I was reading in one of my latest mustang mags & in the article they used a b303 cam with a FRPP Cobra upper & lower on a stock 92 block with stock Mass air. Everything else is stock except the headers,exhaust, clutch,& plug wires. Is the cam going to be beneficial with this setup? Would it be the same with a speed density 87 5.0 H.O.? The article didnt post any specs as far as hp. & tq readingsand I was just curious if anybody might have this setup or some input ifthis will gain any power over stock?Thanks guys!

no, you need heads. without em the cam is useless.

Ok why would a person set their motor up like this? There has to be some reason or performance gain. Anybody else out there have any input?

you might see a peak increase of maybe 15hp, but you might lose some where you used to have it, throughout the rpm band.
just swapping a cam & intake on because you can, doesn't mean it will work correctly. it must all work together, otherwise you will have an inconsistent powerband.

i had my b-303 with ported stock heads, headers and 2.5 inch exhaust,and a eddy rpm 2 intake on my stock bottom end and ran 13.6 all day long on motor, i made 246rwhp

it lost some bottom end torque, but over 3000 rpm the gains were worth it.

Were you still running mass air? And were those the only mods you had? Did you have different pushrods,anything, no detail too small. Please more info! THANKS!!!!
