my 'E' cam is awesome and I couldn't really ask for a better performing cam off the shelf I have a "S" trim pushing 10/11psi and the car is evil with the mods that I have done.

Go with an F cam. You will fall in love with the sound and it adds great highend power

My friend has a blower and an E cam. On the dyno, the cam stopped producing power after 4500 RPMs. He said he wished that he went with a little heavier cam, but I have to agree that I've heard the E cam being the most blower friendly cam from FMS

The E cam is pretty popular -- the same as the Edelbrock cam and Crane markets it under one of their numbers as well. Not a bad cam.

I have to pass smog testing so that was the reason I chose the E cam. Not really up on these things however I don't know if you could get through smog testing with anything "bigger." Anybody have any thoughts on this ?

I believe that your right about a e cam falling off sooner than we would like it too,but I also believe it's how efficiant the motor is and what rocker size you go with.I used the 1.73tfs rr's and this thing makes power all the way to 5700,obviously the more off set the rocker has the more valve opening to increase lower end torque but it also increases the cam spec to nearly an f with with the increase offset.I believe my total stack height or lift is 536/534.

Does anyone know the stock rocker ratio on a stock 5.0? Also, can you run an E 303 cam with 1.7 rollers?? Any help is greatly appreciated!
