I am looking at using an 80mm Pro M. Pro M suggested using a 75mm tb whereas Ford Racing said 65 mm. What are your experiences/suggestions as to which tb to run?

I know others have stayed with the stock cam, no idle issues and about the same power so not sure if the hassel is worth it. Car is fully tuned by Byron so the tuning should not be the issue. my 2 cents. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>hidnn.o.s.</b> <br /><small>Member # 1219</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,0,18,15,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would suggest staying away from the motorsport cams. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TrickRacer50</b> <br /><small>Member # 6345</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,0,18,17,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Not to pull you completely away from your question, but I wonder if any of the Comp Xtreme Energy (XE) cams would work well.<br /><br />They have high vacuum which works well with computer cars and is why they pass smog.<br /><br />I have an XE cam in my 331 and it passed CA smog with flying colors a couple months ago.<br /><br />Just a thought. <br /><br />Also, yaa it seems there is a lot of people talking about running 75mm TB on basically stock motors. Not sure about that one, but it seems it would hurt low end torque.<br /><br />You could call Comp tech help and see what they say.

You will need a tune to get it to idle. The computer ('94-95's are sensitive to this, as they are load-based, and load is calculated by airflow) is expecting a certain amount of airflow at idle, and these things change that value, which throws off the calculations. I personally don't see a big deal with a 75mm on a N/A car, but others do.<br />Mines boosted, so I guess my opinion doesn't count for N/A cars...<br />Anyway, I have a Crane 2031, but if I did it again, I'd go custom....<br />Dennis <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SmokinLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1684</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,0,23,13,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If You are going to stay with the combo for a while why not just spend a couple hundred more and get the custom cam to begin with? <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
