Fresh build 306 with GT40P heads and Explorer intake with the Explorer throttle body. I have the choice of either the Ford Racing E or B cam.
It’s a stick and I’m going to change the rear axle gears to probably 3:73. Street only car. So what cam would you all use? Oh, I already own both cams.

If you must pick one, then the E
But the members here can suggest some better choices

Best depends on what you are looking for.

E cam will make low end torque and power above 2500PM. B cam will come on strong above 4000RPM. E cam will be more streetable.
