hey guys, as some of you know im doing a roller cam conversion soon but im not sure on which cam to pick. any suggestions? thanks...

 

I'm still scared to do it.

 

Crane Cams
Ford E303

 

so far im planning on using the E303cam, but i want to see if anyone here has tried it to see how they like it over stock.

 

I know alot of Stang guys use em. Look over at corral.net

 

I had the E303 in my old 89 mustang and loved it,but I dont know if I would recommend it for a truck. It didnt seem like it really made good power until about 2700 RPM. (I am not sure if it will work with speed density or not-you might want to check into that.)
My 92 F150 has a stock 89 mustang cam and it seemed perfect. It raised the powerband a little, but not too much.
Just my $.02

 

I think Donate is going to convert to MAS.

 

im going to be running mass air so im not worried about that. i was afraid the e303 would put my powerband a little too high, but i want something a little more powerful than the stock stang cam. thanks for the input, any more cam suggestions?

Its matched to my Edelbrock Performer intake, lightly ported stock heads, true dual exhaust including long tubes, 5spd and 3:55 gears. Cost my about $350 but the thing rocks. Torque improvement over stock starts at 1500rpm and at 3000rpm its a nice big spike that it carries all the way to 4500rpm or so that it did not have before. Max shift RPM on the stock tach is 5500rpm.


.506"/.506" (w/1.6), 263/269 adv, 213/220 @.050, on a 110 LSA

This is the H.O. firing order cam which gives you the added benefit of a much better sounding exhaust.

so far ive been leaning towards the crane powermax 2020 cam. it says its power range is between 1500-5000 and gives good low and and midrange torque. specs are 208/216 duration @.050 with 530/530 lift and 112 lsa. ive been playing around with desktop dyno and that it shows that that cam does give some nice low end torque. now i need to make sure i wont have any clearance problems with all that lift (especially if i use 1.6 or 1.7 rockers).

 

damn, the more i think about it, the more i want to get a custom cam made. im gonna shoot him an email and see what he can do for me. maybe he'll give me a discount if i say JerryK sent me

 

GO for it! He'll ask why I haven't gotten off my butt and taken my truck to the track or dyno to validate the results.. tell him I've been ummm, err.. hunting!

well i sent him an email and i know he read it (since i have aol too and you can check the status of the email), but no response. what's teh maximum lift i can safely run with no valve-to-piston clearance problems???

 

Damn, your trying to go all out. Do you want your truck to shake while your at idle?

 

well i dont mean to go all out, but i am asking a lot of questions because i want to do as much researcch as i can before i choose a cam.
