im about to finally mod my car going with ford racing shorty headers, bbk throttle body, o/r h pipes by mac and 2.5 inch pro dumps.

is adding a cam going to benefit my setup?

I hear ford racing cams are junk... but am hearing lots of good things about the Trickflow setups or even better a custom grind cam, just depending on what heads/intake you'll be going with down the road. Cam is usually the last thing you want to put on unless you know what top end parts you are gonna get.

[jessemachone]

do everything else before your cam. gears, heads, intake - the whole 9. By then you will realize that there are much better options for a cam out there.

you can find the ford cams used all day. dont buy a new one cause your not going to want it for long. 'fast only feels fast for a short amount of time' that is when you start switching parts and wanting to go faster.

None.

Hmm... idk. I really don't think a cam with the stock heads is going to do really much except for sound. It may actually hurt but i'm not for sure on that.

[jessemachone]

the point is, with your other mods, the cam (if any cam at all- not just the e303) isn't going to do much because you haven't done anything else to make the engine breathe better (heads, intake throttle and body)

the only thing it will do for sure is be a waste of your money because later down the road when you do heads and intake you will probably want something to work better with your combo.

Do you have better gears installed in the rear? (3.73 or 4.10's at least) gears will really wake up your car. cam is the last piece of the puzzle man. My advice to you is read read read so you only spend your money once.

you will only go as fast as you wallet will let you

THe e cam will improve your ET's, but not enough to spend the time and money IMO.

Don't worry about a cam with those mods.. it won't really benefit you yet.

And frpp cams aren't "junk" they are just out dated technology and off the shelf to fit a wider range of combos so they don't yield as much return on your investment as say a $400 custom cam spec'd to your shit would

these guys r right, cam is last, and the stock cam is good for 300hp so look into heads, and a good intake manny way before the cam, my buddy put a vortech blower on his 200,000 miles stock motor made well over 350RWHP STOCK CAM, no he has an edebrock intake and meth injection his close to 400 stock cam, do lots of homework before u start buying things

like a bbk TB on a stock motor isnt worth the money ur not going to feel any difference now if u have an aftermarket intake manny then id say go for it cuz ur choking the gains from the manifold, start off with basic bolt ons intill u get ur head straight on ur plans with the car
