the correct cam for the stang

my car has a fresh stock short block, fox lake ported explorer heads, e-303 cam, roller rockers, throttle body, GT40 tubular intake (port-matched lower), long tubes, off road h, and flowmasters with a tremec 5 speed, and 3.73's---its a nice combo. the 'e' cam is a nice street piece, great idle, decent upper rpm response, and full driveability at low rpms. for a mild street car, like mine, its great.

ok one more question, on the stock rpm gauge where is it best to shift at becuase ive been shifting at 47-49 hundred when i race but i drug out 3rd and 4th to about 53 hundred last night and it seemed like the top end held much better.

that's fine. i used to shift mine around 5200 when i was stock/near stock. any more rpm and you're past the power peak. i shift mine a bit higher now, when i actually drive the car. you'd be surprised that the stock rpm guage is off sometimes by a fair amount. mine is off by at least 250 rpms

im not going to shift that hi cause i dont want to break it just yet, ill stay around 52 but i did help out a lot last week cause 5th gear is usally a bust, but it really kept moving last week so i might keep it around there until i do some work
