cam?
 

i'm thing about run a b-cam on my 95 cobra is there any adjustments need to run this cam i had my gt-40 heads ported and polished if you guy's no of any let me know thanks guys.

Re: cam?
 

You should be good to go.

Re: cam?
 

do any of you guy's know if you are able to run a f -cam on a near stock cobra without any mods or valve clearance problems?

Re: cam?
 

You can easily run a F303 cam without clearance issues with 1.6 rockers. I am pretty sure your cobra has 1.7 roller rockers and if you intend to use them with the f cam you should check piston to valve clearance just to be safe I think you would be "OK" but better safe than sorry.

Re: cam?
 

I have ported gt-40 heads, and e-cam, 1.7's and it runs great.
The computer you have may cause problems with the idle after a cam install, definately do some more research, I would suggest a comp cam, because im seeing better numbers and drivability in some of the xre2-?? .544 lift cams, and you can get one specific for using 1.7 rollers.
good luck, and if the heads are off, by all means put a new cam, and timing chain on that thing:)

Re: cam?
 

yeah i have 1.7 crane energizer rockers, what would you guys suggest for a cam on my 95 cobra i haven't really decided on one to run yet, i really don't want to have a real bad idle problem, what do you guys think?

Re: cam?
 

94-95 computers are a crap-shoot with H/C/I combo's. I've had customers pull their hair out trying to restore the driveability on these cars after mild mods.

Re: cam?
 

well had my stock iron gt-40's ported polished the whole deal and had my intake done to match as well so with that i think i'll just put a b- cam in the thing.
????i guess????

Re: cam?
 

Well The b-cam is'nt a bad choice, but there is better cam's out there.
I know the b-cam has a nice lope sound at idle, also works well with 1.7's, Your car will fire up and run like crap with the cam, just be ready to adjust the idle screw on the tb, and disconect the battery, and then reconnect, it and try and get it to learn the mods, it can sometimes be a matter of a couple tweaks, or sometimes hours of frustration.

Re: cam?
 

thanks coupe i really want to know were's the best place to pick up one of those comp cams i looked on summit racing put i'm not sure witch one i need?

Re: cam?
 

this looks like a good cam?

Re: cam?
 

That is the one im talking about, a guy on www.lonestarstangs.com runs that in his 95 gts, he has a typhoon intake and gt-40 p heads making a solid 300 rwhp.
If my motor comes apart for any reason, im putting in that exact bumpstick you linked, I've seen some impressive #'s and topend mph out of a 302 with that cam.

Btw, hope you have some good valvesprings for any of the cams mentioned.
later....

Re: cam?
 

I have had that same combo with B and E and TFS #1 cam even a holly cam, All on a speed desity of course. The E with 4 degrees advance was the very best

Re: cam?
 

Btw, hope you have some good valvesprings for any of the cams mentioned.

i think i'm gonna go with comp valve springs that are recommend by summit racing to go with it, i'm not real sure how to match some up?

Re: cam?
 

Lift: .480 w/1.6 Rockers (.516 w/1.7 rockers)

Duration: 220 deg. @ 0.050 intake

Duration: 226 deg. @ .050 exhuast

Lobe Separation: 115 deg.

Recommended RPM Range: 2500 to 6000


Steeda proudly offers the #19 Cam, similar to the popular #18 Cam, but with a slightly wider lobe separation angle for better vacuum at idle which is required by the more sensitive 94-95 Mustang processor. This cam features a split pattern which favors the exhaust side, and a wide 115° lobe separation for low overlap
The Steeda #19 has been the best cam I've used in my 95 Cobra w/Stock Cobra Iron Ported & Polished GT-40 Heads w/1.7s,Crane Valve spring kit 44308-1, GT-40 Intake Ported & Port Matched,65mm T/B,80mm M/A,24#Inj. and will idle fine on stock ECU w/ no chip,though I do now use Tweecer RT and a new ignition controller after installing a 75 shot of nos. I just installed this cam an I love it.The B the E and the Comp Cams XE270HR-14 are all good cams I've tried.Just not good in my 95Cobra w/eec-iv ECU.It seems to like this Steeda cam a whole lot.Hope this helps.

Re: cam?
 

Well I have the singl w/damper valvespring cca-942, I think, but the springs only cost me 70$, work well but i need to get better matching retainers.

Re: cam?
 

were did you pick up that steeda cam 95/gt/5.0?

Re: cam?
 

Been hearing alot of good things about those steeda cam's too, i just have no personal experience, but i think he is right.
The comp cam i was reffering might work great with a gt, but dont know about a cobra.
oh yea, steeda has a website, also has a catalog, might check there? for a steeda cam:D

Are these the specs for the #19 steeda cam, 95/gt/5.0? cause i couldn't seem to find them on the steeda website (thanks coupe!) and for some weird reason on there site it says the cam only fits the 85-93 stangs whats up with that? but in the description it says good for the 94-95 computers i'm a little confused????? cause if those are the specs and it fits my car i think i'll go with the #19, sounds like you really like it!
If anyone else uses this cam or knows something about it any help would be awesome thanks guy's!

Re: cam?
 

I have heard of 95-94 owners switching to a 88-93 ECU, but without proper tuning it won't be much of an improvement. I also was under the impression that the "B" cam wasn't much of an improvement over the stock cobra cams. I would go with an F or the TFS#1 IMHO. Good luck.

Re: cam?
 

Ok i did it! I ordered the #19 steeda camshaft today form steeda after much much thought and research thanks guy for all your help and advice!

Re: cam?
 

PS.The energizer rockers are crap. Even Crane will tell you the life expectancy of these is low.Get your money back if there new and spend the extra couple bucks to go with a nice set. If you want to stick with crane, they sell a gold race set that are reliable.

Re: cam?
 

well thats good to know, they where in my car when i bought it about three years ago, there 1.7 petestal mount and are for the cobra cars they run for about 200.00, they seem to be in great shape but maybe i'll look into some others.

Re: cam?
 

Sure there is better rockers out there, but i disagree with usmc.
The crane 1.7's are fine, they are actually designed for reliability and daily use.
I laugh at some of my friends that I can beat everytime with their high dollar comp cam rockers, including stud mount's....
I will eventually go with those scorpion rockers if mine do wear out, which im not seeing any noticeable wear, and i have alot of miles on mine.
I mean everything has a low life expectancy if you race hard, and frequently.
Btw, If I had a nice stroker motor like usmc's, of course I would have some stud mount crane golds. :)

can anyone tell me I have gt40p heads that im having ported all the way out as far as they can go I have a stage 1 trick flow cam 499/510 lift, and corba intake with 24lb injectors will this be a good set?

Re: project code blue
 

Sounds good, please tell me you have upgraded springs on those heads.
but your looking at a possible 300 rwhp through a 5spd, I never dynoed yet, but you should make little more power than my combo below.

Re: project code blue
 

yes i have upgrade my springs they good up to a .600 lift and I also have suspension work and 3.73 gears,bbk cold air intake and I also having the corba intake port match to the heads. 70mm throttle body and rite now the heads have 1.94 intake valves and 1.54 exhaust valves. So im hoping to see on motor at least some mid to low 11's. Thats what I'm hoping to see and I also have 1.6 ratio roller rockers to go with it....

Re: cam?
 

I also plan on looking at the scorpion rockers when I have to swap my 1.7 trick flows out for a 1.6 version in the spring.

Re: cam?
 

hydroc, unless your car is real light, or you can cut a 1.4 60ft, low 11's is tough to do on a n/a 302, unless your reving to 7K+ rpms, And the suspension has to be decked out.
For me to even see low 12's with my combo, I would have to see a low 1.6 60 ft or better.
good luck, keep it updated.

Re: cam?
 

hrdroc i would while your at it put on a mass air meter and c&l power pipe with that throttle body, i had a cold air kit on my car then i put the power pipe on with the mass air and i love it, just a suggestion.
your set up sounds alot like mine gt 40 heads and intake fully ported,70mm bbk tb,75mm mass air & power pipe,24lb injectors, 1.7 rockers,4.10 gears,steeda valve spring kit,#19 steeda cam, ram clutch,venom chip.

do you plan on putting a cam in the car?

Re: cam?
 

yeah i have a cam trick flow stage 1 499/510 lift i have a mass air meter cold air intake 24lb injectors 70mm i have 1.6 roller rockers cause i dont know the clearance of the pistons to valves

Re: cam?
 

yeah i didnt see the cam in your thread, i'm running the steeda cam with a 516 lift with 1.7's everyone i have talked to said i should be good, even my local mustang shop but i still feel like i'm taking a chance. i haven't got my motor all back together and running yet so i hope i see some good numbers to.!

Re: cam?
 

yeah i wanted to use 1.7's but by my lift being 499/510 with 1.6 rockers 1.7's i think is going to be too much and i might not have the clearance i need but u should see some good numbers

Re: cam?
 

FWIW, the dowl pins at the end were the problem I had with mine, they were sliding out of place and Crane told me this was a sign of the end of there lifespan. Of course, Crane also knew I was going to spend more money with them...... :rolleyes: I probably had 6 or 7k miles on them before I tore everything down for the 331, that's when I noticed them. Glad I did because those little dowel pins in the motor = disaster. Good luck either way! :D

Re: cam?
 

I never knew rockers had "dowels".?

hydroc, I heard of people using 1.7's with that cam, and stock pistons, but i would do some more research.

Re: cam?
 

Yeah I know I called Trick Flow and they was telling me that they know 1.6's would work and will give you that lift of the cam. But 1.7's will take up the lift .030 on the intake and the exhaust being intake .499 to .529 and exhaust being .510 to .540... So they told me that I had to check the clearance and myself and go from there. But I was hoping that someone would know and would be able to tell me for sure if they will work....

Re: cam?
 

Rockers

LOL, ok, ok, the Needle bearing fulcrum. Just thought I would lose some people here. Here's a pic as well.

Re: cam?
 

with thi set what type of after market intake would work good with this....any suggestions

Re: cam?
 

What's wrong with your current cobra intake? IMO, for what you have, that's a suffice intake.

Re: cam?
 

LOL, I knew you had to be kiddin around, I was thinking, you must be talking about fulcrum as well, i can see how that would wear down.

Another vote for the cobra, but the typhoon is a good choice, inexpensive, and will flow a little better.

Im surprised no one else has chimed in on the tfs/1.7 combo, I know for a fact someone here has used this combo, I remember asking if they would clear since i almost got a tfs1 cam, but instead went with the e-cam, and someone told me they ran this with stock pistons, i know of some guys running an x-cam with stock pistons, yea it's close, one missed shift, and over rev motor, valve meets piston.

Re: cam?
 

I have the TFS 1 with 1.7 rockers. But I am upgrading to the Windsor SR heads in the spring, and going to check the combo all over again. I am thinking I am going to go down to the 1.6's just to be safe with this set-up, but that is my gut feeling right now.

Current combo, 1.7, TFS-1, E7's with stick valves, stock 91 pistons.
