now my plans r to make more power and i dont really care how bad it will be on fuel mileage so any help would be appreciated cause im not very good at lookin at cam profiles and seeing wut is good and bad

what is your compression ratio and where do you want the power?

 

[Mustang Boy]

im not sure wut my compression ratio is but i know its above 9.0:1 cause it was like 8.8:1 stock and i had the head milled and i put bigger valves in


and for the power i want it to be in the upper end but i also want som good low end power

are you running an automatic transmission? If so, these may be too much cam. I am running a C4 with a Clifford 272 and have had problems. At the very least, a higher stall torque converter may be needed.

I just purchased a 264 cam from Classic inlines and am going to cam down.

Did you read up on some of Mike's tech articles? This may help you decide:
