to it, but to have a fun to drive car that you won't be cussing at because it doesn't run worth a
crap (especially with the finicky 94/95 computers), something like the TrickFlow stg 1, Ford Racing E or F might be more your suiting..
And you won't have to worry about smacking a valve with a piston like you might with some of the really large lift cams.
Plus, if you throw some longtubes with dumps on your car with a mild cam, it'll still sound mean as hell.
This F cam sounds pretty mean, and they still have tailpipes on the car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrFam6zcfg&feature=related

You need to set a budget for everything and basically add an extra grand. They you can account for all the little tid bits and any setbacks that may happen.

akaslick15 · Dec 11, 2010

my exhaust system is flowmaster 40's dumped thats just my style and im doing long tube headers also i guess your rite paul by the way great video that thing sounds tough ..thanks for all your help guys!!

2slo95fiveoh question where can i find the trickflow heads on the net and f-cam i couldnt find them on the net anywhere if you can help me out buddy

ivan12 · Dec 11, 2010

Go to summit.com they'll have them there since they own trickflow. Probably one of the cheapest places. If you're going with trick flow it be a good idea to go with their stage 1 cam, both seem to work very well together. Now if you have a bigger budget you could get the whole H/C/I combo for around $2,600 which includes everything H/C/I plus gaskets, bolts, timing chain, pushrods, roller rockers, valve covers etc. That combo plus a tune should get you "close" to 300 rwhP
