Modified 5.0 cam question

[MyFast5.0]

Hey all, I have a 95 mustang gt with a ford racing crate motor. As of now It has a ford racing E-cam. I have to get the motor taken out for a few repairs and id like to up the cam size. Id like to know what the absolute biggest cam I could fit in my car is without having to check piston to valve clearance. I have GT-40 Aluminum heads and 1.7 rockers. Any input is helpful. I want the most aggresive cam out there....thanks!

Why do you want something bigger?

The E Cam is not a bad cam.

You could swap to something else and I would bet you wouldn't notice a power difference.

Imnot woried about adding more power. I was that lope, I was to intimidate, my car is fast enough and has enough power it the sound im going for. Any suggestions?

If you want lope, and are really willing to do the work of swapping a cam then look at the thumpr cams from comp.

They are designed around lope.

Which gt40 aluminum heads? X or Y? What size valves? What are your springs rated to? Willing to change the springs? There are a lot of factors here...

checking PTV takes like... 20 minutes once the cam is in the motor... dont puss out... get something big and check PTV
