It has to do with vacuum at idle; here is what Steeda says:5.0wned said:Ok here is what I dont get. What makes those cames computer compatible? I ask this because some people say stay away from the E cam because it can act up with the computer. But if you look at the specs on the E-303 and the Crane 2040 they are IDENTICAL. Does anyone know why one woudl be better for the computer then the other one? Or are the maybe just BSing? Wouldnt the 2031 be too much lift?
I think think the lift starts getting iffy around .530 lift so the 2031 should be okay, but you always should check. Just incase you dont know, the Crane 2031 specs are with 1.7 rockers, not with 1.6 like most cam specs are listed.Steeda proudly offers the #19 Cam, similar to the popular #18 Cam, but with a slightly wider lobe separation angle for better vacuum at idle which is required by the more sensitive 94-95 Mustang processor. This cam features a split pattern which favors the exhaust side, and a wide 115° lobe separation for low overlap, making it an excellent choice for supercharged engines.

d_punch said:the statement that you have to pull half your engine off to swap cams is false.
you don't even have to pull the heads off. with some aftermarket intakes you don't even have to take those off as long as you can take the valve covers off.
look here, download the instructions, it tells you how to use their tool. http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.com/new_products/tappettools.htm
i have a 2031 cam, it's specified to be used with 1.7 rockers, i believe the 2030 cam is the same if not similar but uses 1.6 rockers
IMHO i don't think it's worth the time and money to swap out a cam and still keep the stock heads. buts its your time and money not mine, if thats what you want to do by all means do it.
i do have a reoccuring idle issue since the cam install, i did get it straighten out once, but once you disconnect the CAI or disconnect the battery it starts all over again. and i just don't have the time or patience to deal with it right now.
but what ever you decide, good luck
I see what you're saying, the funny thing is Summit Racing calls the E303 computer compatible...5.0wned said:OnyxCobra said:It has to do with vacuum at idle; here is what Steeda says:5.0wned said:Ok here is what I dont get.

That makes sense to me. I was wondering more about the crane 2040 though. Check it out all the specs even the LS degree is equal so thats why I was curious. http://store.summitracing.com/compa...0+4294887637+4294887636+4294840126+400078+115 I understand about the steeda now though thanks.
