cam questions

[Superwes98]

im not really looking for radical cam since my car is my DD and i dont mind my mpg right now.
i have a 92 gt with some bolt ons

im looking at this one :
Edelbrock 2122 - Edelbrock Performer-Plus Cam and Lifter Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com and was wandering if anyone has had any experience with it, good or bad, and let me know wat u thought. or even u guys more knowledgeable about cams

dont really like too much lope, i like smooth idle, but i do want a little more power all the way through the power band. just to give u guys a hint of want im looking for


right now my setup is just little stuff: "edelbrock rpm 5.0" intake, pulleys, e-fan, headers, exhaust, full msd, 70mm t/body and spacer, 88mm maf, 30lb injectors, cai, timing advanced OBVIOUSLY lol, 160 t-stat, fpr set at 39-40, 1.72 RR's, smog delete with shorter belt, 130amp alt, and factory option 3.08 gears that will be replaced soon. i also plan on spaying a little in the future every once in a while, nothing major

Do you still run the stock E-7 heads? If so a cam will not show much gain if you are still sporting stock heads.

[Superwes98]

i also plan on getting my stock heads ported

[Iraq&Roll]

Do your research on the heads. The more money you put into the E-7's... the closer you are to some twisted wedge aluminum. It is easy to get caught up in the stock heads. 500 into stock heads is 500 closer to something with more potential.
Just saying and not trying to deter you.

im not puttin 500 into heads either way lol. like i said this is my dd and right now im just looking for 300-350whp dd with decent mpg

i was looking more at havin harold port them if he is still doin it for the same price.

Your an optimist too! Good trait to have in this hobby.

possible believe it or not, has to do with complete setup and gearing and tire height and driving style.
I had a coupe with power heads (ported big valved e7's) with a big cam, edelbrock intake, 3.73, some lightening and a lot of suspension and I drove it from Lakeland to Lake wales for work (about 37 miles) all highway and got around 23 mpg babying it. (about 8 in town LOL)

is that sarcasm or r u serious? lol

[Superwes98]

wow, thats awesome highway lol
im gettin around 21-22 in town and about 24-25 highway right now babying
iv been drivin like a grandpa for the past couple weeks lol

[Iraq&Roll]

No sarcasm at all. N/A 300-350 rwhp with your E-7's with less than 500 dollars worth of work done to them? Not an easy task is what I am saying. Possible but not probable.

Nitrous will get you there and that is undisputed.

The Power Heads CNC'd E-7's mentioned above are 1,110.00 with springs, screw in studs, and guide plates. Then add your 200 dollar core and pay for shipping.

[Superwes98]

oh i gotcha.
well if i can make JUST OVER 300 n/a with wat plan o doin and then spray im not goin to complain. i will then focus on the body and suspension.
id like a good all around car; street, course, and sideways, while looking good in a clean fox im very happy

[Iraq&Roll]

That is what it is all about right there.

[Superwes98]

of course. as long as u like your car, ESPECIALLY if u did everything yourself, and have fun who cares if u loose. i know ill be better than the ricers out there so im all good
