5.0 question

If the car truly has stock E7 heads with an X cam, it's going to have a pretty crappy idle, along with a crappy low end, decent midrange, and crappy top end.

The only reason I could see an X cam being used is if the person that had the cam installed was using a big N20 system or something like that. The X-303 is supposed to be a decent nitrous cam, well, at least when it came out many years ago.

The E7's would absolutely require upgraded springs to work with the X-303, and the pistons would need flycutting. It makes no sense to me why they would choose that combination.

I refuse to believe that anyone is dumb enough to use an X-cam with stock heads. I would bet money that either the heads are not stock or it has a B or E cam instead of an X cam.

Nice car though.
