Which Cam?

[bobbys9350]

Im getting ready to put my stock shortblock back together and im wondering what cam would be good to go with? im keeping stock e7s for a little bit...... would the x 303 be a good choice or a TFS stage 1? thanks guys

i would run the tfs 1 cam, b/c its a all around better cam i have ran the x cam and the tfs out of 5 people only 1 of them runs a differnt cam for a mostley stock car that cam will make u ahppy and if you are running the stock pistons you can even get away witha nice set of 1.7 roller rockers. tfs 1 cam is going to be your best choice.

keep the stock cam until you get heads, the H.O. cam is a decent piece and not the weakest link in the chain

so the TFS stage 1 is going to be a good all around cam? im am thinking about going with this one. is there any other good choices?

if u want to talk to sombody who has the tfs1 cam and 1.7 rr on his car go talk to dragnazz5.0 on here he can tell you more about it i am putting it in my 306 with aluminom heads and cobra intake and what have not.

Personally I would keep your stock cam in too. If your heads have some miles on them then you will probably have to switch out your valve springs with anything other than a stock cam.. I know a lot of people with stock heads and springs would float the valves with the E cam. The X is way to much cam for your set up, if your looking at a letter cam the E would be plenty. Remember there is a lot more to chooseing a cam than lift and duration and bigger is NOT always better. And with stock heads the stock cam is a nice match.

i agree but the tfs 1 cam is a good allaround cam if you change springs the tfs springs are a good choice allso. but for stock heads and intake the tfs cam isnt bad, its alot better then a fms cam by far.

stock heads = stock cam with 1.7 rocker is the best choice and if you still whant to change it go stage 1 no other choice

I agree! IMO, keep the stocker and get some 1.7 RR's. A bigger cam is mostly wasted with stock heads.
