5.0 Cam Kit
 

I need to figure out what the biggest cam is that I can put in my 5.0. I have the stock heads, and everything in the motor is stock. I have 4:11 gears, a 3500 rpm torque converter, b&m shift kit, BBK shorty headers, and a BBK 2.5 inch H-Pipe exhaust.

Anything bigger than the stock cam wont do you much good at all. You will need to at least need to upgrade the valve springs to go with a big cam and even then I dont see the point.

If you just have a hard on for a big cam upgrade the springs and throw a .550 lift cam in there and have fun.

As Dark_5.0 stated, big cam ain't going to do nothing. Probably run worse.

People don't understand that "Big Cam" doesn't =="Big Power". Most of the time it=="Big Headache".

Most people overcam their build, thinking "Bigger is Better". Not always in the cam selection process.
