cam question

I've seen people install the e-cam on sn-95's and use 1.7's, the guy I bought my current 306 from had such on it, but look at it, with the cobra cam and 1.7's switching to a e-cam won't yield you any power increase or at least any noticable butt-o-meter feel as it won't be a huge increase over what you have currently in stock form

To be honest it feels about like my 4.6 2 valve with bolt ons with another 30 hp. I think it has great overall drivability.

stock heads + cam swap = waste o time.
trust me, i had B cam on stock heads, i've had friends with E cam, F cam, X cam's on stock heads, they all feel the same just the rpms where the power kicks in changes. like the B cam feels lame as all hell until 3500rpms+ then you get a kick in the *** with power. there is absolutely no low end on it.
here is a comparison. you'll see with the B cam and stock heads it even has trouble tachin itself out because the heads dont allow for it and the car has no low end because of the cam. but in the other video, the car has no issues with jumping straight to the redline, i lost a ton of power in 3rd gear in the first video cause a few roller rockers loosened themself up to the point they werent opening the valve.

you guys need to remember that he has a cobra. the GT40 package isnt nearly as restrictive as the E7 setup.
OP look into the Steeda #20 cam. you WILL need to upgrade your valve springs, which will involve some machine work. while you have the heads off you should have a valve job done and grind the thermactor bumps out of the exhaust ports.
also, a 70mm tb would be to your advantage
