Default The sound of a cam without a cam

Theres this mechanic and he works on mustangs and one day he told me and myfriend to leave his 93 in his shop for fifteen minuets and when we came back the car sounds like it has a cam!! it sounds so bad *** does anybody know what he did or have you done this to your 5.0? we asked him and he wont tell us what he did to the car the only thing he told me is that he didnt advance the cam and what he did was trick the computer into thinking its getting more air than it should and it cant find a correct idle, it revs alot quicker than it did, he claims no one knows about it does anybody know how this is done?

you can "insta-cam" your 4.6 by unplugging the maf

not sure how he made a stock 93 lope aside from giving it a vac leak
