paxton 2000 - cam?
going to be running a paxton novi 2000 on a stock motor, found it runs on average around 325 rwhp so it should suffice for a while, which would be a good cam to go along with it? mind you i've got a bone stock motor - but will soon be adding to it slightly, within the next month going with gt40 heads and intake - maybe a C&L 73mm and a 65mm tb with 24lb injectors - but would a e303 be good? or an f?

id go f cam if your going to stick with ford i just asked a similar question about a cam for my car thats supercharged and seems to be consensus for the alphabet cams for a superchargered 5.0, you will need at least an 80mm meter and at least 36ers if your going to run supercharged on a built engine.

RE: paxton 2000 - cam?
un just so u know ull need 42 pound injecters to run the s/c... and u can run a could air intake with it either.. could get a power pipe tho... as for a maf however ull need a different one besides stock so ucan tune it better... Pro-m meter is pretty good id get a 80mm if i were u... and u might as well get a 70mm tb if you goin to be doin a h/c/i with the s/c or shortly there after.... look at this is way... take hte cost of the s/c kit pull 1000 buck for air and fuel upgrades which are a have to have thing.... then like another 500 for a tune... novi is like 3800 last time i check so for the sake of math and say u got a good deal call it 3500 so ull need like 5000 to but that s/c on you engine and keep it safe and reliable and get your moneys worth... make sure u plan this out.. first time i looks at s/c i didnt figure all this in and soon got over welmed and had to drop my plans cuz i didnt ahve enouhg money..... i am no pro but i would think most hte guys on here would agree with my numbers... are at least close to it.. i mean u could get everyhitng used and it would be a lot cheaper... or u may have a connectoin.. but with no special condistion i wouldnt be suprised if u spend 5k on puttin it in
EDIT: as for a cam u wont notice a big difference becuz you heads are you bottle neck rite now not the cam... so i would just save if and do a h/c/i all at once so u can easly match htem up so they all complent each other well....if you low on case u mite consider the h/c/i first even

RE: paxton 2000 - cam?
well, the supercharger is costing me 2k - and i already have a C&L laying around and a older tb hanging out - tuning is free - injectors aren't a problem. if i wanted a cheaper route i'd of just found an old Incon kit or a HP and stuffed it turbo. :|

u cant use a c&l cai with a supercharger... and dont use the maf they are junk.. i kno i have one... they use stock electrical with a bigger housing so ull go lean and doin that with a supercharger is less than good... trust me dont cut corners... ull need a fuel pump and regualtor as well... that cool that u get a free tune and got the injectors as well.. but get a different maf.. get a good one c&l are junk man... thats why they are so cheap.... i dunno how u got that s/c for 2k but congrats on that deal.. u can probably get everything done for less than 3grand from waht is sounds... gl with it
