Yeah I do that sometimes, when I am in a big hurry. Sorry I will try to be more grammar friendly next time.

from the sound of things, your wife needs to learn to chill...

keep the stock cam in there and replace the heads.

These heads have been worked like hell. They flow a tad more than my AFR's, this is not going to be a prostock motor by any means. I just hate the sound of a stock cam. I know what cam I am wanting to run, I just want the opinion of some other guys.... P.S. my wife stayed in the pedal the whole my lx was in the back bumper, hell of a show then got out and took a bow. She doesn't have to chill.......

well, sounds like you pretty much know what you want in there... so why bother posting


and I dont give a rats *** how well your E7's flow... they are still pieces of ****, and you are retarded for putting the money into them.

the ONLY time that E7's should be used on a mustang, is in a factory stock class

If you already know what cam you wanna run, then run that one. Seems like you've built a few of these already so just go with what works for you. Plus most of us all run roller cams. I dun know **** bout flat tappet cams.
