Cam suggestions

[DarkknightGT]

Something simple today. Got a 1995 5.0 mustang and want some cams suggestions. I dont really plan on doing anything to it and want more of sound with a slight power increase. Keeping stock computer, heads, intake, everything (I may port heads and intake, no idea yet). It's a cruiser, not a racer. Just wanna be clear on that.

Good slightly choppy idle yessir

the b303 ford cam has a nice chop to it

 

[RAU03MACH]

the computer can still manage the engine idle is just a little rough but still manageable
it would use a little more fuel

just a sample of a b303 cam and some other mods

Would you say it would be a better choice than the steeda 19? I was looking into the b cam too, that car sounds beautiful with that cam I will say.

that steeda cam is not bad
i wanted a bit of chop to mine

As far as street manners is it a good cam would you say? This car is probably gonna stay bone stock and I want as little issues as possible. Would you recommend a tune or is it pretty good if I don't tune it?

here is the steeda cam not to much differenc

That and your car are the kind of chop I'm looking for to be honest. That steeda one doesnt sound too bad though!

no matter what cam of these 2 there will be little issues but the computer with self adjust
no need for a tune or major engine upgrades
porting heads will improve both cams

just keep in mind steeda sole those cam specs from ford

Enlighten me sir, I'm curious. Because i know they're specifically designed for our year of stangs but never knew this.

Awesome! I'm kinda trying to find the next thing to do to this car, I got the trans in so now its just fun stuff now for it haha

like you said they sound closely alike ford has had this cam out since 1988 the start of Ford Motor sports then ford racing
i know a lot of cam companies got the specs when ford released the patents lobe specs
just a bunch copycats

 

[RAU03MACH]

most of the guys back then were changing the firing orders
i did it on my 92 50 gt

Oh yeah, me being an idiot and forgetting about that ford made the letter cams first... they just slightly tweak it slightly so they can SAY its different

everyone copies ford

Amen. Also apparently the wires were crossfiring. I think thats what's causing my slight miss at idle and the blackened plugs. Just thought you'd know since we originally thought we had oil, then it turned out to be fuel smell.
