ever heard of piston to valve clearance?....a "b" cam is the most you can really do to a stock stang,and maybe an "e"?....still it's a waste of time,and money to me...your heads suck!..exhaust..intake...compared to what a "Z" cam requires....yes you can install a cam with out pulling motor on a fox...i did it three times.

Gears!!

They don't add power but they sure do add fun!!

Mechanical advantage is increased. Personally I like 4.10's and you need to get someone that knows what they are doing to install them.

I am buying a Cam for my Mustang this weekend, i plan on getting the Performance Z-Cam, in Jegs its only 169.99,would i need anything else when i install it? and if anybody has a after market cam in their Mustang tell me about it, i might change my mind before i buy one this weekend!
If you don't have gears you should do that first. Much more accelleration than any cam will do w/ your motor. 3.55-3.73's for your 5 speed. If you go w/ a cam later, plan on getting a tune since the SN95's don't handle most cams very well.
