RE: performance question
but the cam was installed alone the gear didn't come til later. the 15.1 was with cam only, without even changing springs in the heads i believe, which i did later. the 14.7 was the next run after i had put on every thing else that it has now. i never mentioned what exhaust i was running i noticed ,but it was a custom x no cats wit mac pro dumps. also for more clarification it had the strock t body, non-ported intake, and stock gt rockers with that 14.7 run. it's gettin those as it's going back together hopefully to help it some more. so i really wonder wtf was my car so slow? everyone else knows it should've been faster which confirmed my suspicions, so whats going on with it?

RE: performance question
Have you done all the normal tune up stuff to make sure the car is running optimal? Wouldn't hurt to check the timing also. With stock heads your cam is going to do pretty much nothing for your car.

RE: performance question
well timing should be adjusted in the chip i've got, as far as tuned up it has ford 9mm plug wires and ngk plugs and a msd coil what else could i be missing. but the cam actually brougt me up over a second in the quarter

RE: performance question
I have almost the same setup except gt40p heads catted x pipe rpm intake and 70mm tb
I have run a best of 13.99 without nitrous
that cam is listed as a nitrous,supercharger,blower cam
I think it is the cam....

Also, like onyx said, the new cam is not going to do much for performance in a stock headed car. Those heads can only flow so much (which is very little). Have you changed your fuel filter? Checked fuel pressure? What do you shift at?
Also what 'chip' do you have?

RE: performance question
yes it is a 5 speed unfortunatley 
not because i don't like 5 speeds just because they are slower then auto stock and mines almost slower then the 95 gts auto that my dad has if not slower and all its got done to it is bypass the smog pump i shift round a five thousand. fuel filter has been changed after i bought the car which will be three years in february but i only put about 20 k on the car since then. it also has a bbk 190lph fuel pump pressure is regulated at 39. and this is what jms chip cororation said " need to have fuel pressure and timing set to stock that the chip will change it on the different levels of performance." it's like a three stage chip. i know the heads suck. i wish i could find some exploder heads and intake for it.
