Ok im puttin in a stock 99 explorer 302 in my stang just switching it all the electronics over to the current setup of my 93 GT. 99 Explorer has GT40 intake and Pheads. Im puttin in double springs to keep the valves from floating. Im Runnin 150 shot NOS, 3.73 gears, BBK CAI, And 24# Inj. This is a street/strip car.

RE: Cam help
Actually going with a better spring is fine, I do it all the time. He is right about the stockers floating at RPM's much above 5000 rpm. He won't really hurt anything. How do you guys think we spun a stock cammed 302 to nearly 7000 rpm and made 520+ rwhp? (it had a blower as well)

RE: Cam help
i bought my assembled victor jr heads. .650 lift rated springs. then a cam. id get an E cam or a TF st.1. buying springs first is nothing major if you know youre not gonna be liftin .600+ or something, which i doubt hell be doing since he dont wanna cut the pistons.

Its not an issue of going to a better spring, its about buying springs first then matching the cam, when that is totally backwards
