ford racing F-303 camshaft

Hey guys...I've found a good deal on a used f-303 cam, and I was trying to figure out if It would be too much for my current setup.
  The 302 in my tbird has:
  *comucams 2040 cam, .498 intake and exaust lift with my crane 1.6 roller rockers, and 220 degrees of duration at .050
  * ported, gasket matched and polished with hogged out bowls Et7e heads with stock sized valves that are unshrouded.
  * will have a explorer upper and lower intake(have to install)
  *BBK equal length headers.
  *65mm throttle body
 All these parts will be transfered to a 351W  this summer. Well, exept for the headers.
The F303 has these specs: .512 intake and exaust lift with 1.6 rockers
 226 degrees of duration at .50
 
  The AOD in my tbird has a 2400 to 2600 stall speed, but I'll have a five speed in hopefully by may. I plan on getting a set of gt-40 or world products iron heads. Anybody have any input?

The F-cam will actually see it's powerband sooner than it would in a 302 due to extra incoming air from displacement alone.
I also see by your sig you've done the mass air swap so you shoudn't have the idle issues the Ford alphabet cams normally give to speed density equipped cars.

That cam should work nicely in a 351.  It will actually see it's powerband sooner than it would in a 302 due to extra incoming air from displacement alone.  You should be satisfied...I also see by your sig you've done the mass air swap so you shoudn't have the idle issues the Ford Motorsport cams give to speed density equipped cars.

Finally a response! Thanks Paul...
