Default bigger better cam then f303

my car's got 302 bored to 306, full bolt ons. exhaust short headers no cats x pipe, intake, bbk throttle body, holley intake upper and lower, gt40 cast heads ported polished, f303 cam. 24 lb injectors, ac, and smog delete, pulleys, 255 walbro pump. think thats about it motor wise. 1.6 rr

well just got car custom tuned and dynoed. only puttin 280 hp to the wheels and 316 ft/lb torque. my injectors are only 24lb and a stock mass air also. now runnin 22* advance timing.

thinkin about goin to lightning mass air. bigger injectors, bigger better cam.

what do yall suggest?

You don't need bigger injectors. The fcam is a decent cam and bigger isn't always better, theres more to it than that. With gt40 heads that is a pretty good number so don't be down on yourself. I would drop the smog delte and just get a shorter belt. That delete kit is worthless no matter what brand. Just throw a bottle on there and youll be straight.

only 280hp? your lucky you make that with those heads. id do a head swap before i swap out the cam. and your injectors are fine, you dont need more fuel
