347 setup

[jruppert]

I have a '94 GT and in the spring I will be installing a 347 from Coast Performance. I have a couple questions regarding how this will run with the parts I will install with it. As of now, my 5.0 has an E-303 cam, GT-40 P heads (which have been extensively ported and polished), edelbrock performer upper and lower, 70 mm t-body, 24lb injectors, 77mm Pro M mass. When I go to put this engine in, I will still use the GT-40 P heads because I dont have the $$ for AFR's. I plan on using a different cam though. I have been told that the Anderson cam (cant remember which one it was) would be good. I wanted to go the XE282HR cam from compucam. Anyone know what would be a good cam to go with? I want to get a cam that doesnt cause the idle problems that are associated with the E-303. I have some problems but it isnt too bad. Anyone have any idea on how well this 347 will run with the parts mentioned? Thanks

if i were you i would go with the b-31 or b-41 anderson cam, the b31 uses 1.6 rockers, and the b41 uses 1.7's. the cam specs are the same, only one uses 1.6's and the other 1.7's.
as far as what its going to run, theres a lot of things to consider here, head flow numbers, what intake are you running, auto or stick, stall, gear, slick or no, compression?????????

My question is this, does the Anderson cam cause any idle problems that are associated with the E-303 cam? Also, do you know what the lift is on it?

the b31 makes my car idle perfect, i think the specs are around 226-232 @.050 and .544 lift dont quote me on that, im close but i couldnt find the thread that had all the specs posted in it.
