The best cam for me?

1990StangGT · Feb 15, 2006

I purchased a 91 LX 5.0 5 spd. I just ordered MSD distributor,cap,wires,CAI,headers,catted h pipe,cat back, underdrives,and thats it for now. I would like to add a throttle body,and upper/lower intake as well as a good cam and heads. But for now I think the cam will be the next purchase. This will be a daily driver so I want somthing with a decently stock style idle and somthing that isnt too exotic if at all, just one to make good power. Should I go for the b303? Will this cam even make a big difference or should I add heads/intake first, and if i dont will the cam work with my stock heads and intake? Any help I would appreciate thanks.

Oh yea, does anyone also know where I can get the hurst shifter that comes with the boot that replaces the whole stock boot and has a hurst logo on the new piece with the chrome handle and white knob? Not really relivant just saw this in a 5.0 at car show and want to know where to get one. Thanks.

abour the cam. i would save and get the head first then u can get the cam. i would say go with a custom cam to get maximun performance and still have the idle u want.

I think the heads are the most major mod. i would save and buy the heads first and build what will work best for them. there are plenty more people on here that know more ten me. this is just my .02

This is the labor efficient way to go.I would (and personally did)forget about a cam until you get heads and an intake.

The HO is the best piece out of the three. I would change it all at once. Or if you feel you just have to do something, get an intake now and then change the heads and cam together. The B cam is too much for the stock stuff.IMO.

I'd go one part at a time. I'd go intake first, then heads, then cam. The heads you want to go with should determine the intake and cam, not any other way around, and I suggest a custom cam to ensure no unused power is left on the table with your intake and head setup.

So would a cobra intake work alright with my stock heads and cam? I was thinking typhoon but the cobra is like 30 bucks more on ebay and am sure it flows better. Maybe recommend some heads and cam to go with this intake somthing mild not exotic?

JBeezy53 · Feb 17, 2006

The cobra will work best with the stock heads and cam. The typhoon will outflow the Cobra, its a copy cat to the edelbrock RPM manifold, just needs a little cleaning up with a dremel. Cobra is a good manifold but doesn't pull past 5500 rpm really. Good low end.

1990StangGT · Feb 17, 2006

Really thats what I am looking for. Good low end horse power and torque. So the cobra it is. What would be a good set of heads and cam for the cobra?

1990StangGT · Feb 17, 2006

anyone?

I am going with the E cam and Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake & 1.7 rockers in my current project. I am all about 0-60mph. I just pulled out the B303 cam the previous owner put in there 500 miles ago if you want that let me know in a PM.

I'd say the Cobra intake is the best aftermarket intake for stock heads and cam. I'd go Y303s and a custom cam with a Cobra intake and lowend.

1990StangGT · Feb 17, 2006

Where would be the best place to get my custom cam?
