and wondering what every one thought would be better for me I have edelbrock performer upper and lower intake 70 mm tb 70 mm mass air equal lengh shorty headers off road h pipe flowmasters stock 19 pound inj going to 24 pound and also bolting powerdyne supercharger on and any suggestions on what cam I should use

I would not do either and definatly not the no name chinese ones. get your self a set of AFR 185's or Trick Flow Twisted Wedge 170's

The 1st set is junk Pro comp head set up for hydraulic flat tappet cam, not roller like you have.
The 2nd is a decent head but that price is for 1 not both.
Trick flow, RHS, an older set of canfields would be great for you. My suggestion is always the same though. Instead of just bolting on random parts that will most likely work against each other, get a plan together of what you want out of it, a budget that you just cannot go over but are ready to spend, and then it will be easier to help you.

what cam would you guys recomend for setup I have now have stock heads only thing done to them was good brass guides were put in and I think good seals

 

[EHA Racing]

For the set up you have now leave the stock cam and put some 1.7 ratio rockers on it. Then you won't have to mess around with a tune. Anything bigger would be pointless because it won't work if you add a blower, heads, etc.....
You would be surprised at how much power can be made with a stock H.O. cam. It's really a decent piece if you put the 1.7's on it.

 

[Jstang88]

so I can just get rid of the stock roller tips and put the 1.7 roller rockers in

I've always been of the mindset that mixing and matching parts simply doesn't work out to be the best optimum performance package.
You say you have an Edelbrock intake so why not contact them and see what they offer that will match what you already have?
I used to go through the same frustration when I was building bowtie motors. I finally learned that alot of manufacturers have complete combos that compliment eachother and give you the best bang for the buck.
Maybe I'm way off base here with the mighty Blue Oval powerplants, but I would think the same principles apply. Am I wrong in this thinking?

Gotta say I like the Edelbrock heads!!! ...I ran them on my old 1991 Mustang GT (60229 heads - 1.90 x1.60) mildly ported...Edelbrock heads have always been high quality IMO!

I bought a set of the pro comps and they've been GREAT. I would call the seller and specify hydraulic roller. they are available for about the same price. The deck thickness on the pro comps are pretty thick. I've put a 200 shot of spray on my 5.0 with those heads and they've stood up nicely. If i'm not mistaken, i think pro comps are Australian heads.

Edelbrock out of the 2, I ran 11's with a tiny Kenne Bell 1.5L with stock cam and 1.7's with some of the Performer heads untouched. My friend had some ported 6037 heads 1.90/1.60 and ran 10.81@126.7 with a small Ultradyne cam, 1.72 rockers, ported GT40 lower and a Cartech upper. He had a Powerdyne seeing around 8lbs.

I know for a fact they worked awesome with just the stock cam and 1.7 rockers, especially with boost.

 

[dsblk93gt]

BTW, my friend ran the complete Edelbrock setup, Performer intake/Performer cam (E303), 1.72 rockers, Performer heads and ran 12.52@112 in his 94 GT NA, untuned with 24lbers and a 73mm C&L. Later after dropping weight he managed to get down to a 12.2@114 still na and with this "so-so" Edelbrock combo. He beat a 94/95 GT at the track repeatedly that has the complete TFS kit on his car.

 

[Jstang88]

I was planning on getting them bare and haveing my good friend who owns one of the speed shops here build them with all good valves and guides not any off that cheap shit he builds and sells a llot of them

please dont compare car to car. drivers play a big role.

for a real simplistic way of doing it on budget get 1 of the packages but it wont be the best thing you can throw on.

piecing shit out could work out well however you need to do your hw.
in my eyes id save money and go custom cam and get ci , fti, foxlake,tea to design a set up.

OK, but look at the fastest times for H/C/I SN95 5.0 cars the one with AFR185 heads and custom cam was not that much faster.....

not that much faster? either way it WAS faster. in this sport the faster person wins... plus with a bigger head you will be better off for the future if you step up ur game.

If I had the budget, thats what I would do. Sadly I have 1/10th the money most guys do but it make up for it in other places (driving mostly).

I had fox lake ported TFS heads on my 331 and they are awesome pieces. That or TEA ported TFS heads are hard to beat.

My friend Karl ran 11.5@119 in a light 91 GT with home ported TFS heads/Victor Jr./ and WG-1087 cam I think. All home built 306 in his garage. Back then custom cams were not common (early 90's).

I don't think tossing a mis-match of parts on is worth it.

And FYI....Jay Allen said the best OTS cam is a WG-1087.
