Suggesting gt40 irons or P's instead of the set of heads he's considering is pointless. They all fall into the same catergory as the ones he's looking at. And dumping money in P's is also sensless from a financial standpoint.
Beast if you want these, get them, not my cup of tea but that's me. But don't consider not getting them to get any iron gt40 head.
And i'm not buying that a stock explorer motor with a cam made 290rwhp.

after curt (12seclx) ran that 12.13 at 110.6 mph, i would go to the junk yard and pull a mountaineer motor ... stick a mustang cam in there ... then go to craig and dyno tune it ... 292 rwhp and 332 rwtq is sick for that combo ...

Our explorer type motor made 288/325 with stock injectors, out Flowmasters and in a 3000 lb 3.55 geared fox ran 12.17 @ 110...

Same motor with some 24 lbers, in a better chassis with 4.30s went 7.481 @ 90 in the 1/8th (11.70 @ 113 or so in the 1/4) shifting 4th about 100 feet out of the 1/8th trap.

GT40P motors will run HARD!

Alright listen up ryan. Stop posting in my threads if all you want to do is bring up the same old **** and repeat what other ppl said. I got my car fixed professionally b/c it was paid for by HIS insurance. I wasn't gonna worth risking MY NICE ASS CAR(not some old heap I found rusting) to shoddy body work done by a noob, aka me. It was paid for... why the hell not. I do all of my own mechanical work... EVERYTHING. I swapped the clutch, did gears, rebuilt the rear end, intake manifold, on top of the fact that I have rebuilt 3 351w's for friends cars. If you never post a reply to any of my stuff again it will be too soon.

So please leave it alone so I can get the advice I need, not some 15 yr olds opinion from what he has read on the web.

hmm...do we need to revert back to the first page??? your the one who started the whole thing with primer over the rust!... click page 1 scroll up...and read what you posted...and no im not talking about when you got backed into..im talking about when the car was first painted.

do you fell better about yourself knowing that you slapped a intake on your stang?, threw and new clutch in your car?..out off all the things you have done the only thing i have never tried is gears...and why because i don't have the toll needed...

take it to PM's if you like from this point on.

yup when it was first painted it was in a wreck and my insurance covered a bunch of it. You don't know anything about me or my car. Just GTFO of my thread.

Actually I feel much better never talking to you again. When you are ready to race, run what ya brung style at any track I'll be there in a nice car ready to smoke your ass. But until then I prefer just to click on your name and press the Ignore User button so I never have to deal with your lame ass advice, your BS track times, or your burnouts in front of your house ever again...

Just go with the combo, it will run good. I'm not sure how the f cam is in n/a combos, but it is a nasty boost cam. You might be better off with the tfs 1 for a mild all motor combo. I know you will be running nitrous, but you won't be using it all the time, and I would be more worried about the car making good power off the bottle than the tiny bit it would gain with a different cam on the bottle.

I like the TFS1 too. From my local forums I was suggested this cam http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CCA-35-312-8&autoview=sku

It seems to fit the bill kind of. A little high on the lift, but it will pull all the way to 6k better than the TFS would. I have to decide by friday, its when I am picking it up along with the heads. Then I guess I'll start the swap over Christmas break.

Hopefully it will be a strong combo. Also in the distant future it would be a good turbo cam.

thats a pretty nasty cam there, I would go with the f cam, it has already proven its self with boost, and would be tamer in traffic then that unit, and most of your driving will be in traffic, and driveability is an issue up in atl lol but it should run out pretty strong!!

For a street car stick with a milder cam. I have a TFS1 and it has decent street manners. It lopes pretty good too. I've been the stock ported heads route and I wouldn't do it again. IMO you'd be better off starting with a nice set of trick flows.

Here is what mine sounds like.

Yeah I wish I had the money for trickflows but for now this should be a strong combo. I am buying a lunati 51014, everyone on SCF seems to believe that will be an awesome cam for my combo. If not I can sell it and buy a TFS1, I'm sure there won't be any problems though.

BTW the magnaflows sound SICK!!!

The reason I would use the trickflow over the lunati is a money thing. They are very similar cams but the trickflow costs half as much. For the price of the lunati you would be much better off getting a custom cam imo.
