To cam..or not to cam?

[Razor357]

As I thumb thru your 94-95 forum I find many mods of simple bolt-ons, and some great hi-po parts, however I don't see many cam upgrades? Can I cam my 94 GT, and if so, what's required for the GT to run correctly? I've been exploring the ideal of an engine management system like Tweecer, PMS or something of the sort, but I'm still in the researching phase. I'll list my small mods, and what I'd like to add. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it!

I've added:
AODE refresh w/shift kit & 2400-2800 stall
equal length-bbk headers
bbk off-road h-pipe
flowmaster exhaust system (full w/tips, no dumps)
march-under-drive pulleys
shorter belt - a/c delete
3.73 rear gear

I'd like to add:[/U]
AFR 185's
Typhoon intake
bigger throttle body ??? size?
bigger injectors ??? size?
mass-air meter ??? size?
Cam - ford "X" cam or equivelent?
EMS like tweecer or PMS

Great forum!

you dont want to add a bigger cam until you have the other parts to support it, ie. heads and intake that way the bigger cam can take advantage of the increased airflow. If you cam a stock motor, you are looking at minimal power gains, and major drivability problems, especially with an AOD.
