Default f303 vs e303???

which of these cams would be better for a 5spd with gt40p heads and a typhoon intake, 76mm maf and 70mm tb???

i hear the e303 is better for auto's and has .498, and the f is .512 and better for manuals, but then apparently the gt40p's don't really catch anything going over .500.

any ideas???

thanks,
jeff

Not to many people on here like the alphabet cams ....I have an F-cam but people will tell you that the gt 40p heads don't flow worth a darn over .500 lift.....I like the f-cam it has a nice lope to it but there are plenty of better choices out there that are a dual pattern = much better then a single pattern cam.

I would go with the F if i chose between the two, has a better idle sound and more midrange and topend power which the 5.0 lacks.

Max lift is not the only determining factor in selecting a cam....just a thought.

Neither cam is as good as the TFS or Comp cam. The TFS cam sucks too though.

If this is Junkyard Wars and those are my only two choices. I'd go with the E cam. I think the smaller cam will give you better ETs with your near stock car. The F cam will probably sound better though.
