    Suggest a cam

    I want more bottom end power. As much as i can get. Stock heads, gt 40 upper and lower and maybe bigger tb will be on by the time the cam goes in. Stock stang heads and 2.5 offroad h pipe and flowmasters are on too. Engine is stock other wise. Or would I be better off just getting 1.7 RR's?

    Your limited to a crower 15511 and a few other cams with speed density, needs to have a certain lobe separation 112-114 I think. That doesnt mean you cant run another car, it just wont run as well/smoothly.

      Intake and cam are pretty much worthless on stock heads....1.7's would be the best bet.

              Stock cam or truck cam, 1.7's. Maybe a ported upper and TB.

                  truck cam or Explorer cam will get you substantially more low end, but I'm with those guys, big intake on stock heads will lose torque because you'll have poor air velocity. Would be better with just an HO upper and the truck cam or something. It should also let you get away with the stock ECM, or at worst case you'll need to switch to the truck ECM and re-pin the injector harness for batch fire which isn't that huge of a deal.

                    I probably asked this before, but I forget these things. What exactly are E7s?

                        E7 is the improved head that came out in 1987 and was used on mustang 5.0L, Truck 5.0L and 5.8L engines.
