Stock heads, stock valve train, stock intake and stock converter stall?.......aside it's lopey sound, overall performance will not improve.

You will have stalling issues if you don't bump up your converter to be able to adjust. For a good converter you're looking at $500 or more, and for what you have now that money could be better spent elsewhere.

honestly... do a t5 swap or a C4 if you NEED an auto

you'll be a full second faster on a 5-speed, i've had 6 mustangs and 2 of them were aod's, they break easy , rob power and are expensive

mark my words if you wanna be be a nay-sayer... you'll pay in the end fo shizzle

my friend in his 95gt put an f cam in his car. he lost 16rwhp over the stock cam. sure it had the lumpy idle but the car was slow as hell afterwards. everyone told him not to do it but he did it anyways.

for the money, the fcam is an ok turbo cam but thats about it

AODs can be decent if done right

as said before the cam will not benefit you with your application.

on a side note, if i absolutely had to go with a shelf cam in a mild street car i'd go with an Anderson Ford Fotorsport N-41
