yeah. I rebuilt my 306 a couple of months ago. Since then I have changed out my intake manifold, and about to change my cam maybe. SOO think it through step for step if not you will be unhappy with your setup like me.

Well I had both the B and F cams. I liked them both but the B cam on sooner. The F cam last in the rpm range longer up high. I honestly say stock heads B cam and aftermarket heads F cam.

BTW- I have a F cam with less than 1,000 miles for $135

I currently have the b303 in one of my cars and I can't complain. Runs strong with my combo and I don't regret using it. My car has a damn nice powerband. I'm sick of others always preaching the the alphabetic cams suck blah blah blah........

I don't like any of the Alphabet grinds. A custom or even off the shelf dual pattern grind is a better choice all the way around, any day of the week. They may cost a few dollars more than the "cookie cutter" Ford Bump sticks, but if you're going to spend money any place within your engine, that's the place to do it.

A custom cam might be better but I honestly don't think $100 plus better if your on a limited budget.

Ford stopped making the 5.0 motor in the mustang over 10 years ago. They still make the B, E, F, X, and Z cams. Why? Because they work and they work great. Most custom cams you will have to dish the pistons. You don't have to with B,E, or even the F cam.

I understand custom cams are better but he was asking about the Ford cams. Help him out instead of changing the thread.

I like the E cam on a fairly stock motor. Probably wont gain any real power over the stock one on that combo but they sure do sound cool. If you decide to go with a B cam and happen to have an automatic, you will want a pretty loose stall but the E would be better for an auto anyway. You might also consider the TFS stage 1. I have heard alot of poeple really like that one and its cheaper than the FMS cams.
