Cam for S-trim and TFS TW heads
 

What do you guys recommend for a cam?

Specs:
1989 Mustang Roadrace project (notice NOT dragrace) 3500-5500
*New TFS TW stage-II heads being installed with 1.72rr
Vortech S-trim
Cobra intake
36# injectors
80mm MAF
Autologic chip for above
1-5/8" MAC lontube headers offroad h-pipe and 2-1/2" exhaust

So whadda ya say? Some "already been there" examples...

I think those 1.72 rocker arms are going to really limit the # of cam selections.

I like my TFS #1 cam and looking at my dyno sheet I have a nice fat 4k-6k powerband. Pretty sure you can't run this cam with that set-up unless some piston work has been done. Sorry, I'm not much of a cam guru.

Those injectors may be overkill. Isn't the s-trim rated at 5lbs boost?

Why are you using 1.7s? For that powerband I would go with a E-303 with 1.6rockers.

Also since this is going to be roadrace your going to want to get as much weight off the front of the car as possible. Get that battery to the trunk, lightweight hood, and remove the A/C too.

on crane cams website they list the 2031 as a blower cam and it is listed to run with the 1.7 rockers.

The Crane 2031 is the same cam that ford put in the 93-95 Cobras (it's not much of a power maker). There are plenty better cams to go with IMO. The e-303 or TFS #1 with 1.6s would be much better than the 2031.

Doesn't Anderson Ford Motorsport make killer cams for blowers? I would think that one of their cams would make far better power than a e-cam.

Try Dennis @ Lugo Performance. He is really good with custom ground blower/turbo cams. He picked the blower cam in my car...

Thanks guys. I decided on the TFS Stage-I cam with new 1.6rr's.
In the market for that cam if you got one...


p.s. I already sold the 1.72's so dont ask. :D

I've got one, but it's not for sale. I think i'll keep it in the block.:p

Actually, I think you'll be really happy with this set-up. I could only imagine how my car would perform with some higher flowing heads. I've seen these advertised in Summit just recently. I think the price for the TFS #1 is right around $150. Not too bad at all.
