One of the guys here at work has a 1992 mustang 302. He is wanting to know which cam would be a better choice. He is looking at the B and the E cams from ford. It has headers and is a 5 speed car. Its street and we have emissions testing to deal with here. He has looked at the spec on both cams. But doesnt know which is better. And I'm a big block person so I dont know what to tell him....lol I said go for the lope....lol
So tell me what you guys think and I will pass it on.
Thanks
Bud

If it is stoned stock with nothing but headers I would not bother with either.
He'll realize more from a set of 1.7 rockers and will pass emissions.------------------

Trickflow Stage 1 is a very nice improvement over stock and does not have any drivability issues. Works very well with my combo. Ported E7s, shorties, stealth intake, and 670VS. I'm sure it would especially work well with the TFS heads. We don't have emissions testing around here so someone else will have to chime in on that aspect.[This message has been edited by RogueS (edited 02-04-2005).]
