I was just curious on what would be the best heads and cam duo on a 5.0 stang. This is with the intention of being a daily driver with very capable 1/4 mile performance. thanx

does the trick flow cam have a real lumpy idle? or does it sound stock?

Doug are you looking for a lumpy idle or going for the sleeper approach? E303 has a NASTY ASS idle.

If you want your presence known the E is for you. Worked great when my motor was stock, worked great with my heads and intake, and best of all it loved the nitrous.

Check out this link:

http://Thumperoforangepark.com



He ports out stock E7's and he has quite a reputation on Stangnet.com for having good products. His heads have been taken to low 12's in the 1/4, and he even has combos on his website that includes a cam, springs and a timing chain set for under $1000. Go onto Stangnet and search for his name (thumper460), there are numerous posts describing the quality of his work.

The e cam will give you a lil more lump than stock. I swapped my e-cam for the Trick flow stage 1 cam and made way more power. They dont advertise that its emissions legal but if your car is tuned properly and has had a recent oil change you will pass with it. It has a more agressive lump to it, plus makes more power. Just my .02
