yea small cam stock bottom. e cam f cam. anything more you will have a dog of a car. even with the f cam your not gonna get the most out of it without sacrificing drivable, and power. I'm not a cam expert, but i would add at least a cobra intake with the e cam forget about the f cam altogether...

I think mustang helper was talking about the e-303 cam from Ford Racing, and I agree. Or you can get something with similiar specs to the e-303.

I would get a trickflow stage 1 cam. They provide great power , sound and dont have a narrow power range like ford letter cams.

I second the TFS Stage 1. It's enough cam to support cylinder heads and intake, but not so much that it won't work with the stock stuff. Another plus of the TFS cam is that is dual pattern, where it has slightly more exhuast duration and lift, this helps pull the intake charge into the cylinders.

Is your car an 86? non mass-air? Or is it an 85 with a carb?
