I have heard that putting a cam in a 94-95 5.0 gives it a bad idle. Is this true? I have a 95 5.0 from a truck with a trick flow cam: .498/.512 what can i expect when I start it over? Thanks

 

hehe changing the duration and lda of any cam in a motor will change the idle. the lift isnt that aggressive - but lift doesnt affect your idle. whats your duration and lda?

 

you can put a different computer from the 93 mustang in it to fix the rough idle problem

 

It's a bad thing that the 95 truck motor you have isn't a HO, but has the HO firing order and 185HP with stock cam.

 

Stock cam in the 5.0s aren't bad. Seen 10's with them before.

The Alphabet cams from Ford are more prone to idle problems. Steeda's #18 and #19 cams are supposed to be the best and no idle problems.

Don't need to do the A9L swap into the 94-95s anymore. That was done because nobody at the time could reflash/tune them. Now they can so get it reflashed or tuned. Best way to do it.
