Ive been wanting to put it in for a while now, and was wondering what all has to be done once its in. Im all old school carb motor technology so i have no idea what to do as far as tuning. im sure the computer would need to be tuned to go along with the cam right? its part number 51025LUN. the specs are: Advertised Duration IN/EX: 284/290 Duration @.050 IN/EX: 224/232 Gross Valve Lift IN/EX: .535"/.544" Lobe Sep Angle / Intake Ctr Line: 112/108 Valve Lash IN/EX: Hyd/Hyd RPM Range: 2200-6200 any help would be GREATLY appriciated as i am new to this and looking to learn as much as possible before attempting to do it, but really would like to try this out. also is that cam too much for my motor? its mosty a stock motor. it has a 70mm tb, bbk headers, h pipe, flowmasters, msd wires, blaster ss coil, holly regulator and some other little odds and ends bolt ons. anyone who can help in anyway please do so! Thanks. -Lance

If you really must have a different cam don't go any bigger than the Ford E303 cam. __________________ Racing in memory of Dave Bandt 11/19/69 - 3/23/08 "he's traded his wheels for wings" Professor of Natural Aspiration Thanks to: Artie at Trick Flow, Dave at Team Z Motorsports, Brian at Total Engine Airflow and Harold at Furo Racecraft
