WHAT WOULD BE BETTER IN A 87-93 5.0 MOTOR A E-303 CAM WITH 1.6 ROCKERS OR A B-CAM WITH COBRA ROCKERS. THE CAR HAS A 4.10 GEAR AND FULL EXHUST AND SOON HEADS AND INTAKE JUST CURIOUS
 
WHAT IS WITH ALL THE CAPS????

cam selection depends on what the car is going to be used for. need more info befre you will get any serious answers in here.
 
I really like my B cam with Cobra rockers but I don't recommend it for stop and go traffic the way mine is setup. I advanced the cam 4 degrees and set the RR really loose. It lost a lot of low end torque but makes tons of power up top. I have to ride the clutch about twice as far to get the car going from a dead stop as I did with the stock cam or it will buck. I could also idle along with the stock cam but it will buck and stall out if I try to move the car under 1400 RPM.

Like stykthyn said above, it's all in what you want. I'm not worried about low end drivability.
 
or what about like a trick flow stage 1 or a f-cam, the car is going to be used about 50/50 street and strip, the heads i plan on using are trick flow twisted wedge and a professional products intake
 
I have the TFS1 and I love it, but I kind of wish I had stuck with the stock HO cam as I dont see myself racing as much as I was hoping too. TFS1 screams up top and low end is ok, but it lacks that off idle punch that was there with the stock cam.
