Default Cam Help

302 (92 GT HO) bored .030 over and fully balanced, hypereutectic pistons, scorpion rocker arms, SFI flexplate, FR valve tappets, FR e-303 camshaft, hardened pushrods, Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads, FR aluminum dual plane intake manifold (port matched), Holley 600 cfm Carb, Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump, Flowtech LT headers, true 2 1/2" dual exhaust w/ Flowmaster 40s, MSD 6AL box blaster coil and wires, Edelbrock gear drive set, aluminum radiator, Ford 9" rear end with 3.89 gears and a spool, disc brakes all the way, on MickeyThompson ET Street Radials 235/65/15 out back and BFG 205/65/15 out front. C4 auto trans.

No power steering and no ac.
NOS nitrous kit in the coming weeks.
Everything is in the car except the rear end and 2 1/2 exhaust (currently on 1 3/4 w/ 2 flows) which I hope to get done in the next two weeks and then take it to get dyno-tuned.

Now I would like to take this car into the high 11s N/A if possible and w/ nitrous maybe low to mid 11s, any cam recommendations? I know my weak spot is the FR e303 cam in there right now. Thanks in advance.

Dump the Ford Racing Dual Plane intake (it's crap) put a Edelbrock RPM Air gap intake on with a 650 DP Holley, Comp Cams NX274HR cam and throw the Gear Drive in the trash in favor of a quality chain. Limit your squeeze to a 100 shot with those pistons. You will need about 2400 stall
