I am going tobe getting a trick flow track max cam soon. anyone out there running it now or in the past that could help out with a few questions would be a big help. did you have any piston to valve clearance trouble? if so how did you resolve it? my car is a 90 mustang with a 5 speed. Summit has it listed as non computer compatible but, I thought as long as you have 112 lobe sep or more it was good to go. this car will be driven to the track. you guys have much drivability problems with it? thanks for any and all help

that's just the tfs stage 2 cam, i don't have one, but you should be able to run that with a computer. again i don't have one but i'm fairly certain you'll have some ptc issues without properly notched pistons.

I have stock heads that, after a head gasket blew, i had a shop put in new springs, retaiers, valve job with stem seals and milled .030 .just got the heads back yesterday. I will also be installing an explorer gt 40 intake with the 19 lb explorer injectors. the car had the B303 cam when i bought it. after talking to a few other guys about the cam, i think im going to go with the F303. ford said the RPM range on that cam is 3000 to 6500. I know it will idle ruff. Still kind of wondering how it will drive in the lower rpm range. at least with the F303 piston to valve clearance should be ok.

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.......
