I have an 02 Mustang GT, 4.6, auto,the only mod so far is a tuner. I plan on adding an exhaust,intake and camshaft.

Would anyone with a similar set up point me in the right direction for the Cam?

If you do a set of cams, you have to make sure to do the rest of the mods accordingly. Most decent sized cams are going to need a certain gear ratio, exhaust and intake flow, and in your case the right stall converter to work properly. Most companies offer an off the shelf "stage" cam, but they can also grind you a set for your specific application. Also, you can take a look at www.modularheadshop.com for a huge list of cams for your car. Nick that runs the place can match a cam for your exact setup...also, dependiong on how big of a cam and the milage on your car, a valvespring upgrade may be necessary as well...

Besides the mods that you mentioned, what other plans do you have? Do you plan on keeping the heads stock? If so i highly recommend Modular Head Shop cams. I'm running their stage 2's, and am very happy with them.

take into consideration if you will be adding forced induction to your car as well. there are different cams for n/a and forced induction.
