88 was the old car. I am building a 93 mass air. I am looking for A LOT of low end. I had great power through out the rpm's with my old setup with a stock cam. I know the e cam is great for low end so thats probably what i will go with as long with the 1.7's.

man... spend the ~200 for 1.7s on something else...

im in the process of putting the valve train in my car... i have an 800$ budget... and i was going to get 1.7s... but w. stock heads... its just not gonna be worth it... u might get a little gain... but their still stock heads

ur getting valve springs right?


e cam has some low/mid range power yea, buddy used to have one in his fox... but there are better cams out there

I made 234 rwhp on a stock motor, stock heads, and a stock cam. I am gonna use the stock heads, just cause it is the way i wanna go. I am wanna go with the 1.7's. I've ran my hole setup idea through a bunch of people and they all say it will work.

Of course it'll work...but what are your power goals for your set up?....what do you hope to run???? what is your complete combo???..if they are small then they are right "E" IF YOU HAVE EMISSIONS

Default RE: Cam clearance

Personally i would not go with a letter cam either....They are alright cams, but you can do better. Research a little bit more. Alphabet cams are "outdated" persay, there are multiple other cams you can go with if you looking to get the most power possible with your setup. Research.
