I don't really like the two you have there, {especially the 252} because they have 110 degree lobe separation {so does the 268 I recommended before I realized you had fuel injection}, which your computer won't keep up with very well. I would think you'd want something more like a 112. Besides, isn't your 302 a roller cam? I'm not recommending Isky cams, but look at this one: PART: 371252257 Camshafts : by Isky Racing Cams Retail Price: $318.74 Our Price: $288.00 Best overall cam for towing. Trucks, Vans, R.

I asked Alex to give us advice, and I know he'd want that info. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip '97 Probe GTS 2.5L DOHC The terrorist may have killed 6,398 Americans, but there are 281,000,000 of us left, and WE'RE PISSED!!!

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 8839 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-01-2001 06:30 PM Hi all, sorry for not being around but we were at Rt.66 in Joliet all week. We did NOT do well either. The only saving grace was Tony won P/SA class. More on that later. Now on to the cam selection. I have had good experiance with both the 260 and 268 CC cams. The31-255-5 is brand new and I have not used or sold one yet. I'm not a big fan of Isky as most of you know. Very high quality but a little behind the times for me. My pick is the Comp 31-213-4 for 67stangs application. Check it out guys. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged
