Extra power came through better inlet and maf..

Cheers, could i get away with using a cam that has got 14 thou more lift than a stock cam with my 1.7 roller rockers,?
Im looking at either a 621339 or 621338 crow cam
The 621339 has .455 lift
the 621338 has .458 lift
I honestly wouldnt have any idea about how much clearance is between the valves and the piston, i thought i might be ok if i didnt get a cam with much more lift than stock just a bit more duration.

A general rule of thumb is .500" but cam timing has something to do with it too.
As an example an F303 cam is the largest Ford racing cam you can use without piston to valve issues.
It has .512" lift and 228 degrees @ .050" so substantially larger than what you're looking at.

I have heard that 1.7 roller rockers add roughly 40 thou to valve lift, is this correct?
If it is then i should be ok because total lift should be .498 if i use the .458 lift cam.

.444" / 1.6 = .2775" cam lift
.2775" x 1.7 = .471 Valve lift

Both those cams are the Ford 200kw and 220kw cams.
Usually if lift figures are around the .500 mark, with 1.6's, adding 1.7's will up lift by about .030".
My 2040(E-303) has .498" for 1.6's, with my 1.7's it makes it .529".
Have you considered that cam? Proofs in the pudding as far as valve clearance goes as i'm using it and 1.7's with std pistons.


Oh, and im sure the AU 175kw cam is worse than the std HO cam, they are absolutely shocking. The missus car sucked with the 175kw, no with the 220kw engine, you can REALLY feel the difference in the cam.

Oh so the smaller one is the 220 cam.
I thought about a bigger cam but im keeping the ecu stock and i dont want my trans to die from making too much grunt :( that is my main consideration.(sounds weird but thats me)

Go the 621338 with your 1.7's.
That'll be ECU friendly for sure.
If only you had 1.6's, i'd suggest using the Crane 2020.

Yeah thanks Jeff, i know i would regret using the stock cam fully knowing theres a bit more power to be had :D
I realise that if put a bigger cam in and got it tuned it would make good power(plenty enough to blow my trans) but i spent all my tune money buying the au motor to start with :( good things take time and i can wait.
