5.0 Cam
I would like to put a cam in my 95 F150, something torque, for towing. My truck is still EFI, and I dont want to put a ton of money into upgrades but I want some powe upgrades, mainly a cam, maybe some bigger injectors, and a straight exhaust. But not much more. I am up for some others, but I am looking for a good cam. Something with alot of low range torque. Thanks guys. Take care.

There is no getting "lots" of low rpm TQ out of a 5.0.. not without forced induction, it simply isn't enough motor for a heavy truck. To maximize TQ output you will need a 5.0HO intake, longtube headers, and 1.7 rockers on the stock truck cam, but it still won't produce anything close to the grunt a 5.8 would for example.

the best you will do is something around .480 lift.... because you are going to run EFI I would stick with motorsports and run a B cam.... and Conanski is right.... when youre talking 302.... your not talking torque...
