I finally did it! Ordered up a custom grind from CompCams.
Just a simple single pattern 218/218 113LSA .537 lift w/1.7's, but it should really wake my little motor up!

Hopefully it'll be here by the end of January. [Eek!] Comp is out of Ford hydrolic-roller cores.

Can't wait to pop that puppy in!

Sweet. Are you going to dyno it afterwards to see how much RWHP you gained or just look for a MPH gain at the track?

This new cam will increase the airflow through the motor + increase cylinder pressure dramatically. Hell yes I'm gonna get it dynoed & have the chip re-burned!

Totally different setup....
But, let me know your mods & I can find a nice cam that'll work well.

Smog isnt as much of a concern [Wink] But we might throw some AFR's on there too...Probably keep the stock intake...

But a stock intake for a 94 Cobra is a Cobra intake which would work quite well with a cleaned up lower. [Wink] You wouldn't want to go to the Performer RPM unless you have 3.90 gears or higher and rev past the factory rev limiter.

The stock Cobra intake will work quite well w/a ported lower. The performer RPM will also work well if you plan on shifting above 6K.

I'd wait on the cam for now & get a custom grind once you finish everything else. (heads, exhaust, gears, etc)

If you really want a decent cam look for a used E or B....better yet a small XE series cam. I wouldn't waste my money on a new one though. A used one you can sell later on for whatever you buy it for.

I know of an E for sale if you're interested. & can install & degree the cam cheap. From the stock Cobra cam (T-bird) to the E, you can expect ~30HP.

Save the cam and dyno tune money and adress the real restriction... those GT40 heads on a 331 stroker bottem end [Wink]

Will you change the clutch out and get an accurate track MPH/ET with the stock cam?

Sawson....ah..you haven't changed. Buy me a Dart block & I'll slap on some AFR 165's w/2.02 valves & a Ported Performer intake.

These heads are good for 500RWHP. Isn't that enough?

The stage 3 clutch is sitting in the livingroom. I'm in the process of polishing the car again...gonna be a few days/weeks till I can get to dropping the trany.

Alen, met me at the dyno-tune appointment & I'll give you a ride.

My final goal is 500RWHP w/all the smog equipment & stock heads/intake. The cam will get me close, then I'll slap on an electric fan & maybe some underdrive pulleys.

Won't be for a while. Comp says they may not have Ford cores till January.

Should be an easy swap, don't even need to take off the lower intake. [Razz]

Yeah, call me a old fashion 5.O traditionalist time proven TFS+centrifical boost junky. We use to hang out on corral.net before Incon, AFR and custom cam addicts ran us out [Big Grin]

70 RWHP is a lot to gain from a cam to hit the 500 rwhp mark, but no doubt some Trick flow TW's will get you that number for $1000 [Wink] Of course Ed Curtis would never talk to you again, but your ranking on www.californiafords.com/fastest.htm would conderably shoot up [Wink]

I don't know if my dyno graph is on the net anywere, but the power dropped off so fast that by just retarding the stock cam 6-7 degrees from were it is now will give me 35-40RWHP!
Power stays constant from 4800-5200, then drops like a rock. At 4800 torque is 470RW. Retarding the cam 6 degrees would pull the powerband 5-700rpm higher.
The custom that I made also has some unique valve-timing to keep the exhaust valve from opening in the powerstroke.
I guess we'll see what happens on the dyno. [Wink]

You do know Ed C. runs TW's in his car right? [Big Grin]
