Hey Adder, i know you don't like or recommend any of the letter cams from Ford, what do you think about the Comp Cams Xtreme Energy Stage 1 cam? In the article is states that the AFR heads can be used with a cam up to 220 degrees of duration @ .050 lift with no problem, and the comp cam has 212 degrees of duration @.050 lift, so do you think this would be a good combo? If i wanted to use 1.7 roller rockers would this still work out with out and PTV clearance?

The only difference between the smog legal and non smog legal is the smog legal has provisions for an air pump. Otherwise they perform exactly the same.

So if i was gonne take off all the smog stuff it would def be the way to go huh? Would i have to change anything else like the lines that go to the EGR spacer or anything on the back side of the engine that the smog pump goes into? Pretty much just plug that stuff off right? Thanks for the info.
