5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
depends on mods,gears,trans,use of car......me I like lil to no lobe and gobs of horsepower...I like to sneak up on the "big boys" with "quite" horsepower
well when i put the cam in, its going to have a cam, edelbrock performer rpm intake, 24# injectors, blackmagic extreme elec fan, alum radiator, bbk cai, 70mm tb, 75mm maf tuned for cai & 24# injectors, stock ported heads(thumper performance). msd 6al box, msd cap & rotor, bbk shorty equal headers, mac prochamber o/r h-pipe slp lm1 mufflers(dumps).
I hope your getting a really good deal on the Thumpers because ported E7's are a really poor choice, even those ones. Keep in mind that you will need rear gears that allow you to take advantage of the upper rpm power that a lumpy cam has, also make sure to use the correct valve spring. The stock cam is actually pretty good sized in a 5.0, 300+ rwhp is not that hard to do with one.
