Ok,Ready to install my first after market cam.The install isnt bothering me but the bad things i have read about the e303 in our 1994-95 302's have.

This bad stuff only came up after i bought the cam and was researching about how too's on cam install(should i have researched )I say yes.

Who has this cam in our years,and was there any issues after install?

The cam looked good on paper and i figured with the heads and supercharger and emmision legal aspect, i was good to go with the 1.6rr i was getting along with a 70mm tb.Untill i seen about the lobe separation issues.

Should i go for it or would i be nuts for getting more lift out of my AFR heads while keeping it all EPA sniffer legal with this cam?

I am hoping this will all put me in the 12 second range before a Dyno tune.

All remarks would be appreciated.

you should be in the 12 second range already. i bet 8 out of 10 (80%) of people who have negative comments about the cam have not used it. the only issue i do occasionally have is on hot starts. really only during the summer. it likes to surge when you first start it but goes away after a few moments. i will be upgrading to an aftermarket radiator before this summer to see if it helps. my car is still on the stock tune, injectors, and maf. do you plan on keep the same injectors with the fmu after the cam or are you upgrading? how much power are you making now?

edit- you should be in the low 12s high 11s already with that kind of combo

I was told my current motor has an e303. It definitely has a cam. The cam idles pretty decent but it moved the powerband up to 2500+ rpm. My low end sucks. But I have an AODE and stock gears. When I get the T5 in there I suspect it will be much better.

If you're using boost, and want to retain an alphabet cam, get an F-cam. It has the LSA and pulls enough vacuum to play very well with boost. A lot of guys succesfully run this cam on turbomustangs.com.

legalize420:Looking to upgrade to bigger injectors and MAF but i will have to get it on the dyno first to see where the A/F ratio is at,no use guessing.

MustangGt95:Low end on this car is WOW without the cam.Cant wait for it.

Black95GTS:Like i said,looking to keep emission legal so the f cam is going to F/me on that.

Thanks for the responses,any more?

Mine will stall every now and then. I just miss the low end the car had back in the day with the stock cam and such. It was nice. I expect a nice new feel with the 5 speed. Especially since my 120k AODE feels strange to say the least.
