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

what if i ported the heck of of the stock intake?

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]

How extensively is it ported?how much $?not sure cause im a savage with a dremel tool and can port really well but if its cheap enough it could save me some time.

Thanks

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 [patriot]

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

hey hey hey, im not looking to go that far.i have an extra intake i can work my magic on along with stock heads im working my magic on as we speak.not sure if i want to do all that.
i just want to know what a cam swap and ported intake would net me in HP.
Thanks guys
