![]() What's the best cam for mildly ported stock heads and a Cobra intake with a stock bottomend. The rest of my combo is in my sig. I was thinking either a E cam (.498/.498) or Lunati 51014 (.500/.510)

![]() theres a few comp cams that list as stock replacements u might wanna checkout, but with stock heads even with the bumps gone i'd stick with stock cam until u can get better flowin heads. the cobra intake would do just fine but again i dunno if the heads could keep up with the E. the reason i say that is cuz my old motor was stock cept for headers an the Bcam an my buddy had stock GT which was even with me if not faster.

![]() 1.7 roller rockers might work well for you, that's what i'd go with.

![]() While we're on the subject of cams. The E cam seems to be pretty popular, so I'm assuming it is doing something right. But, I have read numerous times of the piss-poor idle quality that it provides. What exactly are the problems associated with the E303 and idle quality? I am considering getting one, because they are cheap, but I dont want any problems. Also, what about the F303? Is it any better for stock induction than the E303? Thanks folks.

![]() Surging idle issues are hit or miss with the e-303. some get them, some dont.
do you feel lucky? |

![]() F-303 is good cam, but its to big for stock heads. e-303 isnt the best for stock heads either. you should just change your cam and heads at the same time.

![]() I think I'm going to put a E cam in it with my 1.7's. (I love the idel of a E cam with 1.7's) I had a E cam in my last motor which was completly stock excapt for 1.7's, E cam, shorty headers, off road h-pipe, Flowmasters, and a cold air kit. It went 13.90 at 100mph with 2.73 gears on radials. The car then weighted 3300lbs with driver. I sold that motor to guy who is now running 12.90's with the same parts I had except for a Cobra intake, 65mm TB, and 3.73's in a full weight GT.

![]() my car with ported E7's and an explorer intake (same as your cobra, almost) and a B303 w/ 1.7s went 12.85@106 on a bad night
people knock the FMS cams all the time, but they arent really THAT bad. Its just that theres better ones out there. I'm gonna be slapping in a anderson cam soon in mine, wanna buy a used B303? ![]()

![]() Let me get this straight...I buy a b cam, 3.73's, 1.7 rockers, port my E7's, slap on my Explorer intake, throw on my BBK longtubes/h-pipe and 65 mm throttle body/egr and drive the crap out of my car and high 12/low 13's are attainable?

![]() E7's have pedestal mount rockers. You will have to buy 1.7's for pedestal mount heads, and they will come with all the hardware needed for install.
check your PM's
