no cam until you do the heads, save your money
the only gain you'll get is minimal and of course a lope, not worth the trouble until you have the heads replaced

agreed about the head's thing. B cam does have a nice idle though. unfortunitly heads cam and intake is where you will see the most gains from everything. Look to spend 2 g's if not more for a good kit.

Hey there,
I have an 83 5.0, carbed. Im in the same boat here. Im thinking about upgrading my cam but Im completely stock. Does anyone have any suggestions for an intake-heads-cam combo? What have you done? I would like to go "***** to the walls" but I do want to keep it street.
Thanks,
