I have a Trick Flow Stage 1 and GT-40 Turbo Swirl heads, I love the setup. It lopes really hard for just a stage one, you can really feel when it kicks in around 2500-3000rpm. I just need bigger rear tires, because it often starts spinning them when it does kick in. I just don't know if it will pass smog.

Trick Flow stage 1. Smog legal, good idle, good low-mid power.

The custom cam I have was made for GT 40's on a 302. I have the cam card in hand as well.

I have an F-303 cam on gt-40 aluminums (not sure which model specifically) and it pulls hard.

TFS 1 FTW!

Is that trickflow cam better than the E303? How well does it work with computer controlled cars as the E cam can be a real bitch to get to idle good.

A TFS stage 1 will embarass a E303 anyday, especially in a blown application. Back when I first picked my Cobra up, I was running 13psi, a TFS stage 1, and a ported Edelbrock 5.0 intake and RPM heads. Combo turned 468 rwhp, 11.0's in the quarter...and I LEGALLY passed smog no sweat.

damn that was sick!!

so whith those heads u cant use stock valves??

Posted by streakmatt (Member # 6257) on :
 
Thanks bro. No you can't use the stock valves. The heads are set-up for the 2.02 only. You wouldn't want to run the puny stock valves anyways, they'll hurt airflow costing you HP.

ahhh..... i c

i know bout cars but i guess that was one thing i didnt know....

what about with the afr 165's??? can u just throw them on??
 

---

Posted by streakmatt (Member # 6257) on :
 
Well you can put the 185's on without problems if you are running the stock cam. But if you do have a cam, yes the AFR 165 are an excellent head that will work with the stock bottom end without any mods. If you are looking for heads to get i would suggest the 165's or the trick flow twisted wedge.

ya i have an E303 cam, so if i dont wanna change hella shit, get the 165's and they will bolt right on?
 

---

Posted by streakmatt (Member # 6257) on :
 
Yep the 165's will go right on with no mods required.

Why the hell does everyone like the Ford cams?!?!?

i can shit out a better cam. Call Comp, Crane, or Crower. They will tell you what is best for your combo. None of this one cam fits all bullsh*t.
