For a stock style set up I would go with the TFS stage 1 or the E-303. Stay away from any of the other alphabet cams. They will both give you that aggressive sound you speak of, exhaust willing.

me personally, I tried them all stay away from FMS old technology that hasn't changed in so many years... Better CAMS out there..

thanks.

I was thinking budget minded here. Either one of those will be fine with those heads. I agree with Emilio, when you do upgrade make sure that whatever you run will be for a long time and then go custom.

There are these ancient places called ups, fedex and usps that might help.

ok,i picked up both cams and some solid motor mounts for 108.00

a friend wants teh cam i am not going to use but told me to sell him the xcam he said he would give me 75.00 for the x. so i spent next to nothing for my parts.

 

[tkeinia]

oh yeah, the guy had an awsome gt, blue with a turbo, dynoed at @550.

Looks like you got a good deal then. The TFS cam would've been my choice out of those two also.

.... I hated the x303, I had it on a 306 build with w. senior heads and the car was okay at top end but i believe one of the best ford cams is the F303, It has nice low to mid range but doesnt take away to much from the top end.

the X303 is a good cam... you had to big of heads for a car to make good low end power... it sounds like you had more of a high RPM setup! the Seniors have what a 205cc intake runner... to big to have high velocity at low RPM on a N/A setup
