E303 cam help

Im in need of some help, i have a 94 f150 4x4 with the 5.0 HO. I recently did a gt40p head swap as well as rebuilt the motor and installed an e303 cam. The truck starts and runs but has a few problems. It tachs about 4000 rpms on first start, but gradually drops to an idle. Does anything else need to be changed/adjusted? I am running the stock upper and lower intake. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

That's a pretty wild cam for a truck that shuts off at 4700rpm ... I think you're going to need it to be dyno tuned..

Did you convert to Mass Air-Flow (MAF)? That cam is not designed to work on Speed Density.

My apologies...I did not see you had a 1994 truck...doh!

Definitely need to check for air leaks after the MAF meter.
