its not a very big cam, save ur money and do a h/c/i at one time. and get a bigger cam...trust me...drive it for 100miles and u wish urs had a bigger one w/ more power lol
it shouldnt mess w/ ur gas too much but it could make it run richer, which would be bad for fuel ecomony..u have a stang, be happy w/ 16mpg!

Default RE: gas mileage

well this is the one stang that i am gonna dayly driveand i already have the cam it was in my other cars motor that is gettin a 331. reason being i really wanted a cam swap was this car has a non ho motor in it and the firing order isnt correct with the injector firing order, so i found out in another post and a tech article. so i was just thinkin about puttin that one in so the injector firing order would be right and have a litrtle more power but at the same time i dont wanna lose the 21 mpg im gettin goin to work and back, or should i say lose much of it. and if i get the chip reburnt for it that should fix the incorrecrt fuel mixture shouldnt it?

yeah i know its good and i dont wanna hurt it that much i think i got myself talked into it anyways cuz its the cam in it has the wrong firing order for the injectors and the heads im sure are non h.o. too so i can take my other set of heads off the motor that has the cam in it now and use them too cuz the got the upgraded springs in them already. now i only need to find a cobra intake
