Could anyone tell me what kinda of cam i should use as an upgrade.
Also could anyone recommend what fuel pump i should use (other than oem part) 155 LPH , 190 LPH? and what brand is best?

[coupe5oh]

you need some good flowing heads or else your wasting your time, the stock cam and 1.7 rockers is a good combo until you get some massive heads.

[thunderchicken]

Agreed...Get your heads first,and then think about the cam,and what type of combo your looking for......

[X2CRAYZIX]

Thank you guys for your info ....ok what type of heads should i get?I really dont know where to go with this car but i do know i want to be able to still drive on the street and once in awhile at the track for fun..

[Lifted78Chevy]

easy.......afr's or trick flow heads......from 165 to 185, your'll be pick up 50-75 hp easy with these heads and a cam and intake.......i pickup 120hp with the small afr 165 heads, car be very fun to drive......if your not sure on all the nuts and bolts in doing a head swap there some great shops here in sa that help ya out and do some dyno tuning get the most out of your ride.

Yea , When the money is coming in better I plan on taking the car to Robert at AnR and let him have at it

I'm making just a little power with some crappy ol edelbrock 6037's........

Thanks Chris ill shoot you a PM back shortly.

Find some used but clean AFR 165's and spend a few bucks on a custom hydraulic roller cam from FTI (Ed Curtis) .

[X2CRAYZIX]

Thanks for the tip, i was looking into the afr 165,s last night and that sounds like the answer and I will check into the FTI cam today

[thesource]

I'd also have someone do some minor clean up work to the intake and install a 1/2 phenolic spacer . As for fuel pumps , go with a 255 Walbro . It will be plenty big enough down the road and cost about the same as the smaller ones .

[racer99]

Keep the intake valve @ 1.94 on any
except maybe the TWs and be sure
to check piston to valve clearance.


You dont list any exhaust mods.
Have you got aftermarket headers
with that exhaust?

[X2CRAYZIX]

yes it has shorty headers leading into 2.5 pipes with flowmaster muffs and then dumped

[X2CRAYZIX]

oh yea no cats and its o/r h

If that directed to me... thats fine, i was joking around seeing what kicks and giggles i could get, Good luck with your car...

[X2CRAYZIX]

no , i was replying to what racer99 said

[CraZy6]

I have a custom FTI cam 499/499 lift, just a little bigger than an E-cam. $100 shipped. And its a perfect cam if you wanna use a power adder as well. Its just sitting in my garage after I pulled it out of the (1200 miles)306 I bought and I put a X-cam in its place.

If you end up with some AFR's or anything near that in size , do yourself a favor and buy long tubes and matching X pipe .
