Default 90 mustang 5.3 swap

workin on getting a 5.3 in my 90 hatch fox body and wanna do some minor motor upgrades before runnings it...what is a good cam to run in the ls motors, planning on running nos for this season then turbo set up over next winter? have herd about hot cams, ms3 and the trex cams but not sure on what ones are best suited for street/strip race type situation.

also i am looking for a wiring harness to get the motor to work with a th400, is there a company or reliable source where i can get one from? about how much do they run?

Welcome!! Always good to see another LS Mustang. Do a search in this section for Mustang and you'll find all the info you need.

Have any pictures of the car?

Sweet another ls fox.for the cam contact martin@tick performance.as far as trans wiring youll really only need the vss,but iirc youll have to use the dakota digital pass thru vss on a th400.there are other options but they are more expensive

The MS3 cam is working pretty well in my 5.3 can't really say how it compares to any others since that's the only cam I've run.
