5.0 flat tappet camshaft question

[buell-eyed-devil]

I bought a cam for my v8 Bronco 2 several years ago and never used it. Brand new in box. I need help deciding what kind of performance cam it is. .473 valve lift. .497 exhaust lift. .288 duration int. ..300 duration exhaust. Anyone know what I have? It's for a Ford 302

That is this exact camshaft.

It is colored "yellow", Not the best for low end torque or off-roading unless you keep the stock 3.73 gearing. It's good for 2000rpm and up.

Not really going to be for off roading. Some, but mostly a daily driver. Don't remember exactly why I thought this one was a great idea. Thanks for input

I also have a 92 5.0 with a roller cam. Maybe a better choice? Will be running GT 40 heads with an Edelbrock Performer intake and block hugger headers
