he is probably correct. Check the recomended springs for the 270 cam then check the rating on the trickflow springs. They make two kits a TW kit and a trackheat kit.

the max lift on my kit is .550
the lift on the comp is .512 im assuming with 1.6 rockers i have 1.7's but im thinkin should be around .537 or .542 or somethin.
he said the springs will hold fine wit the tfs1 but not with the comp. i dont see why if the specs are similar ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

The difference is in the lobe profile. The comp cams lobes have more aggresive ramp rates. Which need better springs.

get the 270 and the springs and call it a day. this is still going to be prety expensive to do. I run the same springs with my XE274HR they are nice. I do not remember them being that cheap.

o.k. I'm just going to post 1 last time, The cam is the heart of the engine, when you build any engine you should pick the cam designed to do what you want. Then build the engine( heads, headers, compression, intake, converter, gears ect. ect. ect.) around the cam. Not the other way, don't limit your self on cam due to valve springs, or intake, or heads, I think you're doing the right thing by holding off until you can get the right springs, otherwise you will just be disappointed and have to spend the money twice doing it right the second time.

if you tune your car is even betert you can have 2 settings 1 for motor and 1 for nitrous that way it also runs hard on motor. you need to upgrade your fuel 30pound inj 255 fuel pump atleast. some people thik that they can slap in the nitrous and ready to spray but thats when they blow their motor because when you increase horse power you need more fuel spcialy power aders. with the rigth fuel and timing your engine will last for ever event on the juice.

he was talking earlier about a 50 shot, let's say he goes 100 shot, still shouldn't require anything like 30 lb injectors and a 225, you shouldn't need bigger injectors on a wet kit due to the extra fuel being added through the plate not the injectors,

my brother had a stock long block bolts ons and a 125 shot with kit and lean out with 24 pount inj and 255 pump. He blew the motor these are facts dont forget 94 and 95 cobras come with gt40 heads and cobra intake and he also has a e cam plus it never hurts to have too much fuel becuse when they tune your car they ajust your air fuel ratiol. I rather run rich that blow my motor.

your brother had a wet kit? There is no reason a good wet kit needs bigger injectors.
