A: 1: i think they are 2.55 maybe 2.73 stock ( pathetic )
A: 2: lift is how far out the valve is lifted, more lift = more air flow = more hp.
any lift over .5 run the risk of hitting stock pistons and would need notched pistons. a good cam that is better than stock
and will still idle smooth and work well on most build ups is the Ford "e" cam, or "f" cam, or the TrickFlow stage 1 cam.
There's a lot of science to it in how quickly the valve opens and closes and how much overlap there is between one valve
closing and the other opening. If you really want to understand it search the web on how cams work, there is tons of
info out there for free.

RE: Topic beat to death..i know
obveously the reason i ask what stock gears are is becaause i was told the stoc kgears are around 3.20s so 3.73 would not be a huge leap. with stiock heads nad pistons is it still worth it for a cam swap

they come in 2 diff options. 2:73 and 3:08. redline it in third. if it goes to 120 at 6k rpm in 3rd it has 2:73.

2200 is 3.08s
anything lower is 2.73
sround 2350 and youve got 3.27s

RE: Topic beat to death..i know
if you are running stock e7 heads right now, dont even bother with a cam.
it would be wise for you to look into a set of GT-40 or even gt-40 P heads for a low cost head, edelbrocks are cheap also... best bang for heads without major modification is the afr165 and trick flow twisted wedge buth will run you over 1k
