Default RE: cams and idles???

the lope or rumble that a cam gives the car. It kinda sounds like the idle is turned down, kinda like a harley idle-ing, sorry. I have stage 1s and there is a little bit of lope and shake to the car. The higher you go or more aggressive the cam, teh bigger the lope, sounds like the car is running rough. go to streetfire.com and listen to different cam vids and you will hear the difference.

Heres a good example for you of a VERY aggressive cam. Stages 3's in this kids 03 Cobra. Ive never heard anything like it in a mustang. Enjoy!
