best thing to do is phone comp cams tech line. Or phone lunati's tech line. they will set you up with a cam that will get close to the most out of your combo. If you don't want to do that find a custom grind shop and give them your combo. find a good shop. then you will have a cam set up specifically for your combo and it will have the power band set up for your style of driving.

a 5.0L H.O. cam and a 351w cam are the same. The 5L and the 351w share the same firing order. I'm pretty sure on this but if anyone else has some info feel free to chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.
