Default is stock cam good....but what about the E303

Ok if I have a 89' 5.0 with heads and intake, full exhaust, stock crank and stock cam...how much HP would I gain from putting in a E303 cam. I have trick flow twisted wedge heads, and pro products intake manifold, mac headers, off road x, and flows.70mm tb,CAI etc... Or is the stock cam good enough? or am I loosing lots of pontential with the stocker cam.how much gain will I get from adding the e303 with heads and intake?

1.7 rockers will help without changing the cam. With the 1.7 rockers, stock cam, afr 165 heads, and a demon carb + 4bbl intake manifold Car Craft got about 325hp at the crank. Add up the costs between popping the valve covers off and swapping rockers versus pulling the valve covers, rockers, intake manifold, water pump, etc. out and replacing all those gaskets to swap the cam. How much is that little bit of HP worth if you're not an all-out racer? Save the cam swap for when it's time to rebuild or if you ever have to replace the water pump, for example.
