A good Camshaft for my 1989 lx

I was wondering what a good camshaft would be for my 1989 2.3lx. I was looking for a idle and still be a daily driver. Thanks

Yeah no problem! Here you go;

Roller cams are more expensive than the flat tappet type but they are the best choice for any mustang, hands down. Over time, a flat tappet cam will end up costing you more in maintenance and replacement parts.

sweet horse power but how much would it cost to buy the part andput it in?

Well for the cam and the other stuff you need (springs etc.) it's like 450-500 for the one metioned earlier. Then maybe 5-6 hours of work to put it in really it's not all the complicated. JUST MAKE SURE THE TIMINGS RIGHT!
