Trick Flow Stage 1 cam - Which rockers?

2FastLX · 03-17-2001, 10:12 PM

I just ordered a Trick Flow Stage 1 cam and was wondering what would be the best rockers to use with this cam. I have the stock heads for now which have had a fairly aggressive port job done on them plus they have a 3 angle valve job, and have been deck milled .030". I don't care if I have to buy pedestal mount rockers now just to save a little cash for extra machine work because that will probably help me sell these heads when I buy my new ones.

Also... for those of you that have used this cam, how does it idle? I'm hoping it has some lope to it but have no idea of the specs because it was recommended to me by a friend who builds Stangs so I got it. I probably should have done more research, but I have been told by a few other people that this cam would do good for me.

Thanks.

You'll get it figured out by then man. Keep the faith! If you don't you'll have to get it over to my house some day soon and I'll try to get a couple friends to come down and look at it. I has to be something simple.

1.6's sound like the way to go. 1.7's sound like I'd have to have the pistons cut

Oh yeah, if you want Drew you can borrow my cold air kit for a few runs hehe. I guess I'm not going to be the slow guy this time

All right. I'm getting varying stories here by a friend. He says I can't use this cam with shaved stock heads. Please help!
