hmm maybe i'll hold out on the juice till i beef up the engine lol my 1st stang i dont want to blow to hell already anyways thanks for all the info you guys are really helpful

Jeankrist

ok what about with this set up

gt40 heads
e303 cam
bbk cai
valve springs
shorty headers bbk
summit fake flows

any input on price and hp gains?

Classic combo. I'm planning something similar.

I'd guess about 270 rwhp.

Price depends on where you score your stuff. Anywhere between $800-$1800 depending on how good of a bargain hunter you are.

www.latemodelrestoration.com sells that exact engine combo with all new parts and headers for about $1700. So that's the most expensive option.

Jeankrist

yeah im going that route first now and then adding 255lph fuel pump maybe upgrading to 4.10 gears, 24lb injectors and adding the 125 shot wet with a shift kit hopefully reach 310hp and run mid 12s

FivePointOhh

get away from these letter cams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Alex-7

Yeah (OP), I have no practical experience with either....


But the Trick Flow Stage 1 seems to be the entry level "off the shelf" cam of choice around here....


"alphabet" cams are supposedly all out dated in design.....but people seem to make very similar numbers with both of them (tfs1/e303) though..... from what I've seen.......

Also, I'd recommend doing the 4.10 gear swap BEFORE your H/C/I swap. Just to get you moving faster cheaper sooner......

Jeankrist

really? i thought the e303 was decent atleast, i dont mind changing it for a trick flow if its a better cam and yes the 4.10s are coming before the H/C/I im also upgrading the suspension i was told by a buddy that with a 125 shot added to set up it would go from about 280hp to 375hp any inputs on suspension components?

FivePointOhh

if you want an ots cam go with a comp cam xtreme energy.

Portmaster

Yeah, I've pulled many an engine (especially 5.0's) because the owner tried to powershift a T-5 with the hammer down and Nitrous throttle switch closed. They go quick at the trip to 10,000 rpm, lol

FivePointOhh

lol, glad you hear what im sayin. i have nothin against nitrous. im going to be using it myself probably this summer. but too many peeps just dont have a clue sometimes and blow up their shizz.
