5.0 cam question

[kb426]

Does anyone know of a mild cam for efi 5.0 ford that has a healthy idle?I want to stay under 480 lift.

as i was thinking that there is a factory ford roller cam that came in cougars that had an idle that was not liked by the rebuilding people... too much rump rump rump.. for them.....


here is a pdf cam chart from ford racing... ...

Be careful & watch for something "computer friendly" to avoid "reprograming " issues..... :?
Just a thought....

The Comp cams 35 512 8 is very similar to a stock mustang gt cam. Whether it's worth the price or not, I don't know. The flow figures on the heads flat line after .4 lift. The stock springs will take about 480 before coilbind occurs. My thought was to get a narrow centerline cam but the efi experts say that it won't develop enough vacuum to run right. That's why the narrow ones are 112 and up. What I want my not be a reality. The explorer cam that's in there is pretty mild compared to a gt cam. I have access to a gt cam so if nothing better turns up, that's going to be the next step.
