Well, it feels good to be back here! After all the time, energy and $$ I spent on my Stang I had to take some time off. Here's the situation. Me and my Uncle are yanking the engine out on 10/27 and having the bearings replaced. What I also want to do is get a more aggressive cam that is set to match my 3500 stall speed. The cam I have now is a custom grind from Comp Cams and is a close match to the emissions legal "E" cam from FRPP. That's how I passed emissions. Now that I'm clear from emissions testing for 2 years I figure I might as well get some more power from my 393. I know there is more HP to be found in there somewhere and short of porting the heads I think the cam would give me some serious HP if designed right. I have no ability to run a roller b/c I am not interested in buying the expensive conversion kit for a 5% HP gain. So, what do you guys think would be a good spec that would provide decent driveability with awesome power potential? I'm happy with what I have now but after subscribing to MM&FF and 5.0 for a year I know that there is more power to be found with a good cam on the larger cube engines.
