Its the typical is this cam ok for my setup thread!
but seriously, a lot of people are looking for the biggest cam yadayada yada...
I just dont want to over cam my motor. I just bought a set of gt40p heads and sent them off the Russ Folpe, previously worked at Ford perf. solutions in anahiem, ca., for a good pocket port and street/strip port polish, upgraded springs and valve job. I also have some crane 1.7's, Explorer intake, Longtubes, O/R H-pipe, A/C delete, Smog delete, 24lb injectors and Adj fuel press reg, 255 fuel pump,pulleys, 65mm t-body,76mm mass air,NOS Dry kit with a 125 shot being the most favorite! and a 5 speed with 3:73 gears.
Its literally a daily driver and has over 200k miles on it. I run on motor 90 percent of the time, so a nitrous cam isnt a priority. Money is though , cant afford a custom cam yet. when this one goes kabooom, then i will get a really good cam. As for now, is this gonna be beneficial? Maybe not THE BEST, but good? Also how should I install it? staright up, advanced 2-4 degrees or what? Any kind of input is greatly appreciated, i am trying to install all this by the middle of next week. Sick of driving around on clapped out e7 heads due to a bent valve! Gonna swap H/C all at once.

So if i advance it it brings the rpm range in at a lower rpm then? Does that take away top end? All and all i cant see me shifting this set up any higher then 5700rpm anyways so that would put me at a good rpm range to advance it 4 dergrees it sounds. Also one more question, i am putting a .41 head gasket on this set-up, anybody with the b-cam have a thinner gasket or milled heads? I was thinking that the pushrods will need replaced, i a plan on checking it. Just wanted to see what size pushrods or maybe have a part number. Thanks all for the helpful replies!
