Yet another "Will the T Rex cam fit in my car" question. Sorry for asking this again but I want a bigger cam in my 408. The one I have now is in my sig and I wished I had gone bigger when I did it the first time. The heads I have are Absolute Speed Stage 2 heads with I believe stock valve sizes and milled .030. Thanks!

i think for your intent you should call up futral or tsp and talk about what you want out of this cam, and get a custom one off spec'd out for you. thats the way to go one you leave the realm of stock cubes....

With a valve job and bigger valves, there's probably no chance the T-ReX is going to fit without flycutting. I'm guessing the pistons you're running do not have valve reliefs, correct?
Heck, if I had a 408, I'd go bigger than the T-ReX.
I wouldn't call a cam with more than .600" of lift one specifically designed for stock heads. Just because it was designed to fit stock heads without modifications doesn't mean it's not capable of producing more power with better flowing heads.

RedReaper-Call TR and talk to Paul or Jason. They'll help you figure it out.

It SHOULD fit your engine with no problem. But it's always good to know what your piston to deck clearance is (in the clylinder or out of the clylinder), how much was the heads shaved? etc.

Wayne,
That cam will fit just fine with no prob in your motor, just give me a call and I'll get you hooked up with the same cam that I put in Amber's car(she was with More performance) She dynoed 431rwhp with just headers and my cam...stock cubes.. I can do you something nasty and won't hurt your pocketbook.
later,
Brian
