cams....

Yea i know this is a mustang site but figured some people might have some input. I'm looking to do a cam only on my car right now has 3k stall, 3.23's, true duals, ported t/b, lid. I'm looking to do cam only and spray the car with a 125 wet shot (tnt f1 kit). For now i'm just going to run cam only until i get my tax return check then thats when the spray will come in.
So which cam
237/242 .603/.609 112 lsa (ms3)
239/242 .649/.609 112 lsa (ms4)
232/234 .595/.598 112 lsa (torquer 2)
230/236 .592/.602 112 lsa(thunder racing cam)
234/242 .600/.610 112 lsa (g5x3)
230/227 .591/.571 112 lsa (mti x1)
228/232 .588/.575 112 lsa (mti g1)
232-234-112lsa+0 xer lobes (not sure of lift)
232/234 .598/.610 112 lsa

i really like the idea behind the mti x1. I think the reverse split would work well. You can port heads so much but the intake still restricts the flow. Now you put a very good flowing exhaust behind something that leaves the valve open a little longer for more air and i think that would be a killer combo. From what i've seen and talking with mti this cam is a mid range tq monster. What do you guys think?

7'4 chromoly pushrods, comp 918's new series good up to a .650 lift, mti x1 cam for 599 shipped. If i do the over a 600 lift i plan on going to double springs

All of those cams are very similiar.

If you are intending to run NOS and have a full length exhaust system, use a cam with 4-8 degrees more on the exhaust.

All of the lifts are so close it wont make much difference. In running a cam with more intake lift, most do it when the heads flow 80% or more exhaust to intake flow. In the higher lifts its easier to get higher ratio rockers for the intake.

3.23's will be really testing that converter, good luck!

I had a comp cam close to the X1, (228/232 .579 .579 @ 112 lsa) and it was a pretty good little cam. My car put down 412rwhp/396ft lb. It's not a lot but it pulled pretty good on the street. My buddy has an X1 in his 99 M6 Z and it runs pretty good. I'd look into gears/stall before a cam. You're car will be night and day with these simple addations.

p.s. I killed a set of 918's so you might want to look into 921's just to be on the safe side.
