Question what cam??

I have a 93 f150 5.0 maf, the truck is lifted with 35 tall tires and 4:56 gears. K&N FIPK, throtle body spacer and underdrive pulleys. Long tube headers, high flow cats and 2 1/2 flow master super 40's.ES6E heads getting some work done to them not change just gasket match and stuff. What cam would be good for some low end torque with littel rumble in idle.

I seriously hope you're gonna hog out the exhaust ports.. otherwise it's a waste of labor.

Do you have a roller motor? If so look at the Comp cams 35-349-8 or 35-510-8.

Those cams are H.O. cams. I know I have to change the fireing order but what about injector order, necessary? and how? Stock ECU ok to run that or change to 5.0 H.O. ECU??

Is your truck factory MAF or was it added? If factory I think it'll already be using the HO firing order, but if not you will want to move 4 injector wires to produce the HO firing order. The computer connector comes apart so this isn't a hugh problem.

The motor in the truck is roller, and just because it has maf does not mean its running H.0. firing order. It's a normalk 302 FI.

Yes it should be if it's all original. How are the plugs wired now?

Your right it is 5.0. H.O. firing order. Sorry when did they change that. So any H.O. cam would work good.
