I tried searching through google, and here on the forum and corral, im not seeing much about the stage 3 TFS cam.

Anyone running one 302/306/331/347??

My info wont be that much help, but for whats its worth i had one in the 347 in my old 95.

Ran it with twisted wedge heads, 30lbers, and a RPM II intake.

Was never on the dyno. First day out at the track this happened.



I prob have some old videos of the car idling

Bought a complete 347 from a guy and just dropped it in. I obviously got burnt on the deal. Alot of money wasted. I was only 18 at the time too. The balancer with a few inches on the crank still in it rolled about 60 feet from the car

I put maybe 75 street miles on the motor and that happen on my second pass when i hit second gear. First pass i went sideways and let off for a second to run a low 13 at around 115. Wish i could of at least got my time slip car dead hooked on that second pass would of like to seen the 60.

I ran a Stage 3 cam on my old 347. I think I would of been better off with a Stage maybe. My 347 had 10.5 to 1, Avenger heads w/ 2.05 valves,Track Heat intake (switch to 750cfm carb latter). It seem to like the carb set up better. only made 320/360 Hope this helps.

Those numbers are pretty low.

Not sure who to believe on the #s. My engine builder Ford Performance Solutions said the motor was a 400hp and JPC dynoed it and said it made 320/360 to the wheels. I had a mismatched tb/airmeter. They switched my airmeter and installed a 4" power pipe. Never got the new dyno #s they promised! Also when they dyoned the 1st time,was told I had electrical grounding issues to the computer,plus they said my valve train geometery was bad. They replaced the guide plates with adjustables,and replaced the 1.7s rockers with 1.6s. My engine builder said it was a Bunch of B.S!

Sounds like JPC was looking to make some money off you. The little bit of info that i have found, all said around 400RWHP.

I've never heard anything BAD about TFS cams anyway. I was always skeptical about a product sold in "stages" though.
