which cam????

[ant0045]

Im going to be putting an explorer intake mani on my car and a cam also. My question is which cam. Im not planning on putting in anything big. Its a daily driver and im keeping the mods fairly simple. All bolt ons minus heads. I was thinking ecam or tfs1. anyone have any opinons or other suggestions.

steeda 19 it was easily tunable and before the tune the drivability wasnt "THAT" bad....

I seen write up in MM&FF about that cam a few years back, they had great success with it.

Any aftermarket cam and stock E7 heads, you will most likely lose performance.

Believe it or not, the stock cam is not the worst thing in the world.

why would i loose preformance? also how bad is driveability before its tuned?

 

[Steven]

the heads cant make use of the extra lift. Therefore creating problems with loosing low end. You'd normally see large high end gains a head and cam swap, but when you just do a cam, the heads can't keep up, and die out after higher rpm's. So basically you loose the ass end of the car below 3k rpms and it will mess up at the top end

Oh God please don't be one of those people that want to install the cam so you get that sound. :nonono: Put the money towards something that will make your car faster! Unless you are getting the intake for a STEAL I would spend the money on a better intake. A Performer or bigger IMO. Then save up for some heads.

would it be better if you stayed with the stock cam, and put 1.7 rockers on it?

that and degree it. Theres a guy on stangnet running high 12's on a car with worked e7's, degreed stock cam w/ cobra 1.7's, ported stock intake, explorer tb, 95 gt maf, 5 speed w/4.10s on ET streets. He was cutting 12.7s.

what was his MPH and 60'? Can't help but think a lot of his time was coming from his 4.10s.

to be honest i couldn't tell you anymore. It was atleast over a year ago, and I haven't spoken to him since. I think his name was 25thmustang over there, i could be wrong though.

i wouldnt not put the cam in for the sound that would be dumb. im worried about performance. Im getting the explorer upper and lower for 125. If im not gunna get the performance out of a cam bc of stock heads than im not gunna change the cam and im not planning on porting the heads or anything bc if i have to pull the heads off im going to put something else back on. Is it worth putting the 1.7 on and which ones would everyone seuggest getting

 

[Steven]

proforms are affordable. Ford racings are good, the best I've had alot of experience with would be gold series race rockers from crane. I have a set on the drag car, things are sweet as hell

 

[Steven]

I'll be picking up a set of these in a little while

patriot heads/x303/arp headstuds/crane cam push rods/1.7 roller rockers. and throw a gt40 upper and lower intake a 65mm throttle body cold air intake and a 100 shot. easily low low 12s possible 11's (VERY high 11's)
