Problem is, if for some reason you get sent to a referee, buying new cats for all your smogging occasions can get pricey.<br /><br />I would check out comp's ford stroker cams.<br /><br />but you have to have a pretty healthy induction and compression ratio to take advantage of those cams. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mikeceli</b> <br /><small>Member # 8389</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(2008,4,13,23,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> As far as cam is concerned, I am looking for low range torque, 1200 to wherever the AOD upshifts in D or OD. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <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(2008,4,14,0,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Go custom if You are going to do it all <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> .
