94bossgt · October 19th, 2011, 12:53 PM

tryin to figure out what kind of cam i should use i have a 306 balance and lightened crank stock ported and decked heads, triple valve springs 0 decked block 1.6 harland sharp roller rockers, parker funnel web intake, 750 holley fuel pump looking for an input or advice on what kind of cam to run

Got flow numbers for the heads? Without them it's gonna be tough to get the cam close. Also what exhaust are you using?

You should run the almighty e-cam

94bossgt · October 19th, 2011, 05:00 PM

Full length headers 1 3/4 primaries 3 in collector custom x pipe spintech mufflers turnouts and not sure on the flow of the heads and nick I need a cam that works good not one forged by the hammer of Thor lol

That's a whole lot of intake for stock heads.

94bossgt · October 19th, 2011, 06:32 PM

They aren't stock bigger valves triple springs ported and decked

69fastback · October 19th, 2011, 06:36 PM

I'm trying to knock it, but I've never seen any stock heads off these cars that flow anywhere near enough to need that intake, no matter how much they're ported. These heads just don't have much potential.

Fastback I know what you're saying but the guy that ported these heads knows what he's doing if I remember right this was one of his factory stock motors

Bubba95SN · October 19th, 2011, 07:44 PM

Too much intake not enough head. IMO. Get flow then choose cam.

I think what he is saying is, even the best ported e7 heads(thumper E7s as far as I know) won't flow enough for that intake.

94bossgt · October 19th, 2011, 08:31 PM

These are not e7 heads but just to let the guy who ported has a motor with ported e7 running 10s na

You said they were stock heads which are E7's. So what heads do you have?

And the running 10's can be believeable if he is running a foxbody that is totally gutted and has a good intake,cam, exhaust and all the other matching components. Heck a gutted fox can run 12's with a stock engine, 4.30 gears and a 28in tall slick with a good driver.

You afraid of intake or something ? And like John said they aren't e7 heads theyre 70's 302 heads

fogged306 · October 19th, 2011, 08:57 PM

If he runs the F.A.S.T class, then those heads are miles from stock. If they're the real deal, that funnel web is probably fine. Without flow numbers though, it's still just a guessing game as to the cam to run.

Nowhere did he say these heads were from a 70's 302 he said stock heads, which in this section of the forum means E7s that is why we were going off of the known abilities of the E7 heads.

Really doesn't matter what sbf heads they were. If they're Windsor heads, they're a garbage starting point. The GT-40 stuff was the best Windsor head and that's not saying much.
