Time to get started on my car.Last year started out ok,swapped out the cam for a TF stage 1,but then my wife decided that she wanted a divorce,so that f d up things for the rest of the season.Did H/I the year before.Had to put the stang in hiding(put car in my dad's name).Anyhow to the tech part,never did sort everything out after the swap.installed the cam dot to dot,but now am bummed out cause i lost a **** load of my bottom end.Any body else have that problem with the TF 1?.Gonna pull the motor out to detail the engine compartment n figured i'd advance the cam 2 degrees to try n get some bottom end back.Should i change the RR to 1.6?Anyone running that cam with !.7s,advanced 2 degrees?Any clearance problems?
