ok.
My car has headers, offroad xpipe, catback, pullies and 4.10 gears.
I also have a upper and lower cobra intake and gt40 heads sitting in my garage as we speak.
The only thing keeping me from installing them is not knowing what cam will make the most of this combo while not being too rough since this is my daily driver (for about 1 more year)
I have a e-303 and was adviced that it will have a funky iddle. will a B303 be any better? should i forget about ford racing all together and get a crane cam or some other brand?
I really doubt i will ever supercharge this car but i might use a 75 shot of nx in the distant future.
So.. what do u guys think?
Thanks a lot.

AGAIN, being that you are swapping heads and intake, CHANGE THE CAM WHILE YOU ARE THERE. You will notice the bennefits much more than if you were just swapping a cam in a stock car.
Plus it sounds better

Keep the stock cam or you will hate the low end. Unless you do a custom cam but then it would be a sort of waste with such a mild combo.
Definatly cheaper and much more daily driver friendly to keep the stock cam.

Call Crane and get a nice mild cam that will compliment your setup.

Jersey, please do not get all the way down to having the heads off and not install a cam ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
TRUST ME, you have not yet and look what's happened, you will really like a mild cam. If you don't get it now, you will want it later. I have a crane 2030 in my 93. If you are at the track tomorrow you can hear it. It's a good cam for my setup, call Crane and get a good one for your setup!
