[QUOTE="Matt95L, post: 2450666, member: 7006"] Lot of guys have been getting good results with the stock "HO" cam(usually around 50 dollars used) out of a 87-93 5.0 Mustang its a little lazy below 3000 rpms so they're advancing it 2 to 4 degrees to get some low end back.You'll need roller lifters(150-250 dollars depending on brand),spider and dogbones(20 bucks),and a steel distributor gear(20 bucks/only needed if the cam you use is steel).You may want to look into the cam that came in the 91-93 Thunderbirds and the 93 Cobras also if you're going the budget route its very similar to the HO cam except it makes a little less hp and a little more torque. If you want to spend a little more(200-325 dollars) i'd look at the Crower 15511,Competition cams XE264HR-14(The cam i'm running),NX264HR-14(Nitrous version of the cam i'm running),and the XE270HR-14(I'm not 100% sure this cam will work with our speed density computers,but it works with the Mustang ones and the the specs make it look like it would).Alll 4 of these cams run in well our stock rpm range and should make good power with the stock gt40 heads and intake. Then there are custom grinds Cam Motion([url]www.cammotion.com[/url]) is popular among Lightning guys i've seen some really impresive et/dyno gains from there cams.When i was looking for my cam they were my first choice,but after 6 weeks of waiting i cancelled my order.Ed Curtis/FTI,Buddy Rawls,Jay Allen/Camshaft Innovations,Bennet racing,and Philip(Member at NLOC.net) are the other guys i'd look at.Custom hydraulic rollers usually cost 300-400 dollars but they're well worth it.The Corral is a good place to look for cam info there are usually 5-10 cam threads started every day. Edit-Oh yeah and when you're looking into cams make sure the cams duration at .050 is 220ish or below and the lobe seperation is 114 or more to keep the stock speed density computer happy. [/QUOTE]
