I know, I know, it's been covered a million times, and I've searched but I just want a straight up answer. I am building up a mostly stock motor for my 95' mustang that has a 88' engine in it. The one that's in there right now is worn out and starting to show leaks.

The new motor will probably have a trickflow upper and lower street intake, bigger throttle body, roller rockers, headers/flowmasters/h-pipe and whatever else I come upon. It will have stock heads for awhile until I can afford a nice set. In the future I plan to put some boost to it along with bigger injectors and other supporting mods. What I'm looking for is a good cam to put in the motor right now that will suit my needs. Any suggestions? And PLEASE post a link to it if possible. I don't want TOOOO rough of an idle but one that still gives me that nice rumble. Also what else will I need as far as valve springs/pushrods, etc. for this new cam? Thanks a lot!

Also, by the time this new motor is in, the car will have 3.73 gears if that matters at all about when the power will kick in.

That's exactly the one I was thinking. Just wanted to see if anyone else thought the same. Any other suggestions from anyone?

Can someone link me to the cheapest place that carries those? Also, are the stage 1's just the STREET series cam, and the stage 2's are the track heat series?

save the cash for a better heads..the stock cam is a great pc in my opinion with the stock heads. You may end up with a nice lumpy idle..you may end up with a slower car that won't idle for a damn that just isn't fun to drive. Every car/computer takes to cam changes differently and your taking a crap shoot for a lumpy idle and 10 hp.

Hmm, ok. This motor that I tore apart was one I bought awhile ago just to rebuild it, is there anyway to make sure the stock cam is ok? Just look it over I guess? I'm probably going to buy new roller lifters for it, along with new springs/pushrods and roller rockers.
