I just ordered a 347 stroker, the pistons are made for the twisted wedge heads that i got. I have the E303 cam, but i was wanting something bigger, little more aggresive. this is what i have so far gt40 u/l intake, track heat heads w/ 1.6 rr, 24lb injectors w/70 mm maf, 65 mm t-body and spacer, CAI, long tube headers, custom made x pipe, slp loudmouth mufflers, 3.73 gears, t-56 trans, u/l control arms, and now a 347 stroker kit on its way. should be at my house next week. i have to find a good cam for this set up, thanx

Click to expand...

here is all the info from www.trickflow.com
part #= TFS-51402001

Characteristics= Fair idle, good midrange power. 2,500-3,000 rpm stall converter or five-speed recommended. Compression: 9.5:1 minimum

duration @ .050 224/232

valve lift with 1.6 rockers= .542/.563

LSA= 112

you will need springs that will hold that lift

Bigger cam and intake. The GT40 will hurt you.

Custom or AFM cam. TFS seems to do well, havent seen a ton of info on it in a 347 yet.

i heard good things about the f303 cam from ford, it is just a little bigger than the stage 1 from trick flow, think that will work with my set up

F303 is too small for a stroker.

my compression on the stroker kit will be like a 9.2:1, i want it low but not to low, next year getting a hellion turbo kit, will the trick flow stage 2 cam work with that compression

since u plan to turbo the car i would go with a custom cam but as for now just buy one bigger then the f303 and sell it when u turbo it. PM Rick (rick 91gt)he could prolly tell u a lil more about it.
