      Anything with 302 firing order (and 351 firing order would probably be okay too with the CFI, EFI would require a little scewing around) will work. However, I'd be wary of any cam that only costs $63 brand new.

        I agree, I have my doubts that it has any kind of quality, or that it's even a good lobe profile.

        Using any kind of aftermarket CAM on a panther will require tuning. And using the 351 or HO firing order will also require an ECU change, not really feasible on a CFI.

            Firing order would be irrelavent with CFI, it could care less. Its only got 2 injector drivers, so it wont really matter. Feeding enough fuel to make it actually run is a totally different story, and having the correct manifold vacuum to get it to run halfway correctly is another matter. CFI is engine vacuum dependant just like a SEFI engine, so changes to the duration will mess it up. Also, the CFI manifold and heads don't flow for crap so it really wont matter too much what cam you put in there, its not going to really perform. The heads aren't the most horrible things on earth but that intake sucks.

              The lobes are probably copies of a Crane or a Comp cam. Id bet that they are cast and machined in China using materials of unknown quality and origin. Id run a stock cam over one of those.

                Bingo. I paid over $500.00 for the cam in the Capri, but it was worth every penny. You get what you pay for camshaft-wise.

                  Wouldn't that be a bitch to have a camshaft snap in the middle of a track run because it was made improperly.

                    Yes, I'm thinking that would seriously suck.

                      I spent about 250 bucks on my cam.
