best cam for L/SA 89 Mustang
 

I'm building a L/S 89 Mustang , now going with a C4, 4:30 gear. spool, 28'' tire. Trans builder wants to know cam specs . What would you think a good legal cam would be and who makes it ?

Comp Cams, Crane Cams, and Lunati already have a Mustang 5.0 stocker grind you can get. Bullett can make something very custom based on info you give them.

i'm working on a k or l 89 mustang also (total newb) and I spoke to the guys at bullet, who seemed very knowledgable and willing to help. Lunati was slow to respond, didn't seem like they were all that confident in picking the grind, and pretty pricey. I went with a cam from Ed Curtis at Flowtech - I just got it a few weeks ago and if you wanted to go with him my guess is he'd be in good shape to send you one b/c he just went thru this with me. I hope to be installing the cam in the block this weekend and degreeing it, checking ptv etc.


Good luck

Whatever the cam grinders recommend, make sure to verify that it's a full race cam, not 3/4 race. And tell them you're going to spray it. If you do that, it should make 800HP and you can still drive it on the street. :D

This is a stocker and we can not use spray

David,

What's a little spray among friend's.............?

You need to provide the NHRA specified lift information to whomever you are speaking to. Comp cams Chris Pagent or Bullet have been helpful for me. You have to deal with a specialist in our category or you will just get a person that sells to the general public.

I was kidding... guess it just wasn't that funny. I've always gotten a kick out of the Craigslist-type guys who describe their cars. Everything has a full race cam (whatever that is) and "NOS". They all make 800 horsepower, but are driven on the street.
