Okay, stock block .030 overbore, new eagle rods, forged K.B. pistons, Trick Flow #1 Cam (221/225 dur. @.050,.499/.510 lift), AFR 165's,I already had a Typhoon intake (I port matched to heads),73mm C&L meter, 24# injectors 42psi, 65mm TB, 1 3/4 longtubes w/3 chamber F.M. cat-back.

I want the car to be streetable so I went with a smaller cam, I like the split lift/dur. cams for a ford and I've heard they work well with nitrous which I plan to use at the strip 100-125 shot.

Does this seem like a good combo? (I tried to do my homework on it before I bought the stuff)
How much FWHP should I be making?
I'm afraid to lean it out anymore, but does the fuel press. look about right? The plugs look good not rich.

Very true. It seems to be the spot where most people start if they want an off the shelf cam.

I have one in my 93 and I think it is a pretty good cam. Of course custom is the best way to go but costs more. I would say good bang for the buck as far as cams go.

I have a TFS stage 1, its a good cam, but its worth the extra $150 to go custom, regardless of how basic your setup is.

OTS cams are for OTS drivers lol.
