Cam Size Recomendation

Whats the biggest cam you can go on a stock 5.0 without changing everything. Is an e-303 to radical? Just a simple slide in.
Just curious. thanks!

RE: Cam Size Recomendation

When it comes to selecting a cam going with the biggest one possible does not mean the most power......

RE: Cam Size Recomendation

If you just slap a big lopey cam in there it might sound good, but will lose power and run like a freakin turd.

RE: Cam Size Recomendation

an f-cam will fit in without issues but ptv still needs to be checked and if this is going in your sn-95 you really need to choose a cam carefully or idle issues will result with the sensitive ecm..it's hit or miss sometimes and a steeda #19 would be the best choice but with any cam install you'll need matching springs, locks and retainers..STOCK SPRINGS= STOCK CAM USE!!! there is no such thing as slide in and go!!
