Put 1.94 valves in also. Looking at trick flow stage one cam and the f cam. Has anyone ran this combo on a 302. piston to valve clearance an issues? Or which length push rod will you need. Smog not an issue

piston to valve clearance should be fine if you're using stock pistions, stock pushrods should work fine as well. roller rockers or rocker arms? might need pedestal shims, no more then one or two tho

Okay so I have 1.7 roller rockers from comp cams
I checked the specs of both cams. Trickflow stage 1
With 1.7 is what ill most likely run. When you say -4 degree
Are you referring to when I'm setting my ingition time or
Engine timing (crankshaft to camshaft) just makin sure.

engine timing,,,,assuming you get a double roller adjustable chain, where you can set it adavanced, "straight up" or retarded a few degrees. these settings will "move " the torque curve either higher or lower in the rpms. I personally have my TFS stage 1 cam advanced 4 degrees, I knew the sn was heavier then other mustangs so I wanted the torque off the line. make sure you match the valve springs to your cam+1.7rr specs

I found out about that after (the 4 degrees ground into it) so now it supposed to have 8* of advance. and no I didn't degree the cam, which was a mistake , but I just assumed they sent me the right cam that I ordered and it would be all good. and to be honest I have no real complaints, I kinda wished that I had set it straight up though, since theres already 4* gound into it. my best et has been 14.3 at 99.8 mph on street tires and front sway bar removed , I wonder sometimes if this set up could be faster with the cam timing set differently , what do you think Turbo Dan??
OP, Im running GT40P heads btw, similar to yours, with stock valves.
