best cam and heads for 5.0l

[Gray 5.0]

what is the best cam and heads for running on a 5.0. i want a cam and heads that will maximize the use of a T trim blower.

Stock short block?
What intake?

Stock block and trick flow track heat

With a stock block and a T trim, you don't need anything special with a T trim as you'll make enough power to potenatially split the block without a problem. I'm a huge AFR fan as I've had so much success with them, as well as FTI for the camshaft selection. Honestly if you have a T trim and a stock block I'd look for the best deal you can find on any decent aluminum head and grab it.

im not looking for anything crazy just want to ditch the stock heads. has an e cam but feel a f would match it better

I love my track one's, also make sure your pistons will work with what you want., trick flow stage 2 and 3 are nice over the counter cams

My friends stock shortblock '93 Cobra uses box stock TFS Twisted Wedge heads and a TFS stage 2 cam.
Honestly like Paul mentioned, your T-trim will make block splitting power and any aluminum head that works with the stock pistons will be good.
TFS TWs and even a stock cam with 1.7 roller rockers would be the cheapest and easiest.

Wicks car has box stock Twisted wedge heads and a stage 2 cam, his s-trim is all hopped up and he has a nice set of SRP pistons in the stock block but it made nice numbers.

I wouldn't run cogs on that t-trim unless you have your crank double keyed and forged

[biminiLX]

Yes, def. not on a stock block/crank.
'93 Cobra mentioned above has a Novi 2000 also, so just bigger than a T-trim, makes 475rwhp at just 10psi.

Has an e cam in it now and at 16lbs is at 410whp so maybe just a set of tw heads and call it a day

I'm not looking to make this a crazy motor I plan on doing a 351 based stroker later jw what heads would flow better then stock 95 heads

i would go with trickflow or afr heads. if you dont plan on getting a custom ground cam id go with trickflow stage II or III.

The Twisted Wedge head is the best/only 2.02 valve head that can work with the stock pistons AND be ported to support a 427 stroker.
Best to look for those.

thanks alot guys i think ill go eith the tw heads for sure and thats all. ill be happy with those numbers that i get

I made about 550 rwhp with a T-trim and and a stock head & intake car.
I had a custom cam and ran 10.99 @ 128 mph in a 3450lb car....all with a 100,000+ mile stock longblock that only had a cam.

Way beyond stock block splitting territory......lol:laughing:

TW heads are very nice cause you can send them out for cnc porting down the road when your ready to upgrade again.

E7's or GT40's? Pretty significant difference. I had a t-trim with P's and the car was a monster, overrevved and destroyed the longblock, swapped in a stock 95 GT longblock and lost a ton of power (obviously, expected to, it's what I had laying around).
