Eng modds

Hi folks,Long time no post,I am looking for some ideas.I have a 1990 f150 e/c short box.302 aod trans.I mainly use this truck for hauling my boat and car trailer around.It only has 134000 Kilos on it.It runs and drives like a new truck,But!!! Not quite enough power at times when hauling the car trailer over the mountains.Here are some of the modds I was thinking of.Converting it to mass air with cold air intake,long tube headers with true duals free flowing exhaust,gt40 heads,373 gears in the back,shift kit in the tranny for towing,This is where I need some ideas,what is a good cam for this set up.I don't think an rv type cam is not quite enough for these modds.I think I need a little more cam than that.What are your thoughts? Thanks

http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/show...ht=timing+bump A CAI w/o the MAF conversion is a no-no for your engine! The link's for an Ignition upgrade, plug gap stretch & base timing bump. Simple, inexpensive, easy! You'll forget all about a Cam mod, but a MAF conversion is always a great idea!
