for a while ive been debating about gettin a new cam, question is, is it worth it? under the hood i got a saleen motor, bbk underdrive pulleys, k@n filter and a chip.. would a cam add much power? i hear the ford e303 is the best way to go, its an 87 stang, any1 have any input on whether it would be worth it for me to buy?

myshifter

what cylinder heads do you have, stock?

Scooterman

i honestly have no idea, my guess would be non stock, but thats just a guess b/c this car was pretty hooked up when i got it, i mean it was chipped, engine swapped, i mean there could of been alot more stuff done, so thats just a guess, if there stock, then its not worth it?

Look on the end of your heads....are there any brand names or do they have 3 or 4 bars on the end? The point myshifter was getting at is that you don't need a cam if you're still running stock heads. The stockers will say E7 as part of the part #. If you have the cash, get aluminum AFR's or TW's, if not, go w/ some GT40 or P heads....then get a cam. The E cam is tried and tested, but it's older tech. You could go w/ a TFS stage 1 or a comp cam w/ similar lift/duration and probably get a little more bang for your buck.

You don't mention it in your post, but if your's is an '87...it should be a speed density system (unless it was converted to mass air). If it's still speed density, cam selection is very limited.....the E-cam will cause driveability problems.

It will add about 10 RWHP if its stock heads and intake. Don't put a cam in unless you upgrade the heads and intake.

Do a search, quit being lazy........

what kind of "chip"? most "chips", unless they are custom burned, are a waste of money especially on older cars like ours.

and the saleen motor is the same as a regular 5.0.
