after talking to some of you guys about my car i was going to get started on susp. to help hook.

BUT.....
i was on my local craigslist and found a used F-303 cam. looks like the guy is selling it pretty cheap. if i could get a good deal on it.(say $60 to 80$ range)
Would it be worth putting on my stang.?
i don't plain on running this f cam forever just till i save and do a h/c/i package and also supporting mods like t.b. and mas air, and that may be 1.5 to 2 years.

Right now the combo is ford racing headers, off road h-pipe, flow-master cat-back, 3.73 gears, and a vortech v3 sci running 6 psi about 4 psi here at my elevation.

Im no expert but the F303 cam is what I have and is supposed to be a very good "off the shelf" cam for boosted applications. Most guys will tell you to go custom & I will probably upgrade when I do the DART 363 block years from now too. If you can get it cheap, I would say go for it. It will be an improvement over a stock cam I would think.

With stock heads and intake I wouldn't.. Yes it will sound better but prob will not help you much because you are trying to suck more air through an already restricted setup..

I would wait to do the cam for when you do the H/C/I then pick something that works with your combo.

FWIW, I ran an Fcam for several years and I liked it.
