I know you guys can help me out here. I'm going back to the stock 5.0 H.O. bottom end. I will be useing my world windsor sr. heads, cobra intake with stock air meter and 19lb injectors. I have mac 2 3/4 longtube headers with a 2 1/2" pro-chamber w/flomasters no tailpipes. and a zex dry 75- 125hp nos. kit. should i use the stock 87 s.d. cam or the lunati cam i have? here are the cam specs.
Duration @.050 IN/EX: 218/226;Lift IN/EX: .500"/.510";LSA / ICL: 112/108;RPM Range: 2000-6000

; Fair idle,
I have a stock gear now but do plan to install a 4:10 gearset. and the car is a five speed. I just wonder if the stock cam will give me a little more of a power band since it makes power from idle. or am i nuts for thinking of useing the stock cam?????:lol:

A GOOD NITROUS CAM WILL HAVE A 112 TO 114 LOBE SEPERATION WONT BE AS CHOPY AND NASTY SOUNDING BUT WILL PERFORM WELL WHEN SPRAYED:bigthumb

go with the aftermarket cam. At least it will give a little more power.
