5.0 Balla

Well i have a 90 5.0 lx, and i have a gt40 upper lower intake, headers, exhuast, and a lot of other ****, what would be the best cam, to get a choppier idle sound but not make me stall out?

Quik

can deffently tell your a newbie.... cams just arent picked you need to match them. for now a E or B will do OK

i would say 1.7 RR and an E303 cam

personally, I really like my b-303 cam, it really pulls from 4k-6k.
but I haven't tried the e-303, so I cant compare them, but against the stock cam, you lose a little bottom end, but advance your timing, and you get it back.
I also installed an intake too.

The b will make you "stall out" bigtime get the e but if $ is a factor I would say get a steeda cam not a ford.

I don't know what you mean by stall out.
my cam runs perfectly fine.
it takes a while to get it to idle good, but once you get it set it is a kickass cam.
I was contemplating if I should get the E cam, but the B is better suited for the track.in my opinion.
I should be able to roast those ls6 camaros now.
I usually beat them off the line, because of my gears, but by the finish line they whizz past me.
damn camaros with their "top end"

Well I know the terminology he used was not really the best but I know what he meant, is a b cam is real boggy down low "that's what he was asking" & the answer is yes, it's actually the worst there probably is, a b cam has so much positive overlap it sounds absolutely awesome but because of such extensive ammount of overlap in this grind it will actualy make you loose a very significant ammount of horsepower down low "from 1000 - about 4500 rpm" it will feel real sluggish it's only after 4500 rpm "or so" that it starts to kick in & feel even stock again & or you start to see any bit of performance "if any" with this cam, I actually tried it & took it & had it dynoed & wound up actually loosing almost 50 HP & 100 ft/lbs of Torque by using the b cam, that's why I would suggest the e over the two or better yet a even better cam being the steeda as it's actually the same price maybe cheaper, has a split duration favoring the exhaust side & has a significant less ammount of overlap there for will creat excellent power all throughtout the rpms "1500 - 6000 I think it was rated too" It will definately out perform the ford cams "well the b that's for sure".

I didn't notice any lack of power, but I haven't driven it since last summer, and I drove it with the cam in, and it is crazy fast compared to my 2.9L ford ranger.
