FMS X or Z cam
 
Does anyone use the Z cam and like it? My combo is a 93 cobra with a 331 JE 10.5 pistons and edelbrock victor jr heads trying to decide between the X or the slightly bigger Z cam. One other question why does everyone bash the 93 EECV is it really that bad, what's wrong with it? THANKS GUYS

Well first of all with either cam you will need a rev limit extender or convert it to a carburated car. My friend had the x cam and it pulled to 7000 easy. He liked the x cam. I havent heard of anyone running the z cam yet.

Yes, the Cobra computer is horrible. It stays in closed loop for 7 seconds of WOT application, it pulls the most timing of any computer between shifts, it has very weak air/fuel curves, and it's timing altogether is weak. The Cobra computer is the WORST computer you can get for a 5.0, probably any car ever.

My buddy has a 327ci with AFR 185 heads, X-cam and 1.6 rockers. He runs the stock EEC, and his car pulls harder than a mother! Without me tuning my car, he can keep up with it!
