I've searched high and low on search and all over the internet. I've got a roller 302 out of at 98 explorer with gt40p heads edelbrock performer rpm and 600 carb. I have seen some guys here running explorer cam and mustang HO cams. Is anyone else running any beefier cams. I already have beehive springs and just looking for a little better cam instead of the stocker. It is auto c6 and most call for a higher stall. If anyone is running a hotter cam, what stall are you running? Truck is going in a 76 F100 2wd swb. Thanks in advance.

 

What is your definition of a "better cam"? What are you looking for from the motor that the stock F4TE Explorer cam isn't giving you?

 

The Explorer cam is going to give you the best performance in that application (C6 in a comparatively heavy truck) Especially considering the rear gear ratio and tire diameter you've likely got now. The Explorer cam specs out like this: 256/266 advertised duration (not the @.050 spec) lift is .422/.445(int/exh) LSA is 116*. This cam gives you the best bottomend to midrange to get that truck moving off the line. A set of 1.7 full roller pedestal rockers will give it another 10-15 hp and get the lift specs up to the what the HO cam had with 1.6's. More cam will move the powerband up, leaving you with a weaker bottomend, which will hurt the streetability off the line.
