If it would have been 10:1 with bigger head and good cam it would be more like the 306s you are thinking of and comparing it to. And you had tfs 170s right?

 

Lmao ok now we are gettin some were jays cam compared to x

 

Like I said, X cam sucks...

 

X Cam?

 

The ONLY ONLY ONLY a, b, c, 1, 2, 3 cam that is worth a damn is the F cam because it actually works really good with a turbo. And that was on accident by Ford.

 

I said ther were beter cams. But matched right frpp cams are ok. Now you had 170tfs heads wich are compared to 185 afrs because of the cross section. So you had larger head custom grind cam. I had
Ford cam and smaller heads . Mine had 2mph on yours with a slower 60ft. This is because urs is heavier. So our motors were close to equal with you having a custom grind and beter head. So with that said the x cam isnt horrible. But I do agree not the best by far

 

this was not bought new as my choice. Its what I had and worked with lol.

 

e cam with frpp 1.72 rockers also works good with fi. To me if im gonna own a pos ford I like messing with ford parts. To make real power you cant use anything ford except frpp boss block. Every thing else about it has to be aftermarket. To me its more fun to mess with junk ford **** and see what can be done with it vs all out built ****. Like my 03 cobra swap (ford) not aftermarket.

 

No I had AFR 165s

 

I don't give a **** if it's made by Toys-R-Us for a Ford. If it makes me go faster I'll bolt it on. E cam with anything sucks. So does the new Boss block.

 

damn i remember the f cam. way back in the day i had a 306 gt40 f cam set up in a coupe 86 mustang. it ran 12.60's lol. It was a fun ride for what it was. That damn thing couldnt havent weighed 2600 pounds soaking wet. There are certainly better cam choices that the letter cams and that piece of **** in my sig. My friend had a bolt on 5.0 gt fox with an E cam and I outran him in my pi headed automatic convertable 4.6. It sounded pretty good but couldnt get out its own way.

 

So with this guy having the weight and build advantage, im at a loss for words on why he got stomped out so bad? He was shifting solid for the split seconds i could see....he wasnt spinning.....idk???

Could it be the built tranny, stall, gears....good tune and just a strong running ls1? Hell im only about 160 and I a little less than a qtr tank.

I have a set of 243's sitting in my garage with about 4k on them, ls6 cam and a few other suspension goodies. I'm debating on putting them in for a sleeper set up, or sending them to one of the sponsors for porting and a custom cam. Also playing with the idea of a used lq4/9 with a 226/226 cam....somewhere in that area. I'm not to big on the choppy idle, i still wanna be able to take a road trip without getting a sig loan for good gas

 

Maybe I missed it but did you figure out what that guys set up was? If he doesnt have a decent HCI set up on that 347 then you would absolutely outrun him.

send the heads off man and get a big cam **** being a sleeper, put people to sleep

 

Here is what i was able to find out:


Well i found out a little info on the guy I had the run with. He was mouthing off to a buddy of mine from the gym....they both are Stang owners. It was a 347 stroker with long tubes, x pipes w /dumps, udp, ported tb and ported performance plenum, 4.XX gears, tune and X cams. He wouldnt say how much he was making or the exact specs of the cam.

 

If he doesnt have a decent set of heads to go along with the rest of that then Im not suprised you go him good. That thing would be breathing thru a straw. Ls1's are tough from a roll. Sounds like a guy who decided to build a347 and just threw parts at it. Im certainly no expert tho stoppy could tell ya better than i could

 

Us 302/351 one guys werent blessed with the good parts that the ls1's got from the factory

 

Put a lsx in that bitch and watch it go then!!

lol @ ford = toys r us

 

hahahaha go to turbo forums and look at botom 10 cars with e cam
daily driven. they could probly be in the 9s with another cam. but botom 10s is good enough for most ppl.

 

You gonna need it.

Good to know i've been missed. Been busy.

 

Actually of those cams were designed by Crane. E cam was good if you had to pass emmissions years ago but it needed lots of timing and a spacer on the IAC or cold and low rpms would buck like crazy

Boss block sucks.

I went from an E to an F and slowed down. Again I didn't have enough cubes or power to gain with it. They love to rev...As Kevin said good turbo cam though
