Cam Question
Hi, I have been a member for several months now, but have yet to post due to the nifty search feature at the top that has helped me out so much. But now I have a question that I can not find an answer to, which involves cams. I have a stock bottom end 302 with AFR 165 heads and a trick flow street heat intake, but I cant decide between a few cams and any help would be appreciated.
1) Lunati 51025 - 112 Lobe Separation
224 intake/ 232 Exhaust duration
.535/.544 lift
2) Anderson Ford recommended theN-41 -110 Lobe Separation
222 intake/ 232 Exhaust duration
.512/.512 lift
I called comp and lunati and they recommended the 276h cam with 114 lobe separation, 220/224 duration, and .544/.560 lift (Comp) and part# 61011112 lobe separation, 221/229 duration, and .549/.565 (lunati), but I would think the lift would be a little high for both cams they recommendedsince I dont want to flycut my pistons. Any suggestions?

RE: Cam Question
Sorry, I knew I forgot to add something, it is a 1990 mustang and it is my daily driver. Also I can get the lunati cam for $289 and the anderson cam for $299, so its not that big of a difference price wise, I was kind of leaning more towards the anderson cam, but i can't find that much info on them or the lunati for that matter.

RE: Cam Question
i run a 512 lift cam in my 87 gt with afr 165 heads and stock pistons i have no ptv clearance problems. lift doesnt realy have much to do with the clearance its the valve events and duration that you have to consider. all of the cams you are looking at should work fine but always check piston to valve clearance on any cam no matter what. and if i am not mistaken 87 to 93 5.0's already have fly cut pistons. personally i like the anderson cams.
