What are you opinions on the best camshaft for my 5.0L? I am now forced to tear into the top end of the engine so I may swap the cam as well.
The engine is a stock 1992 mustang HO with Edelbrock upper and lower EFI intake, custom long tube headers 1.5” primaries to 2.5” exhaust (no crossover pipe). The truck has hydroboost brakes and is a trail truck designed for everything from slow crawling to hammer down mud bogging.
I will be running 75-100hp shot of (dry) nitrous eventually. When the heads are off I will get them ported. I want good power right of idle, and (I think) I would like a little more than the standard Ford racing B303 and was looking for peoples experience with what is out there.
The original plan was to run the engine as is for a year or two then do a full rebuild with a stroker kit when I had the money, but the coolant in the oil and white smoke and sparks shooting out of the exhaust changed the priorities.
This is the truck
