    what cams can i get?

    just curious, what are your current specs on the comp cams cam? might be just as aggressive as any of fords 303 series grinds as is. should check to see what cam specs are first before dumping the cam and regretting it in the long run. besides comp cams extreme energy grinds will be far more...

    Take a look at my setup, anything else I should do?

    my thoughts too, intake is designed for serious RPM's and those mild cams are gonna hurt power production, dec issue of popular hot rodding they had a intake shootout on a 347 and it showed by the dyno sheets listed the victor jr. was out of its element below 6000 rpm and the new air gap series...

    AOD to 5spd...still have AOD computer...will it effect cam choices?

    i was just suggesting a chip upgrade to get even more power out of the computer by altering fuel and ignition curves over the very very conservative factory curves! and giveing it a much more aggressive tune! think about it.........fomoco never intended it to be aggresive, thats why people...
