    Most of the time, the CAM you choose is where you want to be not necessarily where you are now.


    GSMC#10 (Got Stang? Midnight Crew)
    GSBMC#10 (Got Stang? Black Mustang Crew)

    I believe the Steeda will sound ....lopier (if thats a word. lol) I think the TFS will make a little more power. Honestly there close enough that the only way to know would be try both.

    I personally like Comp cams a XE 268 would be a good choice Ford letter cams were developed many years ago not a good choice. I like most of your build parts i have the same Zex NOS kit part#82015 lots of fun just make sure u have a safe tune and window switch i found out the hard way, i havent even got my NOS tune yet with my 333ci Stroker even the smallest jet a 75HP one in my kit puts me close to block splitting numbers!. Good Luck with build!!
    something to consider down the road a good set of heads AFRs or Eldelbrocks great choice large HP gains over GT40 heads

    That whole line are awesome cams. I had the 274 in the 347. I have the NX282 Going back in my 331. Definately consider heads. From my experience TW's are about the best that work on a stock shortblock. I gain qiute a bit going from AFR 165'5 to them. Your limited on cam size though.
