    That's the same cam I have in my car. It sounds nice and has good manners, but won't make any power above 5800 rpm. I have Twisted Wedge 205 heads as well. It's a good cam for my combo due to the stock block, but Pete's cam is what you want to go with on those AFR 185 heads, his car drives nice and is a beast.

    Yea i kno i only have e7 heads with a 3angle and good springs but there will be little use after 5500rpm anyways so plan on shifting it at 5500 maybe 5700

    Yeah, exactly. It's a perfect street cam IMO. It was in my car when I bought it when it was NA, and when I added the heads and blower I decided to stick with it as it keeps the power and rpms down on my combo otherwise the block would have split a long time ago.

    Thanks Brian. LOL! Sometimes the driver mod malfunctions. LOL! Actually, it malfunctions quite a bit! On a side note, I wasn't aware that you had the N-91 in your motor. Did you ever get to drive it with the TW 205 heads on it but not with the blower? I bet in N/A form it would have been in the 12's easily.

    Haha, hey, we all make mistakes at the track. It takes time and practice, and most guys don't have the time to dedicate to it to really get the good times from their cars, so I thought you ran awesome times with your car considering you only go to the track once or twice a year ( then again your a pretty well seasoned driver) . That thing is a beast, way faster than it was with the 306. I never had the N-91, rather I've always had the TFS Stage 1 "baby" cam in my car. The small cam is good with the blower and a stock lower end otherwise it would go "poof". You need the N-91 in yours for the extra cubes and it works VERY well.

    Been a while since I posted here, but after stripping down my 331 for a freshen up after 4 years or running mid 10 second 1/4 mile passes, we discovered several cracks between the cam bearing bores and the main cap bolt holes. This was a stock hyd, roller block from a EFI 5.0 Mustang. An aftermarket block is not in the budget at this time, so we are going with a 1974 302 block. Unlike the 5.0 block, the 74 has blind main cap holes, where some of the 5.0 block main bolt holes were open to the crankcase. The 74 block also has blind head bolt holes, the bolts were open to the water jackets on the 5.0 block. We are also adding a Probe main support girdle, so hopefully the new block will hang in there for a few more seasons of racing.

    How high did you wind it? Was it in a stickshift car (was trying to read your signature but wasn't sure)? Did you happen to notice any change in oil pressure before you tore it down?
    It's too bad all these little motors are on borrowed time, once you cross over into 10 second territory (but we're all doing it anyway).
    Best of luck. BTW- Merry Christmas too!

    Yes, its a 4 speed Jerico, normally dump the clutch between 5600-6200 RPM, shift at 6800 RPM, on a fast pass, its hits 7200 RPM thru the traps. I never noticed any oil pressure issues, the car did slow down a tad this year, but since I hadn`t touched the engine in 4 seasons, I suspect that it was simply getting a little tired, which is why we tore it down, for a freshen up. Also, when the front main cap was unbolted,it came off in 2 pieces! If we didn`t have that one rain out towards the end of the season, it likely would have dumped its guts all over the track at the last race. I had considered installing a bigger cam during the rebuild, but it seems that I am already pushing my luck with the stock blocks. so I will have to be content the 485 HP that it made on the dyno 5 years ago. I plan to swap out the FE 427 in my Fairmont for the 331 for 2016, I think the Fairmont should run 10.1 or 10.2 ETs with the small block, so it should still be fun.

    With 125 MPH, you should be solidly in the 10s if you get the car to hook up!

    Yeah that's what I'm trying for this spring need to put on new adjustable rear upper and lower control arms. And actually launch the car, didn't wanna hook hard at the track anyways due to all stock rear end, didn't wanna snap an axle. Upgrading the rear before spring too

    Looking at ur sig ur 60' times are awesome. Need to get my car to hook like that lol
