Does anyone know what the cam specs are on a 87 GT with speed density...VS the MAF cars i heard the cams were better maybe bigger on the speed density cars any truth to this?...Stock rockers are what 1.5's or 1.6's and if they were 1.5's going to 1.6's will help?...

Pretty sure they were the same. Stock rockers are 1.6, you can go to 1.7 if you wanted to add 0.030" lift at the valve.
