Default 5.0 Cams




hey guys.. I'm pretty new to mustang forums so I'm not really sure yet how the whole thing works but I have a question that has been bothering me for quite a while.. I just recently got a 331 stroker put in my 88 and I was wondering what is the best cam I can install in the car. Right now it has a Ford Racing E303 cam in it and I'm lookin to buy a new one.. so can yall help me out here??

I am using a Comp XE series in my 331. It seems to make good power and has good drivability.

+1 on the comp xe series...in recent articles in the mustang magazines they have dynoed stroker motors with the xe series cams and have put down decent numbers with those cams..I personally will have a xe 282 in my 347 as soon as it arrives
