isnt the steeda 19 a blower grind? i could be thinking of the wrong cam, but iirc youd be alot better off with a tfs s1 on a na motor

 

Yes it is a blower cam. (or so Steeda says) I plan on boost or spray in the near future (after motor gets in the car) just have not made up my mind.

 

I have a 19 in a 347..Supercharged 14#'s boost....1.33 - 1.40 60' times 140mph in 1/4 & 9.70..U have 2 be the judge!!!

I was wondering how well it preformed and if it is a good cam? Just looking at the specs it looks close to the Trick Flow stage 1 if you put 1.7's on it.

I did a search about it and really only found one person who didn't care for it. said it was weak down low. Is it weak down low NA?

I have one. 302 N/A, 6037's, 1.7s, 3.73. It's ok by me, maybe a tad soft everywhere (the torque curve feels Kansas-flat all the way to redline). I never noticed a dramatic absence of low-end. I'm still dialing it in and suspect that it needs more compression. I installed it 4* retarded which may have been a mistake.
There's an interesting thread about it on Stangnet right now, and I believe TMoss has some dyno results on his web site.

What are the other parts of the build? Heads? Gear? Don't expect miracles from the cam if it's a vert with 2.73 gears and stock heads. >

 

According to Steeda you're suppose to install it straight up not retarded or advanced. I installed that cam in my car & I called them up for the info, maybe that's why your torque curve feels flat.

 

I already have the motor together I just dont want to be disappointed and have to go change it.

Twisted Wedge heads, Steeda #19, ported Cobra lower, 1.7's. 3.73 gear AODE

 

Be sure to measure/set lifter preload; I had to go up to 6.300" pushrods.
I'm currently removing my heads to mill them, to be compatible with that cam.
You might be happier with a 2031...?

 

I have the intention of power adder in 6 moths or so. I think the cam would take nicely to spray.

Yeah I had to measure everything because my heads were shaved and the deck on the block was cut to 0.

There is a compairson graph up on stangnet now of Trick FLow Stage 1 and the Steeda #19. I didn't think the steeda did to bad.

 

My buddy has a #19 in his SN-95, N/A with Y-303 heads, TFS intake, ect... 3.73 gears

It seems to run pretty good with absolutely fantastic throttle response and good low and mid range torque. It also is a great cam for the computer issues that haunt the SN-95's

 

That's encouraging. My son is getting ready to install a Steeda #18 cam in his N/A carbed 85GT. The #18 is the same identical cam as the #19 except the #18 has a lobe sep. of 112 and the #19 has a lobe sep. of 115. The wider sep is what makes the #19 get along with the 94-95 computers. We thought the tighter 112 sep of the #18 might be better for a non-computered carbed 5.0. He's using 1.7 rocker also so the lift will be .510/.510

 

I wouldnt run 1.7s with anything over a stock cam

 

why?

 

I think the wide LSA is the primary factor for it being flat, which is not the same as being soft. I have a 110 LSA cam in my Ranger and it has a very different character: Very good in a narrow range. In that regard, I like the #19. It's easy to drive.
Also look at Final5-0's comparison.

Yes, I need to either reset mine or bring the compression up to compensate for the late intake closing. I'm doing the latter first and the heads are sitting here on the floor waiting to be milled. :evilgrin:

 

The #19 with 1.7 rockers and Trickflow heads will work well in a SN95.
The EEC will love the 115 LSA.

 

I only hear good things about this cam..I will be in the future using P-heads port matched with explorer intake and with a Steeda 19, recommendations on roller rockers, etc..

 

I myself and quite a few other people are running 1.7 rr's. Since you have ped mount heads I would look into Ford Racing Cobra 1.7's.

What part of East TN you from?

 

Knoxville area..got this car down in Rock Spring GA actually..I see your in Ringgold GA..

 

The specs of the Steeda cam make it perfect to use with the cobra 1.7's. You get a modest .510"/.510" with them. When you add 1.7's to most cams, you end up with huge lift and possible piston to valve concerns.

 

If he has ptv problems I will eat my hat but all way check NO MATTER WHAT!

Heck I have 0 deck block with .08 shaved off my Twisted Wedge heads and no problems lol

Rock Springs I am about 10 miles form there

 

Anyone know the actual limit you can mill off of a set of GT40 irons or "P"s? I assume if you get the deck too thin, you run the risk of blowing head gaskets.
