Which cam's are best for me?

[jomull55]

hey guys im planning on getting the new trickflow heads and a set of their cams. the thing is im torn as to go with stage 1 or stage 2. can someone predict how each will act and what advantages/disadvantages i will see. this will be mainly a street driven car but i do plan to take it to the track. so i want to get the best track times and still have a bit of street driveability.

stage 1

stage 2
Trick Flow® Track Max® Hydraulic Roller Camshafts for Ford 4.6/5.4L 2-Valve Camshafts: TFS-51802002 - trickflow.com

hello, id go with the livernois motorsports cams stage II, i have those in my car and they work really well.

no one knows anything about cams?

 

[jomull55]

my questions must be too hard

Maybe call Trick Flow and ask them?

Is this a daily driver? How much track time is the car going to see? How comfortable of a ride do you want? What other mods do you have? Just based off of the mods on your sig, even with the new heads, I would go with the stage 1 cams.

I don't know anything about trickflow cams. if they posted cam advance or intake lobe centerline i could tell you all about em.

hmm... i guess i will just have to talk to someone at trickflow

No one is able to give an answer because these cams are very new on the market, and hardly anyone is running them in their cars yet.

Also, I beleive you will run into piston to valve contact problems with the Stage-2's with a PI head. I beleive they are designed to work with the Trick Flow heads without any clearance problems.

i believe so too, i am going with the tfs heads also. i wish trickflow would release some dyno #'s with the stage 2 cams
