11.90's goal, nitrous needed?

[interwest]

Got supreme confidence in my builder, awesome shop, treated my motor like it was their own, meticulous would be an understatement. Anyway.. Stall is in the works here, just wondering with the setup I have, wouldn't a 2500 be fine considering the e303 cam?

ask your shop bro, they built your combo and will be able to best suit you, but a 2500 isn't much over stock and will be pretty useless. im going to guess a 3200 will fit you great.

You need to decide what you want to do with the car. Run it on motor, or on the gas. That's gonna effect your stall size and STR. Give that information to your shop and let them tell you what you need. 3200 sounds a bit large for your setup, mainly because you're not making much power up top at all. IMO, I would just get a different cam and then get a decent size stall. Get something that's gonna make some power up top.

I don't want to beat a dead horse but I can't reiterate this enough. You still have ton of power left in that combo with the right cam. It is the MOST important part of a build if already have a good set of heads. You could potentially have 5-10% more power waiting to be untapped with the right cam. If don't do it right the first time you will eventually get annoyed and end up doing it over again. Don't just get another FR cam. They are not designed to work with your specific build. Please post this topic in the 5.0L General Discussion section and see what type of advice you get.

yes i know its a 5 speed car, but this one will see 11.3x on the same setup soon, and this is in arizona, where drag racing is not ideal

Well, at the time, I really don't want to change the cam out. Yet.. With the setup I have, I want to take it down to 11s.
Question that comes up though is, with a cam swap to lets say what someone in the 5.0L suggested, a Comp Cams NX274HR, how streetable is it?

Seriously I must be talking to a brick wall. Does Comp Cams make a bump stick that is specific to your application and what you want out of it??? No. If go to the trouble to make a cam swap, mine as well spend the extra $100 and get a "fitted" cam. Please post a thread with your combo and what you want from it in the 5.0L General Discussion section and see what people suggest. You are asking questions about SBF cams in the wrong section. There is very limited knowledge about specifics on certain motors in S/S. It's all about what it will run in this section.

Wow, no offense, really, but mellow out. I took your advice and posted in the 5.0L section for help on cams. The ONE response to my question that I recently asked, suggested that specific comp cam, I'M JUST RESTATING WHAT THE GUY SAID IN YOUR GODLY 5.0L section to me. Maybe I didn't state my questions well or what not, but that's the answer I got.
Good lord, I asked if I needed nitrous to hit 11s, it was you that brought up cams.

On the spray, with your "E" cam, you will break into the 11's. End Thread!!!
