![]() With stock heads stock intake and pretty much everything else stock the stock cam is really not a bad cam. If he was to go through the trouble of changing cams it really wouldn't do much for him right now. The stock package is a really well matched combo.

![]() one well respected Mustang shop recommends
the smallest Crower hydr roller cam. It's only a little longer duration but a bunch more lift and is described as very torquey and good with an aod. www.crowercams.com also check www.iskycams.com |

![]() PS - HOWEVER I've read of lots of Mustangs
that kept the stock cam and upgraded the restrictive head/intake/headers and were surprisingly quick. Course, that IS more $. "Cheap" upgrades there would be the Explorer intakes (about same as the Cobra) and Explorer P heads (need special headers)which both can be had thru ads in Mustang/ford mags quite reasonably. |

![]() The stock one is best.
You would gain a little lift w/ some 1.7's though. ------------------ '88 coupe...stock as a rock. Check out http://www.burnouts.stangnet.com 11's coming soon!!!! Heads,intake and cam are all here |

![]() Tell your buddy to skip the cam and buy a 3.73:1 gearset! Don't bother with the cam yet!

![]() from everything i've read, the stock mustang cams are pretty good... without changin the heads, intake and exhaust, a cam is'nt much help...
best bang for the buck, rear end gears (3:73's or 4:10's)... look at the articles on this board, one of them gives performance stuff that is free or very cheap, and adds extra hp... ------------------ Black,84 GT,ground effects,shorty headers, 'open' dual exh.,302 HO(no pollution control crap),T5,89 ported heads,edelbrock Performer manifold, Edelbrock 2122 cam,600 Holley, high volume oil pump... gears (4:10's) on their way!!!! |
