My question is if i put an E303 cam in my car will i have driveability problems? I've that the newer body style 5.0's computer doesn't respond well to a cam, but i've never really askd directly. A friend of mine is selling his for $75 and he said i had first dibs so i thought it would work well with the heads and intake my car already has. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I put the 2031 cam in mine, which is really close to the E. I think there is something about the E cam though that causes more driveability problems, especially with our crappy EECs. It took alot of tinkering to get the idle right, and it still surges in the morning on the first start, but after 1 minute of driving it settles down. One thing that helped was the new FRPP 65 TB with the new IAC valve. But at idle it sounds awesome with the ultra flos with dumps and roars at WOT. I'm glad I did the cam with the heads. Ya it will work well with the gt40 irons, which flow alot better than stock and with the 1.7s you'll have .529 lift, which those springs can handle. I say go for it, and you might get lucky and have no problems. It pulls like a beast up to 6k. But be prepared to spend some money later to tune it if you need to. I just did some more tuning on it this week along with the msd and I'm hoping for a 13.3 @ 105+ on radials.
