I would call summit. Are you using the stock rockers and and the stock pushrods. What kind of rear end is in the car. What is the specs on the stock motor. Or you can get an E303 cam for it.

No i have the cran cams rollor rocker 1.7. Stock pushrods. I have the stock 8.8 out of a 91 lx 5.0. I will not like to just get the cam i will like to buy all the kit. I just cant go wrong if i buy the whole kit cause everything will work together.

Why would you want to put a non-roller cam in?



Stock lifters and pushrods should be fine. Toss a TFS stage 1 in, but the trick flow valve spring kit in and call it a day

Yeah well you think that the lifters and the pushrods will handel the lift of the cam?
But the only reason why i will like to buy the kit is because everything will work perfect but if you have done it well maybe i will to.
Thanks a lot for the help

The TFS1 cam and spring kit is what I have on my DD, the TFS1 cam is a good match for GT40(P) heads. Since you have 1.7 rockers you might want to check your PTV clearance.

Keep the roller cam.. TFS or the FMS E or B cam will love the engine!! You WILL need s spring kit.. no matter what you run... cool??
