I am now going to be switching to AFR185s with an X303 cam in my 10.5 to 1 347.
So I figured I would let people try to guess my numbers before I make it to the track in about a month. [Big Grin]
Cam will be instaled by 93Cobra, and he will also be helping coatch me with the rest of my motor. Thanks a million man for all your help. [worship] [dance]
Here is the total combo
347 10.5 to 1
X303
AFR185 1.6 rockers
RPM intake 75mm TB 76mm C&L
1 3/4 longtubes
3 inch exhuast dumped at muffler
Art Car AOD MVB 3000 converter
3.73 gears and 26 10.5 ET streets
3500lbs with driver
These topics are so fun.... [Wink]

Why not run a split duration cam from someone like comp cams. You'll see a bunch more power than with the X cam. Ford cams are not all that great for a modified motor. Something with a 232/242 duration for this set up. Just food for thought

since when is the X303 a smog cam LOL. you could probably pass with your custom and 4 good cats If they were good ones and you don't keep them on there two long(they will melt)
Besides that I bet your 347 rips I would guess 350 plus also. Plus meaning anywere up to very high 300's

X303 instaled correctly in a 347 will pass smog.

If car goes 11.5 or better then I will not change anything, but if its in the low 12s to high 11s I will.
I also have a single fogger NX kit in the car. I would like to run a 10.99 on the bottle, so the car needs to run 11.5 or better on the motor.

I saw a car just like this with about the same mods run into the 11's. It was a fox body 5-speed 342 ci stroker X cam afr 185's...light weight. Good rear suspension bite and some DOT drag radials. If your auto is tuned well you should be able to make it into the 11's no sweat.

Also if you worried about running a different cam because of smog I wouldn't. Once they open your hood and see those long tubes it'll fail for sure unless you get lucky and you know the smog guy.

i agree. u will have much better numbers with the split cam. it helps play for the difference in sizes of the valves. its the way to go! [patriot]

Don I meant the X303 cam is not a street legal cam in the first place no EO number. A custom cam should pass just as well with all the smog stuff. The correct way meaning in the engine [Wink]

Custom's don't carry EO #'s either. No custom does.
But grind it right & it'll pass the sniffer. As will the X, B, &F which also don't carry an EO #.

Dah LOL that has been my entire point why bother wondering if a x cam will pass smog when it is illegal in the first place. If you are going run a illegal cam start out with the one you want. The cats will hopefully burn everything up.

Theres plenty of split duration cams available without needing a custom grind. Some of them are even carb legal. With the X-cam you are holding the intake and exhaust valves open the same amount of time...!? Sure the X cam can put up some good numbers but why sell yourself short and not get better numbers. It's all in understanding the way the common windsor works. I think people tend to use combinations that they've seen on everyone elses cars. It's the guys that actually gain the understanding of how and what a motor needs that are out there constantly winning races.

This particular AFR combo will run best with a single pattern camshaft...if not a slightly reverse-split pattern.

The X is the best bang-for-the-buck smogable cam you can get. At $100, it sure does beat a smogable custom at $325 that'll make a mear 10-15RW more.

If you're gonna go custom make SURE the combo is done before buying the cam. A custom for an RPM intake will not be the same as one for a Victor intake. The same is true if the exhaust is also being changed.

If you can gain an extra 10-15rwhp from spending an extra $225 that sounds like a GREAT deal to me. I don't know of many other mods you can do for $225 that will add that much HP. [Razz]
