The steeda cam doesn't have quite an aggressive duration or lift, but it's supposed to be better than the alphabet cams because it has more lift on the exhaust end, which our cars like, as opposed to being identical for intake and exhaust. The #19 also has a slightly wider lobe separation to help reduce idle problems on 94-95 cars. If you don't have a 94-5 and still want the steeda, you can go with the #18.

How can a mustang shop compare any OTS cam to a camshaft that hasn't been designed yet?
