Ok so I know some don't like this cam but I had a new one sitting in the shelf so I'm going to use it. F303 - 288 duration and .512 lift, I have already ordered a set of ford racing valve springs and will get them installed when I do the cam. I will also be replacing the timing chain while in there along with what ever else I find. This cam should work great with my setup and give a noticeable increase.

I'll post more on it as I get it going and done, I can say ford says this cam will not work with the explorer ecm. Glad mines gone!
 






Very cool project! To bad its not a drag truck lol............
 






I've heard a ton of good things about this cam. The turbo guys say it's an awesome turbo cam also. I'm betting you will be really happy with it. If you wanted, you could get fancy and advance it 4 degrees (as long as your installing a new timing chain and gears anyway) for more low end. I've read of great success with this on heavier vehicles.

Doesn't seem to be too many left on this forum willing to try this stuff. I'm looking forward to the install and results.
