Cam
What would be the best choice of cam for my 1989 Lx 5.0? I would like some more power in the upper rpm range 3-5000. And a little rougher idle, kinda like the old muscle cars if you know what i mean, kinda choppy. Its only a stock 5.0, I was also looking into other upgrades, cheaper preferably as i am a full time student, but also work 40 hours a week still.

A custom cam would be best, but the Ford Racing letter cams are decent for the price, if you need an emission legal cam, go with an E-303, sounds great and give more top-end power. You will of course be limited by the stock intake and heads and they should be changed first.
|
Okay thanks, any suggestions for the intake?
|
Trick-Flow, Holley, GT-40, Cobra, Edelbrock, there's a lot to choose from.

I would have to agree with ponyryd. an e cam is a great cam . I just put one im and it sounds great . and they are a great blower cam.. Mind you a custom ground cam is better but for the cost nothin better

holley systemax intake with a steeda #19 cam and some nice heads to to pher off

I Have had no Problems using a ford racing B cam with a complete stock engine Only noticed a differant sound though.

Installing a cam without any other modifications will offer minimal gains.
I always recommend doing H/C/I at the same time. |
