Re: best cam for L/SA 89 Mustang
What started out as an interesting, news worthy thread kinda took a wrong turn.

Re: best cam for L/SA 89 Mustang
Whatever cam you try, be careful to check piston to valve clearance, especially intake as there is more or less room depending on what piston you use. If you have a quality stocker piston w/ valve reliefs in the right place and angle, no problem most choices. If you are using factory stock or low buck cast pistons, valve clearance is way less forgiving. Let your clay be your guide!

Re: best cam for L/SA 89 Mustang
Make sure your piston is above the deck by at least .001

Re: best cam for L/SA 89 Mustang
It is a rule that you will not find in the rule book but one for which you can get disqualified if they tear down your engine. I know of a racer a few years back who got bounced for it and was using a bone stock bottom half. The '88 Mustang 5.0 is spec at .0135 above the deck along with a .041 gasket so you have to be at least .001 above and then you can use a thinner gasket.

Alex,
That spec is in the engine blueprints. It shows like Bobby pointed out 0.0135ab. Sean
