Default Cam question

Would it be completely retarded to install a aftermarket cam on a stock 5.0? If not... which would be a good cam to start off with?

Dont listen to this guy, hes a nut. I have an E-cam in a basically stock motor...runs great. I say find a B or E cam and put her in. Just open the exhaust and intake up a bit as well so it can breathe.

im a nut? lol.

you rode in my car, and the only differance pulling wise(besides those gears ya go) is that i shift at 5500, and u shift around 6k...

the cam, depending on what you get will allow you to pull a little higher rpms... but you wont notice it pull harder...
