i might be wrong but i dont think that cam would be right on a stock bottom end. too much lift, maybe a piston notching would be in order. and you wouldn't benefit much from it without a different set of heads and a new intake manifold kit. jmo though

+1. i was waiting for somebody to notice that.lol. and also..94 & 95 mustang computers dont like cam changes very much. unless you buy a cam that is computer friendly. i'mnot sure wich ones are so hopefully someone else will chime in.

I understand your frustration, ive driven a 1995 gt 5.0 and it feels very slow .

Save up $700-$1000 more dollars and get a used supercharger setup.

I was at the Ford Dealership, 4 years ago and drove 2 , a black and a silver, ****tttty interiors 1-99k the other 110k.

I asked the salesman what was going on, i mean I floor the dam thing and im not moving nowhere.

They told me the computers of the 1994, 1995 are less aggressive and smoother performing than the fox, 5.0's for emission purposes.

Not to mention, they dont want to run right when you mod em up.


and all that mess in the engine bay lol, alot of stuff in there that I dont believe is necessary, and the stock headers look fugly, []



nothing a top end kit and tune couldnt handle though, but hey they wanted $7,000 , too much for too little

do a set of gears, it'll feel like 75 hp, a more lift will be like 5 hp

then save for heads or nitrous , the 3 best performance gains dollar for dollar are in this order:

1. gears
2. nitrous
3. heads

and i can throw in sticky tire in there too, cuz when you get gears you need to put a sticky tire on it, and then you can actually use the hp you have.
