Default Cam?



HI 89,</P>


For a blown 5.0L the system max intake is first choice, don't even bother with the TF streetintake for a blown engine. The TF R is the intake for a blown combo.</P>

Default Cam?

The engine builder at meridian performance is putting an F303 in my car. Seems to think it's a good cam, and he's one of the few Ford guys in town.

But people have gotten 400hp with the stock cam, and if you're going to drop a blower on it you wouldn't have any problems hitting that mark. So do you really need to spend the extra $200 on a cam? In my case I might put a blower on in a couple of years, but I wanted serious power N/A to start with.
