ive been told to get a camshaft and a new timing chain will that help make my engine stronger for a future supercharger? what kind of cam should i get? If i get some eibachs do i have to replace the struts? i want to make my engine stronger and add horsepower what should i do. I ran a 15.1 at fun ford weekend and i had headers and gears. Im going again an i want to get in the 13's to 12's. i have an automatic and i wanna know the best way to shift on the dragway.It is an aod without shiftkit. thanks joey

 

under-drive pulleys are cheap, easy to install, and will give you 12-15 hp. but you will really feel it on your launches!!the e-cam, and the f-cam (e303; f303) are both great cams, and very enexpensive. definetly improve your breathing system by using a bbk cold air kit mixed with a 70mm throttle body. it wouldn't hurt to upgrade your mass air. you won't spend a lot doing this, but you won't be in the 12's either. to do that, you need to get a better upper and lower intake, and better heads. or just save up to get a t-trim supercharger!!!! good luck joy!!

 

i duno about that e or f cam.. i know they r good but my frined had an e cam in his 86 and he had the cai headers and t/body and mass air conv. and with that cam the car ran like sh*t.. ended up being that the cam was too big for the car... he has recently put the stocker back in and runs ten times better..

 

your right, w/o modified heads it will run like sh*t. i'm glad you thought of that !!!

 

lol my friend has a 64 comet with a 5.0 outta a 92 stang and he has the b cam... but since he jsut got his new edelbrock heads he wants to get the ecam off my other buddy... kinda find it funny..

 

Ive been hearing about these things called 1.72 Roller Rockers. how much horsepower will it give me onj stock engine but i have a cold air intake and headers. what the hell are these Roller Rockers and what is a good kind? where could i buy them? are they hard to install?

 

Well said spike. I run the E and havent had a problem yet

E is a good blower cam but with out the blower or juice the b is more than sufficient

 

i've heard that about the b-cam, could you explain though, i'm curious

 

The E is only a tiny bit different when you read thespecs. but it sounds like an animal even in a basically stock motor. (at least mine did) 90% of the 5.0s around here run a B. The E just seems to gel with blown or nitrous motors. And its emissions legal. (go figure) Some say the E too much cam but it worked out well for me.

 

very interesting!!!!
