92 LX 5.0, stock short block, GT-40p heads, GT-40 tubular intake, 65mm TB, BBK cold air intake, Ford Racing shortie headers, full exhaust, no emissions equipment, C4 tranny 3000 stahl, 3:73 gears. Seems like a great combo, runs real good. HOWEVER! I really like the idle quality of an aftermarket cam, nothing better than a cammed 5.0. I would love to see a power increase, but really don't care. Seems from what I have read that the 303 cams are outdated, love the idle of the B-303. This is NOT a daily driver and when I drive it, I do so the way a 5.0 should be driven. I don't baby it, but shift conservatively at 5 grand when on it. Haven't been to the track yet. Not interested in changing springs, rockers, pushrods at this time. Sooo....what are your recommendations?

e-303 if you dont wanna get crazy but want an idle, Yes they are outdated but for what you are looking for and the price of them, ya cant really go wrong.

Yeah given your minimal mods, I think a 303 cam would wake her up just enough to give you what you need!

I had an e303 and liked it alot. Idle is awesome if thats what your going for. Here is an older video of my car with an e303 among other things.

I used to have an F-cam, I loved it. They recommend springs, but at 5 grand, you prob won't need em, lol. I shifted mine above 6 with the F-cam

I'd go afm n4 slight noticeable idle and will wake up the low lift numbers on those heads

I agree. Worked well with my very similar combo, they should be all over the place at this point used and cheap.

I have an e cam in my fox,pretty much same combo. I upgraded my springs,thing runs good alot of torque. The s-trim helps too.
