Just wondering what would be better on a daily driven 5.0,to retard the cam timing or to just install it straight up since i really don't want to advance it since i don't want my power band real high and i really don't plan to turn the car over 5500 anyways,just curios on what your guy's opinions would be.

almost all cams are ground with 4 degree advanced in them..

I know that but i was wondering if i would benifit from installing the cam 4 degrees retarted,or just installing it straight up,and this is just your off the shelf alphabetical cam "b cam" and the car is a everyday driver and bottem end would probaly be a bit better than a high powerband.

i wanted to know the samething which is better for low torque advance or retard bc my car is a DD and i dont rev past 5000 normally and sometimes 6000 but thats rare if i do that. I have a E cam close to what stangpower has.

sry stang for this post if im stealing it

if you advance the cam it's better in the low end...to much and you'll see a valve smacking a piston..first you need to find out if there is any advance in the cam...you'll have to degree it

advancing a cam give bottom end, and retarding gives you top end, so in my opinion MOST DDs should run straight up.
