What cam for Explorer Topend?

Blown95Cobra · Jan 5, 2007

I'm going to get a set of GT40 heads and an Explorer intake manifold with TB. What cam should I run? I'm thinking about using a TFS Stg 1. The car is pretty stock, 4.10's, 5spd, longtubes, and 2.5" catless exhaust. I also have a set of 24# injectors with a 76mm C&L MAF that will go on with the H/C/I.

Thanks,
Frankie

The stage 1 is a good of the shelf cam. I run one in my 93. Originally it had a GT40 intake and P heads. Swapped the intake for a TFS track heat. Was pretty happy with both combos with the stage 1 cam.

crane 2031 has some pretty good midrange and topend power but no lopey idle. since you got 4.10's id look at something in the mid range since you got the sotp torque with the gears. just my 2 cents

my bro went with the tf1 one cam, I went with the HO cam. Really the HO cam isn't bad at all even with gt40/p heads and intake.

Adjustable timing gear and a stock cam degreed... Our GT40P combo runs very well with this set up!

Are you talking about the stock 87-93 cam?

I'm doing all of the work myself and I dont know how to degree a cam. I'm not even sure what degreeing means lol. Is adjusting the cam timing to work where I want it to degreeing? If so, how do you figure out how far to move it?

I'm doing my H/C/I right now , using pretty much an explorer set up . Ported gt-40p's with Cobra intake . I installed an E-cam because I wanted to stay brand specific on all my parts . I'll let ya know how she runs very soon!

You get the adjustable timing gear and it allows you to retard or advance the cam. Ours is retarded 4 degrees, and moved the powerband up!

The E-cam with the explorer set is a decent runnign set-up. Put one in a an Explorer motor I did for a guys 90GT. The e-cam should of been the stock cam for the 93 Cobra's IMO. Works well with with the GT-40 heads and Cobra/Explorer intake.

But I would run the TFS stage 1 personally. That is a really nice OFS cam. Sounds killer and performs real good. This cam is liek the old Lunati 51014 & Wolverine 1087 of the day..

+1 for the e-cam. i ran on the bottle for the first time the other night. im sure i could knock a few more tenths off that 12.7

id pick something else other than an e cam, they were good, but cam tech has come such a long way.

cammotion.com 130 bucks or so for a fully custom cam to your specs, needs etc etc cant go wrong that way

My setup is a set of worked 93 cobra heads, explorer manifold, and the tfs 1 cam. I love it, it still has good power down low but just pulls harder and harder up top. very streetable with a great lope to it. I havent had it dynoed yet but I ran dead even with a coupe that put down 287 to the wheels, and my car is a decent bit heavier.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll go with the TFS1 just because a lil more lift never hurt anyone
