Ok so I am trying to decide on a cam for my engine. Here is what I have:
Stock 302, Ported GT40 Heads, Long Tubes, Full MSD Ignition, BBK 70mm TB/EGR, CAI, Either Performer or GT40 Intake.
I was thinking aboyt a Compucam 2031. I do not planning on running a power adder just yet. Maybe a small NOS shot...maybe. LMK.

I really like my Trick Flow Stage 1, E303 might be good for your setup

the trick flow is a tick bigger but will have a hard time passing smog.If smog isnt a issue go for the trick flow.I just know i made great power and still got good mileage it sounded great and had awsome manners and great snap.Imo better then any letter cam.And again i ran mine on a 1.6 rocker not a 1.7 like the cam is ground for.

Why do you think the TFS1 makes more power? From what ive seen the E makes more power but the TFS has better torque. On a street car Id take the power-HP, over torque, you dont want to be dead hooking a car youre driving to work the next day.

Since I had already had the E Cam I guess I am going to try the TFS1. So now the big question is....Anyone got one for $ale???
