this is what im running now:

stock bottom end, e7s, rockers, cam, & fuel system
edelbrock performer u/l intake, bbk cold air, c&l 73mm maf, bbk 70mm tb and spacer,
bbk equal lengths, o/r h-pipe, spintechs
deleted a/c, smog pump,
electric fan, u/d pullies

this is what i plan to add this spring:

rebuilding block hot tanked and magnafluxed, standard bore, 302ci, fresh hone, keith black hyper pistons about 9.8/10-1 comp. with a 64cc chamber,
tfs1 cam, 1.7 rr, afr 165 or 185 heads straight out of box no machine work, edelbrock rpm2 intake port matched to heads, 24 or 30# injectors w/ matching mass air, fpr, 255lph pump

i will be getting the car tuned after also need suggestions on good shops that dont charge an arm and a leg

Also trying to keep the motor smog legal so i can just slap on my stock h-pipe and smog pump every 2 years

any estimates, suggestions,etc?
are afr185s too much?
are 24# inj. too little fuel?

lmk if more info is needed
thanks cafords

injectors fine. 185's if you can do it then do it. power the usual anywhere from 300 to 330. I would go with a different cam.

what would be a better cam for that combo?
 
Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :
 
spend the extra 50 bucks and get a custom or look up a comp cams. your already spending all this money might as well get a good cam.

JohnB! I need your opinion on this one

I would go with the 185s and probably a more suitable comp or custom cam with 30#s. Your lookin an easy 300-325 or 330. I would honestly save your money on a tune. Timing and fuel pressure are going to be pretty basic to set. You won't see much game with chip and tune. That combo is really gonna rock though
