kirks5oh Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 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.

phil Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 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.

stolen 5.0 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 get some heads when you do the cam, it'll make a noticeable difference. i had an e303 cam also. it worked out nicely where ever it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimmel1647545512 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I plan on going with the e303 cam for now as well seems to be a good street cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
