Steeda #19 cam is awesome, no complaints so far, and Adder's price is really good.

I have to agree w/stangman94. Putting the cam on my 95 GT automatic really woke it up, especially after the heads and intake was done. I did have a slight problem with the hunting and surgingidle. I justlet the car warm up at 2000rpm for 3 minutes and it runs fine. The Steeda 19 works great too. However I heard it doesn't have that classy lope to it. Make sure you get a stall converter to help that auto.

Sounds to me like the steeda cam is pretty popular. How much is that one?

The plan is to supercharge the car eventually and it will be dailydriven. Speaking of blowers, what blower should I be looking at. I am leaning towards the vortech v2SQ strimblower, but I would like to hear what some of you have as far as heads and intake with that blower. Any suggestions as to a set of heads that would match up well?

Thanks for your info on the cams, sounds like I'll be going with the steeda #19.

Thanks again.

I was going to get a custom grid camshaft from cam motion. However, when i read all of the good reviews about the steeda #19 cam for the 95gt. I decide to go withthat camshaft, not having to deal with all of the idle and computer problems. The steeda #19 camshaft works great with my setup. I would have like to see how the custom grind camshaft would have worked, but i'm also very happy with what i have.

Money is not an object at this point, and it won't be in the future. I still want it to be a drivable car though.

hear is how its was put to me when i was looking for my setup esp. "the heads". that the airflow was the best out the box heads of them all. i know there someone who going to disagree. the performer rpm was next on my list and the holley and trickflow would been next. far as camshafts go the steeda #19 seemed to be the best fix for the 94/95 because of the 115* lobe separation. i can amen that because it workout well for me. next would have been a custom grind cam if i haven't ran acrossit. intakes i think the holley systmaxII. simply because all the guys i respect down here live by them and edelbrock rpm would next. for as the top end go thats my suggestion.
