Cam Help for 5.0

white90gt · 06-13-2007

I am building a 5.0 engine that isn't bored or stroked. I want to put a heads, cam, and intake combo together. I have a set of Edelbrock Performer heads (1.90 intake and 1.60 exhaust), BBK SSI intake w/ 70mm throttle body and fuel rails, and long tube headers and full exhaust out the back. Also, I have a set of comp cams 1.7 roller rockers. I need a cam that will be streetable w/ a five speed and compatible w/ nitrous and/or a supercharger. I want a little sound from the cam but not to the point where I have to rev the engine up to leave a stop light. The RPM range I want is somewhere around 6000 and it has to be a hydralic roller cam as well. Does anyone have any idea what is a good cam for my engine?

I personally like the Comp. 274HR. We had good luck with the same heads as yours,a cobra intake,and a F cam too. With a 200 shot it ran mid 10's consistantly,on a stock block. In a 93 notch.
