Sorry I ment a different cam... not a not different cam (tired)

I want to change out the cam but can't find a whole lot of information about what cam works good without going mass air. Anyone have any info on this or have done it with a good results. What cam did you use and where in the RPM range did it make a difference. I kinda want that lumpy idle but not like it sounds like it wants to stall at a stoplight. I might build some heads to change since I will have the stockers off.

You'd be better off getting heads and an intake first, then having a custom cam matched to that. What you want to do is keep as much vacuum as posible, so if you dont get a custom cam find off the shelf cams with a large lobe separation like around 114 or higher.

That or you could take the easy way out and go mass air, but its realy unnessisary if you understand speed density.

I think trickflow makes a SD friendly cam. You should check out www.50tech.com as well, they are very SD savy over there.

Crane and Crower make a few options for our SD cars. But you can make plenty of power on the stock cam and use the money else where. You can add a set of roller rockers for example.

Here's a link: http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_0307_ford/

Well I added TFS heads, otherwise it was stock as a rock.

COMP Cams made the cam I am trying to find the specs, the cam is made in 2 different ceterlines, and one was made for 1.7's, one was made for 1.6's.
