I love it when people call the letter cams garbage. They are a called old tech simply because they are single pattern camshafts. Single pattern tends to lend itself to motors with less restrictive exhaust ports. What works well in a motor with smaller exhaust ports (ie stock 5.0) is a camshaft that is a dual pattern. Meaning you run more duration and lift on the exhaust side, in order to give the cylinder gases more time to escape. The disadvantage to this is alot of folk say that you also push the torque out of the motor when you do that. It can go both ways. If I'm running after market heads I run a single pattern cam, as long as the heads allow me to do so.

Exactly the E cam being a simple grind works well with our cars!

Lafenatu has the 2031 and he is pretty happy with his i think

This is actually the second car I have used this cam in and I am very happy with it.

95_5.0@15, the 2031 was actually designed around for the 1993-1995 Cobra.

Brian's GT picked up quite nicely with nothing more than a mild cam. The 2031's streetable lift (figured with the 1.7s) of 0.513 intake and 0.529 exhaust give the car some nice low-end power. You can see that the peak horsepower, which is now 20 horses stronger, comes in almost 1,000 rpm lower, while the torque increase of 37 lb-ft is a gain you can feel in your khakis. And, the improvements in torque and horsepower all come in below 4,500 rpm-great for the street

That's from this article..
