You forgot to read the part were my heads HAVE NICE PORT WORK. Which is very important because they flow far better than his heads on the exhaust. You just need to read the entire post ![[Wink]](wink.gif) I set my own cam up and tuned my own car and it Idled fine with a E-Cam. Try reading my post and understanding it before you try to bust my chops. I made the statement refeering to the exact Y303 heads he is running.

fact is you need a smaller cam like mentioned and a smaller intake. Trickflow stage 1 cams are cheap if you can find a good one used. They seem to idle better also. I would love to trade you intakes but I don't think I rev mine high enough to make use of it either. good luck.

try this cam XE270HR at .050 218 224 .512 lift 114 LSA with the intake you want it will run good. Plus it has alot more aggressive lobes than either the trick flow or the Fcam. It might look the same on the surface but it isn't. Good luck BTW I have buddies with trick flow cams that have ripped along pretty good. Your other question on the carb number yes it is legal in CA. smog techs never check carb numbers on cams. I always give them the E-cam carb number if they ask lol.

What you need to do is simple: Contact Ford Motorsports and ask them what they recommend. Your primary go fast part will remain Ford (heads) so the best thing to do is to talk to the guys who built that part and see what success they've had with various cam and intake combos. They will give you excellent advice since it's their product you're using.
Quick example: During one of my previous builds, a few years back, I just couldn't seem to nail down the perfect cam. So, I contacted my top three choices; Ford, Anderson FM, and TrickFlow. They all replied to my questions, even complimented one anothers products, while outlining the drawbacks/advantages of using each one of their cams instead of someone elses. In the end, and a dozen e-mails later, Trickflow suited MY combo best and ended up getting me into the high 12's with off the shelf parts and no fine tuning whatsoever... I hadn't even upgraded my fuel or electronics yet!
Bottom line: The TrickFlow cam complimented MY parts best and made my little pony a sweet runner. Do a little legwork on the front end and enjoy a much better performing combination on the back end. I have done this on every build since and I've enjoyed outstanding results.
My .02 for the day ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
sup nick? long time no see!what u been up too, and do u still have the fox?
Chris, whattup bro. I have been gone for a while, I know. I am out here in Okinawa, you know, doing my Marine Corps thing. I left the 88 back in the States at my folks house so I haven't been able to play with it for about a year now. However, I left that beast in prime condition and it was running HARD. I never got it up to Sac before I left but after getting it tuned/dialed in, it was putting down a little over 340rwhp/355rwtq in that little 302. I ran a 12.8 before I ripped it apart again and it was probably making close to 300 at the wheels back then. With the suspension I have, I am looking for 12 flat... mid/high 11's on juice.
I saw the numbers your stang put down. Damn impressive. That ride was sick when you took me for a ride waaaay back when so I can't wait to see that thing again someday. When are you going to get some track time in that beast?

TFS stuff is proven. assuming your springs will hold ide go tfs1 cam and Track heat.....
its will have plenty of tq down low with 3.73's....and will pull strong to 6500.

No, but it's always good to check.
As a side note: If you have to degree a cam simply for clearance, you are changing its characteristics and moving the powerband in a way NOT designed for the cam. An off the shelf cam is designed (most often) to be installed straight up. Unless you have the supporting hardware, degreeing it will hurt you, rather than help you. Custom cams, on the other hand, can often be designed for various installation positions; oftentimes working best when retarded or advanced (cam specific).
Do your homework and you won't be dissapointed.
But we all like that magical answer of "that cam will work best" don't we

You know the more I read this I say put that thing on the dyno. I bet you are seeing valve float/coil bind.
What condition are the springs on your heads?

If his springs didn't float or bind already they would be fine with most the cams suggested. The stock y303 heads have springs for up to .540 lift. Hopefully he changed them for the ones recomended for his cam. If you want to get your car running fast then get the cam from John B. almost anything is better than what you have going on now. If you trade your intake for the steet heat intake you will have a nice combo going then. good luck.

No they are different. The B would be closer to the X with 1.7's but still with less lift than the X with 1.6's
