this was asked about a week ago and there were quite a few replies. When mentioning custom cams, Ed Curtis at FTI www.flowtechinduction.com is always popular. Buddy Rawls is another custom cam guy...there are others. I have no personal experience with either, just what i've read here on stangnet. I'd search for that thread though...

350 is high, I just spend 1300.00 on AFR heads. I was just looking for a better cam than the E303, Its a daily driver and I don't want a to radical cam and I dont' want to flycut my pistons. I'm trying to get the most power that I can.

The thing is, you tell EC what you have and what you're trying to accomplish. He designs a cam spacifically for your application. As a matter of fact I have a guy who was running a e cam and bought a EC cam and ran 12.40's. The cam is basically brand new, less then 3000 miles. He is going with a totally new set up and is selling it. PM me and I'll give you his number. He want's I believe $250 for it.

EDC is good, Buddy Rawls is good also.. both have lots of good experiance with Fords. Buddy can get 435 HP from stock 125 CC heads. But ANY cam grinder will make a custom cam to your specs... Crower, Comp Cams, Crane... to name a Few and they are all around the 320-350 range!! Have fun..

Just me..........................

TFS-1 will work good with your parts and is a fraction of a custom.

I got my custom cam from Ed Curtis. After talking w/ him and doing many searches about him, I think the 325 he charged me is a bargain.
