hey, I am going to be getting a beefier 5.0 done this coming april. so i might be using a E303 cam, or i might not. does anybody have charts on the cams? what is a good lift/duration for a street cam (but I still want it to haul ***)

anybody have preferences?

is this an automatic of 5 speed? what other mods so far? gear ratio?

Darth Menace

I am getting a new engine built. it will be a EFI 302. gear ratio is 3.55. mods will be exhaust, trick flow heads (probably, since i am leaning towards that). 5 speed

what a fast rev engine?,looking for more top end or bottom?
will this be a mostly street driven car?..will it be a daliy driver? which heads? are the pistons stock compression?

you can go to the homepage of comp cams and put in all the stuff that your car and engine has and they will pick a cam that will fit prefectly with your car

how does that work I dont see it at all

Darth Menace

can anyone tell me the difference of the street cams and other cams. are street cams able to pass emissions and racing cams not? or really what is the difference? do racing cams shorten the life considerably of the engine?

mdvaldosta

Racing cams are for flat out acceleration, they have poor drivability, low vacuum,privide HIGH RPM power and little torque, and are hard on the valvetrain. Street / Strip cams provide power at a reasonable street rpm and still idle descent, lower lifts and makes more power down low. Not usually emissions legal but can be.

Darth Menace

well really i dont care if my car is emissions legal or not. however, i jusyt thought that was the difference.</P>

anyways, when looking at cams for sale how do i tlel which is a street/strip cam and which is a racing cam? certain numbers of the cam project certain types of cams?</P>
