Cam Choices
 

TFS Stage 1 or TFS Stage 2

with the following:

Edelbrock Heads 1.90/1.60 (Minor Porting/Polishing)
9.5:1 Compression
RPM Air Gap Intake
650 Holley Double Pumper

I'm leaning towards the Stage 1, but I've heard some people mention to me that I should mill my heads, and up compression to 10:1 and get the stage 2.

Also, does anyone know where in Detroit I can get either cam?
Livernois carries both but never has any in stock. So is there anyone else that may?

summitracing.com has em and will deliver right to your door. Best price i have seen.

hey black85gt.
what kind of times are you runnin with your stang. i also have an 85 with same setup except for the heads. i was wondering what times i would see with heads. my best time so far is a 14.08 with stock heads. i know that these heads are restrictive.

well, the heads are still in the boxes, i have not tried them yet. Car is apart undergoing major rebuild. But i can tell you what it ran before. I had a non roller stock 302 block, with stock heads, but bigger valves and mild porting on these heads. Had the RPM intake with 600 holley. and it ran a 13.50 at 102 mph. But that was with the stock 7.5, 2:73 gears. That was on just street radial tires. If it had better gears would have run much better. So yes the heads make all the difference in the world on these cars. Put some heads on yours with that cam and it should really wake it up. Look at the roush 200's. They seem to be a pretty good deal at $800. I got my aluminum holley's for $800 but that was a close out deal. Also the msd ignition made a difference on my car too. Made it much more responsive. I have had this car for 15 years so I have tried quite a few things on it, but the head are where its at for shure!
