Project 306 - Patriot Aluminium Heads Your Opinion on Cam.
 

Im Hot tanking and boring my 302 0.30 to a 306,

My choice of Heads is - Patriot Heads for $ 895 they in my budget !?

I was told i can run a cam with a lift up to .550? ,

Now i need your opinion ? What brand , and what cam . and what lift !

Also what is a safe lift ? can maxing out a head to 550 lift even if they aprove of it make problems in the future? i really want to stay safe with this build i about had it with repairs!

Allso what would the total HP - TQ Be around?

My current mods: 373' CAI , TB 75M, Holley systemmax Manifold. - PULLEYS , Drag Radials ,Electric fan and FR Radiotor!...

alot depends on pistons used,valve sizing,cam duration,etc...if your using stock pistons with 2.02 intake valves,youll prob. need to flycut the top of the pistons.with any cam

No, I will Upgrade the Pistons , Pushrod.,! And maybe connecting rods?

cool, go with dss pistons i got a steal on ebay on a set with discontinued part number. $132!!!! brand new in box 12cc dish thats 8.7 to 1 with 60cc head

o ya , im building a turbo motor

Considering you're building a turbo motor, a nice custom cam would be your best bet. However, if you are on a tight budget, a Trickflow Stg-1 would work fine.(The Stg. 2 is excellent for SC cars, but don't know about turbo's). As for heads, I would get a pair of used GT-40's. All in all you should make a nice street setup. With the turbo, you'd be easily pushing 500rwhp with 550-75rwtq. Also, what mufflers are you running? Any chambered muffler(Ie. Flows) will hinder performance on turbo'ed cars. A straight through or turbo muffler will work best.

i dont want to take over 92fox's thread,,,, but i have heads,and i heard the e303 or f303 would make a good boosted cam. thought about running dual 2.5 pipes and no mufflers.

The total lift has nothing to do with how big of a cam you can run, the valve timing events of the cam is what determines that. you would be better off to get a custom cam made for your setup, they usually run aroujnd $350 you will probably make around 280 hp to the wheels.

F303 is better for boost.
e303 would work with boost but you would get more out of the f
custom cam is always the best way to get the most out of the engine.

with heads and cams you get what you pay for....
