1995 f150 5.0l 250k miles. 4r70w freshly rebuilt tranny. Sorry for the grammar stupid phphone. Ok I got a 35-314-8 compcam for a little of next to nothing. I got my heads off(e7te),awaiting to order springs,keepers,retainers nd locks from compcam for about 200$ shipped. I am well awarei need a stall. I have Maf so I know I will need to upgrade maf sensor nd injectors in the future. My question is the camshaft too big for my application. Have shortly headers,3:73 Trac LOC. No cats,egr,timing bumped, e fan, New TPS,IAC,neutral switch ,02 SENSOR. PLANNING ON SOME AFR'S AND PEDESTAL ROLLER ROCKERS. CONANSKI PLEASE CHIME IN

 

Yes too much for a 5.0 truck IMO... a good choice for a 408 with heads that flow twice as much as E7s. Sell it and get a 35-512-8 or 35-349-8. Also.. you don't have 3.73 gears unless you installed them yourself.. that's not a factory option.

 

Yes I installed 3:73s had 3:08 open originally. If I do decide to go with this cam what sort of problems will I encounter? Can u enlighten me as to why this would be the wrong cam for me? Thanks. I know your knowledge and wisdom won't fail me

 

So I was looking over The 2 cams you recommended I see neither require a bigger stall. What kind of power will it produce over the stock cam. I also failed to mention tht I replaced the engine from a 92 f150 non H.O firing order being that I need the 5.8 firing order because my computer. So that brought upon this cam swap. I want it to sound lopey. Which would be the best out of the 2. My Apologies for the grammar.

 

Good move but you should have gone to 4.10 or better depending what size tires the truck has.

Forget what the specs say, with this cam in a 5.0 in a heavy truck you won't have any useful torque below 3500rpm so it'll need 5.xx gearing and a high stall.. and a built transmission to survive the abuse. Is that really what you want?

 

Over a stock '92 cam.. hugh gains even with the stock heads.

Everybody wants a lopey idle but that requires a cam that puts the powerband way up at the top end of the tach. The XE264HR does have a bit of a noticable idle but nothing too radical, it does make tons more power though so I doubt you'll be disappointed.

 

DI'm running 235/75/15. I'm considering the cam u mentioned. Will a dumb bowtie know I'm cammed at a stoplight or will u have to really listen to it And anything will be an improvement over that 92 cam. I knowmy mpg went down hill since the swap(original block locked up due to broken oil pump. Were it bolted up). Tranny really doesn't like anything above 3:55. How could I correct that? I figured since I got the top end open might as well do an Aftermarket cam instead of the factory spec 95 truck cam. Instead of dishing out $650+ on a tc drop in the roller rockers nd springs to match the cam. That will hold me over till I get a nice pair of heads.

 

What do you mean by that?

 

I read that's The highest ratio that you can put on this 4r70w and keep computer in. Sync. Must be placebo effect,but I can feel the gears dropping on certain cruise speed then it will shift up. Did it like that after and before Trans rebuild. I believe something about the vss or some sorts. Correct me if I'm wrong

 

That's web nonsense, gear ratio has no affect on transmission operation at all, speed input is very important but that's only affected by tire size on this vintage truck and if you haven't changed from the stock size you got nothing to worry about. All shifting is computer controlled in this truck based on engine load, vehicle speed, and throttle position, so as long as there are no problems in the system(codes) it'll do what it was programmed to do.
