I just asked this same question a few days ago I am very much in the same situation as you as far as mods go. Many people said I couldnt go wrong with either a b303 or e303 or a trick flow stage 1. They say you should have no problems but you should always check p-v clearance. I really didnt want to pull my heads if I didnt have to.

If you haven't swapped out the stock intake then putting a cam in it is not going to net you much gain. The stock intake is the major restriction on the 5.0 Mustang.

I would swap the stock for an explorer or cobra intake when you do the cam.
