How much of a power gain can i expect from a swap from a stock cam to a B303 cam w/ new TFS valve springs.
also is there any diffrence if i went with 1.7 RRS
Mods installed now are:
pulleys
headers
X-pipe
flows
SPEC 2
Ram Air
3.55 gears
ALSO what is the lift on the stock cam?

you will probably pick up 5-10 rwhp from the cam and rockers.i think the stock cam is a .444 lift .

the cam swap is almost worthless for you
with stock heads and especially a stock intake
i would say do the intake first
if u really want to do something, do the roller rockers, cam, and an intake
the stock intake is just way to small for an extra hp

I'll sell you my ported stock intake really cheap if you want it, I'd guess in the areas of 20 rwhp, but if you really want to keep the stock intake you'll need some serious extrude Hone action which my manifold does not have ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

no big time porting, just cleaned up a bit and it runs great with my current E-cam set up. I got hold of an Ed Curtis Ported Cobra Intake Manifold so that is goign on within the next two weeks and I'll take the other one off. I'm very flexible on the price, make me an offer

hey hey, its my old intake
if u are a real pro with a dremel then here is my suggestion
get the intake from droptopfox if the price is ok to u, do ur majic on it as much as possible as far into as u can reach, if u can weld; cut the end of it off and port in there too
take the heads off and dremel them as well, especial on the exhaust side, go to www.fordmuscle.com for a good e7 headporting article
talk with 93pony about cam selection for the car, what he says might surprise you
also look into a 65mm tb and a bigger mas air, u can get a 73mm cnl for $75 off of corral
