WELL, HERE IT GOES!!! I'm trying to pick out a cam for my 1990 5.0/T5 with 30K miles. Current mods include 3.73 gears, msd ignition system, comp powerbox upper manifold, mac headers, o/r h-pipe, flowmaster cat-back, underdrive pullies, and cold air. The guy at comp cams recommended the XE264, but the powerband for that cam is 1,500-5,500. I want something a bit more radical for strong mid and top end. A cam with a powerband of 2,000-6,000. I don't mind losing a small amount of low end because I mostly mess with people when I'm out on the interstate...lol. I plan on keeping stock heads and stock pistons for now. I am willing to change the valve springs. WHAT CAM WOULD YOU GUYS RECOMMEND!?
 
call summit or comp cam back and tell them what power range you want and they can help you out. id go with a comp cam or trick flow. letter cams can still be good to like a f303 is a really good all around cam.
 
I will be upgrading the manifold later when I get heads. I'd just like to go ahead and get the cam in so I can play around some more...lol. I will have to use pedestal mounted rockers for the stock head though right? Also, what about the valvesprings?
