Alright, just looking through some magazines and trying to learn a little about cams. What I'm wondering is what is the best cam for a stock 5.0?

For a stock 5.0? as in, stock heads and intake? well that would be the stock h.o cam.....5.0's see little gain, or even a loss with a bigger cam, plenty of people have done it anyway, but money can be spent somewhere else, and achieve more gain, open up breathing with intake, exhaust, then heads, that way the cam does what its supposed to, and makes more power on the topend.

Stick with the stock cam. It's more aggressive than the rest of the stock HO combination already.
