Default 331 or 347

Hello my fellow mustang drivers. Im still debating on which stroker kit to buy for my 1995 gt. I just purchased a new set of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads, Procharger, and Heat Trick FLow upper and lower intake. I also bought some 1.7 trick flow roller rockers. If i decide to go with the 331 which cam would go good with that set without having any clearance issues.

cam choice and it's lift have nothing to do with ptv occuring, it's all about the vaklve events and where the valve is at during the change over cycle....I wish people would learn this......op you have much research to do before you continue your purchase...like why 1.7 rockers??, what block?? how much boost??.......leave the cam choice up to an expert who knows what he is doing...www.flowtechinduction.com

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at buying the trickflow stage 2 cam and they mentioned that i would have clearance issues and the valves wouldnt last long. I bought the 1.7rr because they were on sale $75 cheaper that the 1.6 and now i regret it. Im going to go ahead and stroke it for a 331 and just run about 9psi to stay on the safe side.
