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?

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

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.
