If your building something like a 331 Stroker Motor, why dont you go with a Custom Grind Cam to maximize all the power you can out of it? Why a Ford Alphabet Cam?

350 to the wheels is definately doable. I have a 331 Stroker with the E cam, Cobra Intake and AFR 185 heads. I know I am losing HP with the cam, but I wanted it emissions legal, didn't want the hastle. I had it dyno'd on a Mustang dyno at 310 to the wheels with the clutch slipping at 4600rpm. Another car dyno'd with the same set up put out 330 to the tires on a mustang dyno. 330 to the tires with ac, No power adder, and passing emissions is good in my book.

Oh and I drive it everyday!

thanks for the info, i choose a f cam, because i wanted to stay street with out problems. i was willing to give up a few hp, to gain drivabilitie. i have had a few combo with high hp. while fun when i am blowing someone doors off, its much to be desire when cruising around.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
