What kind of numbers on this combo?

Thanks George, glad i havent bought the cam yet haha. I was also reading up on that mustang you built. I noticed that you torqued your head studs to 95ft*lb. Would I be ok torquing to the recommended 70ft*lb? Or do you think the head will lift?

Farmtruc, that is simply a rediculous amount of power! You have a video of it?

Now Im a bit confused as to which cam to use though lol.

i'd get someone to spec you out a cam that has a good rep.
That way there is no guessing and you're done; usually costs less than $40.

i did have video... so it'll just be a talked about rumor, lol.

going to recommended number should be fine for modest power but with those chinese studs you will never make it to 95ftlbs with a proper torque wrench..those chinese studs like to snap around 80, ive saw one break on way to 70ftlbs

talk to the cam gurus and go from there

Ya, ill just get the ARP's. Brother is building a 6.0l so he can use the alper head studs anyways.

As for cam i will talk to stock48.


I will update the progress of the engine as it goes along. Although the engine is going into a 63 Acadian lol.

I cant say. Way too many variables to determine if it will work. What are the numbers youre running? How much boost and how much static / dynamic compression?
