I was told that I would have problems running the 1.7s with the e303 cam. Is this true? Horse power question. What type of numbers could I expect with cobra intake, 1.7s, e303, iron gt-40s, bbk shorties and o/r h pipe? I know all cars are different just looking for a ball park. Also could I plug in an a9l computer into my 94.

E303 cam sucks, well for our cars at least (94-95)

Go for it. My bro runs gt40p, 1.7's and the E cam and it sounds awesome. It also makes great power. Don't beleive the hype. It works and it works fine. He's running the a9l computer though.

yeah, you might have a problem with the stock computer. You may want to get a chip, tweecer, eec tuner or the like and you'll be fine after that anyways. You'll be close on piston/valve tolerances, but i think you're ok because of the gt40's.

If you want to get the ecam which i recommend. Its a good suggestion to get at tuner, and I just happen to know someone that is selling one (see sig)

i would say to make sure u degree the cam in....there is a reason some people love and some people hate them. The grind accuracy of them is terrible due to the POS cores they use.

I say take the extra time to degree it in so that if something goes wrong, you know that you eliminated one of the possible problems.
