E cam with TFS CNC'd heads? There are many different cam choices out there that would make more power and retain driveablilty. Is this a 302 c.i.d. application?

I used to have a 85 Capri RS with the stock bottom end and a set of ported stock cast heads from power heads, "B" cam 1.7 rockers full mac exhaust and the stock 2.73's in the 7.5 rear. My friend had a 84 GT with a roller motor (90) twisted wedge heads, "F" cam and 1.6 rockers and 3.73's in a 8.8. My car would run 12.7 @115 to his 13.3 @ 106 (we even switched cars and got similar results).

if those heads have 2.02 or bigger valves you better use 1.6, the 1.7s may cause the valve to hit a piston... the stock piston eyebrows are cut for 1.87 valves

Ya I think I'm going to stay with the 1.6's. I've had really good luck with Pro Magniums rr and I'd like to stay with them. The guy I sold my old AFR 185's to, said he still had my old magniums and may trade me them back :)

The B-Cam is a strong cam, but I heard it was no good with nitrous, just somthing i read on another site

I know another cam would be better, but for now the e-cam will be fine for the power limitations of the stock block. Yes it is currently 302ci application with a 150hp shot of nitrous on her. This motor already ran good with AFR 185's her and I'd like to see how the trick flow heads work.

Did you have the pistons flycut when the AFR 185's were employed? I have heard the stock HR cam can provide enough P-V clearance. Altering the valve events, ala custom cam, is also a viable choice for AFR 185 headed 302 oem shortblocks.

OOTB T.W.'s?

That is correct we ran the AFR 185 for over a season on a stock short block with stock pistons, an F cam, and 1.6rr. It was a strong combo that ran great with a 100hp shot of nitrous.

Correct as in no flycutting needed or correct as in flycutting was necessary?
