heads and cam setup
ok i just bought some gt40 heads ported and polished for my mustang. i figured what the hell while im down there i might as well get a new cam. so far all i have for the engine is a holley 670cfm street avenger carb eldelbrock intake and a quad 4 radiator and an exhaust setup. So i was wondering what would be the best cam for my mustang, i want something that would be nice, loapy, and deep. When i replace the cam am i going to have to get some lifters? or what all am i going to need to get?

what about that cam has you interested?
why do you want a cam with less exhaust lift than intake lift. You do know that its the exhaust that suffers on the SBF right...
perhaps you should post up a little bit more about your goals for the car so we can better help you choose WISELY

no. its a flat tappet cam. you need a hyd roller.

this will be a good cam for down the road if you want an OTC cam.
blower cams need a wider LSA to optimize power. that first cam you posted had 107* LSA. it wont idle, wont drive down low, wont be pleasant, and wont make power with a blower. at all. this cam has a 114* LSA which is great for a blower or turbo, not so much so for an NA combo. depending on how long you might be NA, just go with an NA cam...
