would i be able to put a mild cam in a stock 5.0 and notice a difference? also would like to get an intake but what to go with, what other parts do i need when buying one...t/b etc..
What cam would you go with for a stock 5.0 that has a nice sound

Dont bother getting a cam unless your going to get heads, you need to change out the whole valvetrain anyways just to do a cam.

u can put a cam in it but u will see maybe 3-10 hp u will need to atleast upgrade to gt40's to see any real gains out of a cam change. it will sound a little different is that all your lookin at though.

intake wise there are a bunch of different ones trickflow,eddelbrock,holley,typhoon, just depends on what u want to do with the car street track both?

jtmustang

haha beat me to it really what do u want to do with the car?

u can go with the TRICK FLOW Stage 1 cam. look it up on youtube so u can hear its idle sound. u will have to get stronger valve springs and u may wanna get 1.6 or 1.7 ratio roller type rockers. may or may not require longer pushrods.

if u do get some gt-40p heads u will need special exhaust headers to fit correctly.

geez fast replies. um i just want my car to be a little quicker. i cant afford a h/c/i combo as we speak so what about just a cam and intake.

jtmustang

well u can afford a cam $150-350 and an intake $300-650 but u cant afford a set of used gt40$100-350 not the p's and get them checked out and maybe new springs

i mean the intake and cam will get u a little , but by adding just a set of gt40 would really wake it up and not only get the sound but will have some ***** to back it up

and if your doing just the intake and cam well plan on spending more than your thinking anyways for stuff like all the gaskets youll need,silicone,antifreeze, and all the other little stuff u need or should replace while your in there

bansheeyfz

are the gt 40s off the explorers? what the diff from the p's? whats the other little stuff that i would need to do this?

jtmustang

like i said it also has alot to do with what u want out of the car just the noise or do uwant the performance to?

bansheeyfz

i want performance first but the sound always helps. where can i find these parts i need?
