You gotta provide a little more info bud..

What year is the car? Stock pistons? Stock heads?

 

[musclemustang94]

well PAL, yes it is a stock 5.0. My bad.

got money for a tune after you install an F cam on a stock 5.0?

why do you want to put an F cam on a stock 5.0?

Had F-cam installed in my original 94 302 motor with 2.02 valves in 69 351W heads without any clearance issues. Cranked that puppy up over 6500rpm without any problems. You'll be fine with stock valves.

I did no notching, and have used E7, GT40, and now my trick flows with no problems.

also, don't put this cam in unless you get some upgraded heads and intakes. Get the b cam or something if your staying basically stock

You won't need any modification for the f cam... Don't expect large power increases without heads and intake... 94-95 cars sometimes have idle issues with the f cam due to lack of vacuum and no map sensor... Good luck

my car is untuned and has very few issues. the small issues it has are, well small. it sometimes, right after starting will buck, but it stops quickly

Its eventually gonna have edlebrock heads and stuff. Thanx for the info guys.

my friend has a b-cam with 1.7 rockers (.510 lift) with stock heads and cleared just fine, so im sure the f-cam with the .512 lift will be just fine
