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

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.

The e303 and cobra rockers would be the best choice 4 power and imo i would go with a better cam like tfs stage 2 and 1.6 rockers for when u do the heads and stuff

I'm in the same boat as Maryland Stang with the B cam and Cobra rockers.

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.
