Well my birthday is coming up in two weeks and I am going to get a cam, but I don’t know which one to get? Any recommendations.
1. Has to be smogable.
2. Going to go into a 331 with performer heads and intake.
3. It’s a street driven car
4. The sound of the cam does not matter. Don’t really care to be able to hear it.
thank you, cesar

The Trick Flow stage 1 is a good cam. It is smog legal and will make good low/midrange power w/ that motor

All under 200 bucks except for the custom cam. The TFS cam is ~139 and the X is ~189. Pick a cam with your goals in mind. This is one of the trickiest parts of a build ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Good Luck

TFS Stage one will be too small...go with a custom or XE274HR. That would be a good cam for you.

i keep on hearing about XE274HR
Does the XE274HR or X303 pass smog?

When I first put the 331 together it had a Lunati cam in there with specs that were pretty clost to a TFS stage 1 and a TFS street heat intake.
After putting in the xe274hr and a track heat intake which flows about the same as your performer intake, the car gained 44rwhp and dropped my et by about 7/10ths. That was also with swapping from a catted x to an o/r x.
Hope that helps with your decision ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) .

I guess you made my decision for me. But smog is really a big deal to me and need to know before I buy it if you have passed smog with it yet. Thanks a lot that was the type of info I was looking for.

The best way to know if it is going to pass smog is to get a cam that has a CARB EO number like the E cam or the Stage 1.
However, some cams w/o EO numbers may still pass smog. The best thing to do in this case is to call the cam manufacturer and make sure. If you get a cam that does not pass smog it will be a lot harder to correct than bolting on your smog equipment.
The bottom line is you will be trading performance in order to be emissions legal.

i have the trick flow stage one in my 306 and i love it. you also have to watch out for your piston to valve clearance, especially with the ford x cam. my friend put the x cam in his 302 and bent all of his valves. so with the tfs stage one, has good power and sounds great at idle.
