      Take the descriptions of the FMS alphabet cams with a grain of salt......... They have a 2,800-3,200lb Mustang with a stick in it in mind when they make those recommendations......
      where does the E cam quit pulling?

            well most cams that kick in at 2500 seem to rev over 6k easy. so id say itd go to 6500 roughly. but im guessing.

              if you're running stock valve springs, it will most likely valve float before the cam completely runs out. 5500 is the advertised top end for an E, and that sounds about right. Stock springs will probably float in the 5500-6000 range, and the stock rev limiter is 6250, so you're not getting past that anyway.

                    Yup. I have one for my Capri. Couldn't justify the expense on the Townie though. It's not a race car.......

                        Same springs. They are awful.

                        TFS makes a spring kit that fits stock heads. It's cheap and a great upgrade for any mild aftermarket stick.

                            Yes, quite likely. You'll know it if you put it on a dyno and the graph turns into Bart Simpson's hair past a certain RPM point.

                                These heads were rebuilt with new springs. I have no idea what they are other than they are heavier than stock.

                                THESE are the ones I was talking about from TFS:
