Default z-303 cam

Ive been looking around lately for a cam for a mildy modified motor. The Z-303 cam across and I was wondering what is everyone elses opinions on it. Pros, cons.. Would i have to notch my pistons with this cam. I hear a lot of good things about the x-303 cam so I would think it would be the same with the Z since the specs are really close between the two.

Isaac...What mods do you have in your mustang and how do you like you x-cam? If it clears stock pistons then that would be a better choice. I would probably then go with an x-cam and maybe 1.7 roller rockers.

I'm not sure if 1.7 with an xcam is a good idea with a stock 302. I love my x303 & it even went on without modifying the 302 to make it fit.
