[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 4126250, member: 6221"] IMHO there are better cams than an Ed Curtis cam..... His are alright for a "class" car or drag only car. When it comes to streetability his cams pretty much suck. Curtis cams always seems to have a power range of 4K-7k rpms which makes street driving not so fun. You def. need a rev limiter. The factory Ford limiter cuts out fuel at 6200rpms which will kill a motor quickly especially a s/c one. Get a tune that eliminates or raise the fatctory limiter then set the MSD one several hundred rpms below it. The MSD rev limiter will limit spark on every other cylinder instead of cutting out fuel. I would check for a blown head gasket first. The ticking could just be antifreeze/water seeping into the cylinder causing a misfire and lost compression. [/QUOTE]
