steeda cam on stock heads

BALZY_GT · Mar 4, 2008

Can you run a Steeda #19 cam on stock heads? My 94 gt has 60,000 miles, and I'm planning on running a blower this spring. I would run the steeda cam (if possible) for the next year or two, until I can save some extra money for some AFR or TFS heads. I'm trying to save money on tuning. A tune by me is going to run at least $700, so if I could run a steeda cam with the blower and cobra intake installed, I'm thinking that i wouldn't have to get it re tuned when I install the heads in the future. Would this idea work? Would i have to install 1.6 or 1.7 rocker arms on my e7 heads?, Then I could transfer them over to the new heads when they are installed?

you can run it if you like I'm sure but the gains will be marginal with stock heads. I'd hold off until you can do the heads as well...save some coin on a retune. As for the rockers, E7 heads are pedestal mount rockers. Most aftermarket heads are stud so I would hold off their as well. You will need to get a tune for the better flowing heads. Honestly, save your money.
