Default Right Cam For Me?

Hello fellow members I drive a 1995 mustang gt and I have no clue which cam to get. I heard that the 1995 gt computers are very finicky to cam swaps. So I need all you opinions on what cam to get. I was looking at the Anderson b-31 N20 cam or the FRPP E-303 cam. I a looking to keep some of my idle lol. Here are the following mods i have.

Edelbrock performer heads 1.90/1.60
Edelbrock performer intake mani
70mm TB
80mm MAF
FRpp headers
Full magnaflow exhaust
4.10 gears
5 spd t-5
Frpp underdrive pullies

Which cam would be better for my setup E-303 or anderson b-31?

Get the Steeda #19 camshaft. Computer-friendly for 94 - 95 GTs and isn't too expensive.

Here's a video of what it sounds like on a 95 GT with exhaust. Ignore the whistle of the S/C...unless you have one that is

If you're installing a flat tappet cam then you'll wanna install new tappets or lifters, valve springs and retainers. If it's a roller cam, '85 you don't really have to change the lifters until 40,000 miles unless the lifters show wear, but it may be a good idea anyway since you're already there.

Just make sure you use the right type of lifters or tappets for your cam. And it's very important to use prelube before installing flat tappets cams. If you're putting a roller cam in, you can just use a generous amount of oil and you should be okay. But it wouldn't hurt to use prelube anyway.
