That is probably what I will end up doing. 1.72's should satisfy me besides I hear of stock cammed cars running 12's.
A lot of people don't give enough credit to the stock cam.

well thats what i was originally saying. i do think the alphabetical cams are outdated technology. do i have a lot of power to gain switching from the e cam?

Stock cams give you nice low-end, and many would argue that you should not swap in a more aggressive cam without altering the CR.

Well that's what I mean, not that I am planning on a power adder, 13's is plenty for me, that's my goal.

why would you want a cam with lift on ex and intake the same..?...you need more exhaust lift......if you want something close then the vrane 485-512 cam is a good one..don't quote me on the lift it's off the top of my head but I know I'm close..as for something to rev faster you'll need a tighter centerline on the cam..maybe in the 100 range.....I think the e-cam is 114 or 112 c/l

I love my E-Cam!! I noticed a huge gain in HP and TQ!! My car will run 12s with full slicks no problem. And its NA at that.But for the blower application i would try the F-cam i think. People knock the Ford cams but they get the job done.
