will it be ok to put a tfs1 cam on my car with stock heads and a typhoon intake, pulleys,exhaust,shift kit and cai?
mackey said:No it wouldn't be good. The typhoon/tfs s1 are made for upper rpms, and that is where the E7s struggle. Since you do not have gears either, it will probably feel like a big loss of power down low.

if i was to do this first will it be safe to put the cam after with the stock intake?You could pick up some explorer heads, and run that cam and intake.bobbyd said:thankx for the info. i might just go ahead and get some e7s ported with springs

I would have to ask my engine builder what size he used, but I want to say they were the stock length and he didn't have to shim them. I think they may have even been Ford Racing pushrods.
