E303 is a poor choice even if you had MAF. With SD you'll always have idle issues with that cam. Terrible recommendation.
You need an SD friendly cam. If you don't get any advice from someone who actually owns an SD car and has put a cam in it on here, then call comp cams and tell them what you have and see what they recommend. You basically need to keep stock vacuum at idle or the system will think you're under load and add fuel when it's not needed. |

OP, skip out on any letter cam. They suck. The best thing you can do is save your money on the cam, and do a MAF swap.

Mass air swap would be the easy way to go. Then you can run any cam you want!!
