Don't limit your cam selection to a Steeda #19, there are more performance oriented cams (if that's what you're after) that will also work well in a SN95. The SN95 = Steeda #19 only "conclusion", is way overrated. Also make sure the valve train is upgraded based on the cam requirements.

I don't think anyone ever implied the #19 was the only cam for SN95s, that's obviously not the case. However, it is a good cam for performance, boost, keeping the price down and working without bottom end modification so it has a lot of things going for it.

if you are going to get new tail lights get the 96-98 OEM lights. IMO they look a lot better than the 94-95 tail lights.

What I meant is the typical association between pseudo computer limitations in the SN95's to "handle" anything but a Steeda #19...... or...
