The E 303 cam is a good cam but you would pick up great performance with a cold air intake, underive pulleys, and headers and E7TE heads that are ported and 1.7 rockers. This will work great on speed density cars as I have done this. Cams effect engine vacumn and that effects map sensor readings wich can through the fuel curve off.

So you have gotten a speed density car to run good with a e cam? What about b cam?

Sorry to steal the thread but I'm just curious.

it would be alot more efficient if you converted to mass air. speed density and cams just dont mix well in my opinion.
