Cam Question
Hi all-
306 Roller Block, GT40P Heads with Mild Port. FMX Transmission. Stock stall.
Going into 1985 2wd Ranger. 25" diameter tires. 3.55 rear.
I had been planning to go with a stock Mustang HO camshaft and keep the stock stall.
Before I pull the trigger on the purchase, would the E303, B303, or TFS1 provide substantially better performance with the above setup with daily driver type use?
Use is going to be majority stoplight to stoplight in a small town. No track time.
Under 2500rpm, will I just be looking at sluggish performance, or will it be enough to be an annoyance driving around a parking lot looking for a space?
Thanks in advance!

A 5.0 makes best power between 2500-5000rpm unless it's equipped with a "stage1" cam like the Ford Alphabet or TFS cams where it becomes useless below 3000rpm.
