Car runs rough


My mustang is running kind of rough. The reason i have come to is that it currently has an F cam. I was told that if I put in mass air along with 24lb injectors this should solve my problem. Is this correct? and if not what other options do I have besides replcing the cam?

F-303 is a "OLD SCHOOL" cam, there REALLY out dated, and OVER estimated. I would yank that cam out. I have a ed curtis custom cam, heads, intake, and bolt ons and it runs 10x better than it did when I had a f303 with heads,intake, bolt ons.

Call one of the big cam companies, tell them your mods, and if you want to grow in the future, then have them make you one...Custom cam is the way to go from what i hear.

I dont have a custom cam my friend... As stated above, I said that I "hear" all the time that a custom cam is the way to go...as of yet, my car has two mods, neither one of them is a cam...But after a bit of SEARCHING on google, I came up with anywhere from 300-425 dollar range for those brands above...I am not a dick, if I had a cam, i would be more than willing to tell you the brand/price/where i got it...Thanks
