Personally, I think that TFS stage 1 cam is a good choice in cams. I have no problems with mine and I like it.

with the gt40 heads it is a preaty good match up for the price...maybe a tad on the big side but good numbers as to what the heads like. After the research I did before buying mine (tfs1 cam as well) I was happy with it.

with the box stock gt40 heads, tfs1 cam, ported stock gt lower (tmoss), pullies, 14*, and 3.73's I ran a 13.5 or 13.6 @ 102 with a bad 2.2-2.3 60ft.

i ran that cam for a while on my 302 and i liked it. It makes good power and it has decent drivabilty on our car. I have talk to other tfs1 cam owners and they have good feedback. Just take the time and degree the cam properly.

Another plug for the TFS1 cam. Mine surged for the first 500 miles or so, but now will idle fine, and only bucks under 14-1500 rpm.
