I would LOVE Twisted Wedge heads,but for now,NOT in the budget.After buying everything I've bought in the last 2 months,my budget is wicked small.I'll probably end just selling the cam and stashing the money away for other projects.



Can't swing the trickflows either? Same for me.
You could do some simple porting to the e7's. Labor is "free" if you do it yourself. That explorer intake probably didn't kill bottom end much over stock. If it did it may have made up for it in the midrange.
The e303 would probably do the same. It would probably work great with that explorer and pypes exhaust system. Your set up. The only way I may not try that FREE cam is if I stayed speed density. It can't hurt to try it 1st. Then you know for certain to keep it or sell it.

 
 E303 cam per Fordmotorsports SVO:
 Good idle quality, Excellent low and midrange power. Power through 6000rpm. Emissions legal with 5speed manual trans (E.O. #D-225-16)
Works good with automatic transmission. Great for superchargers.
Peak torque@2500rpm  peak bhp@5500rpm.

Just looked at the Summit site. The TFS Twisted Wedge heads shown are for stud mount rockers. I already have a set of pedestal rockers. Are Twisted Wedge available for pedestal rockers? What do you suggest otherwise?

No they are not available in pedestal.  Thumper heads are a good option:  http://www.thumperoforangepark.com/ They have a head/cam combo that includes a double roller timing chain with 9 position keyway far cam advance/retard for $995.

Cool, I'm anxious for the results. Right now work is busy, so you might get done before me. Either way we could compare specs and see if they are similar.

That thumper website sure was interesting. Getting back to E6's deeper valve setting allowing greater valve lift (1.7 rockers), with SO pistons, has anyone tried to port E6's for as good or better flow than stock E7s?
