I am currently rebuilding my stock block 88 GT. Need different camshaft, I was running the trick flow stage one which I liked but found way tamer than I thought. I dont want nothing radical but for the lift and dur. the TF #1 was again very docile.

My basic combo is stock block and crank, eagle rods, forged pistons (roughly 10:1), AFR 165 heads, performer intake, 24#'rs, c&l 73mm maf, long tubes..... is that about all that matters??

Dyno'd 300hp 330ftlbs before i got selfish with the gas

Thank you guys for any input

Oh yeah I guess it's also important I mention it's a T5 (still) w/3.73 rear.
I'm considering the TFS #2 cam as I like the way the #1 ran just needs more..haha

I always recommend a custom hyd roller over an off the shelf brand. Contact someone like Ed Curtis at FlowTechInductions.com. A custom grind costs only a little more (about 50$). They tend to produce the most power and offer better driveability. They will match your cam to the entire package. Best option IMHO

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

X2 for a custom cam. You can also try Bullet Racing Cams and Cam Motion Custom Cams. I am currently using a Bullet core that my buddy speced out. I've also ran cam motion and comp custom grinds in the past with great results.

x 1000 on the custom cam. Ed @TFi or Buddy Rawls will make you a cam that is tailored to your exact specs. The extra $50 is well worth the better driveability and hp.

Thanks guys I guess custom grind it is!! I have heard of Ed Curtis I suppose in magazines. So you guys are saying $50 extra? So roughly $300 I'm guessing?
