Heads and a Cam Combo

[my89stangGT]

I thought about buying Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads. My question is should I go with a E303 cam or should I get one of the Trick Flow cams to match the heads and if so which one should I get, so I don't have to flycut the pistons. Also where is the cheapest place to get Trick Flow Heads.

the stage 1 is very similar to the e303 except it has a little more help on the exhaust side. I have twisted wedge heads and i ordered a stage 1 with 1.72 rockers today, go with the stage 1!

When you got the Trick Flow Heads did it come with speci. on which cams you can use without flycutting your pistons. On their web site they say cams speci are listed, but they don't listed them on their site

"the stage 1 is very similar to the e303"

NO IT ISN'T two totally different cams in many aspects!

Get the TFS-1 cam it performs well with TW heads. Many people are running it on stock short blocks without having to flycut pistons, you should check but I can't imagine you'll have a problem.

Is the part # for the TFS Stage 1 TFS-51402000?

I run an F-303 with the TFS TW .. the clearance valves/pistons is over .100 on both exhaust and intake valve.

You should always check your v/p clearance when installing a new cam.

I have the TW heads with the E-cam and it works great. No problems with PV clearance. The lope of the E is nice!! I made 300RWHP with a cobra intake. Either way you can't go wrong, but the TFS cam will give better drivability. It takes a while for the computer to learn the E-cam, with it's 110 LCA and all.

the trick flow heads are not as user friendly as AFR nor do they make the horsepower AFR's make the 165's are the best combo with the e 303! do your homework trickflow is a good head but AFR is better and less of a headache to match up to all of your stock motor applications, clearences etc!

good luck!

Where is the best place to get the AFR 165cc Heads. A place call JC permforance has them for 1287.00 with free shipping. Is there a cheaper place to get them or is that the best place.

D&D Motorsports has the Trick Flow Heads for $949. The AFR 165's are marginally better at best, you cant go wrong with either head. I run the e303 with 1.7's (.529 lift) no problems.
