I have a 91 5.0 with AFR 165's, 70mm TB, 73mm MAS and 24#'ders.The rest of the engine is stock, AOD has Trans GO kit and 3.55 gears. What is better to do, jump up to 1.7 Rockers and leave the stock cam, or get a new cam. I can only do one or the other for now. (By better I mean that I don't plan to pull any "official" 1/4's and the car is more or less for cruzin with a little fun from stop light to stop light.) I plan to drive this car on a few road trips each summer.

If you say cam... what lift and duration? Cam choices? I am stuck please help.
