I guess that would depend on a million other variables. If you've got a 12 second blown 305, then no. If it's bone stock, then that cam will be a big improvement over stock.

If you car is bone stock, the cam isn't the first thing to change. Exhaust (headers/cat back) & intake (K&N's/Airbox) is where to start. The cam won't do much good with the restrictive stock manifolds & exhaust.

No kidding. The Goodyear SV-50 (or whatever the hell it's called) that came on your car is old-school technology. Newer tires are better and aren't going to look the same. For whatever reason, the newer Mustangs still come with that crap tire tho. :sillylol:
