So will this cam pass smog??

[0XYM0R0N29]

@PuthyCoupe yep, passes way under the limit

[PuthyCoupe]

What do u thinks better a fordracing x303 cam or the TFS cam u have?

[0XYM0R0N29]

@PuthyCoupe can't really answer that, all depends what you want from the car. that being said, the X is a lot more aggressive and has a lot higher lift, so power band will be up high and piston-valve clearance will likely be an issue with aftermarket heads. this is a mid range cam more suitable for the street more simialr to an E cam

What's it like to drive that cam on the street? I have a set of TW 170s and an Eddy Performer intake ready to bolt on but I can't decide on a cam for my 5spd daily driver with 3.08 gears. I saw the TFS-1 was rated for 2,000+. What's it like below that RPM? How is it in traffic?

[0XYM0R0N29]

@vestpocket it's a great cam for the street, not a problem at all for emissions or traffic. a stage 1 cam is TFS's street cam (mid range power band), stage 2/3 is more high RPM and not as well suited for street applications. about as much lift as you'd want in a NA street application IMO.

@0XYM0R0N29 i have stock heads anyways but i think ima go with the trickflow cam....sounds way better than an x cam
