Default cam suggestions...?

hey guys got some iron gt40 thumper heads, gt40 intake, 70mm t/b, 73mm maf, 3.73s. getting ready to put some new 24lb injectors in pretty soon and will swap out the stock cam at the same time. i got a e303 but im hearing a tfs1 or steeda cam works better. just wonder what would be the best cam choice, giving my setup the most power. thanks

Like many will say, the E-Cam is slightly outdated. It's a single pattern cam. Many newer ones like the TFS-1 is a dual pattern cam. The TFS power range is 2000-6000rpm while the E-Cam falls off at 5500. I like my TFS-1 and it works great with my supercharger. Although I will say that the E-cam sound much more rowdy than the TFS-1. I'd opt for the TrickFlow cam personally.
