Add an aftermarket cam to a stock 5.0, youll actually lose horsepower. You need at least heads and an intake manifold

so if i want it to actually help i neeed heads and and intake manifold!!??

what if i do it now and do the heads and intake after!!?? would it just give it a cool sound!!?

yes it will sound better but the heads and intake will be a huge bottleneck. i suggest if its bone stock to do a drop in k+n air filter and full exhaust from the engine back first

yeah i was planning on putting full exhaust just dont know wich one yet!!?? still havent dicided, if you have any suggestion i wouldent mind!!?? lol

so if i put on full exhaust and intake it wont loose power with the cam!!??

i was thinking of putting an e-303!!?? what you think bout that yes or another one!!??

92_Mustang_5.0

i wonder as well, cause i didnt know at all!!!!

not to be a smartass but i think it doesn't help any b/c the stock heads and intake can only flow a certain amount of air and a cam that has a greater duration which the valves are held open to draw more air cant because the heads and intake are resticting it so i would deff. do a head and intake and exhaust upgrade at least before you slide that cam in. you will be pleased with the power gain and the sound :]
