The 94-95 Mustangs are real sensitive to cam changes, if it works great on a 89-93 mass air car, it may not have the same idle quality on the 94-95 5.0. I have found that sometimes the only permanent fix is to make sure the cam has at least a 114 degree lobe seperation angle. All of the Motorsport cams are 112 degree lobe seperation. The stock 94-95 has a 115 degree lobe seperation. That is why Steeda offers 2 versions of their cams. Everything the same except for the lobe seperation for the 94-95 cars. The idle and throttle responce is truely better with the 114 degree lobe seperation angle on the 94-95 cars. Also you will notice that a lot of turbo and supercharger cams (read EFI)have a 114 degree lobe seperation angle (unless it is a high rpm race engine) because there is less tendency to blow boost out the exhaust valve from the inherent overlap caused by the 112 degree cams. Now that is not to say that everyone has had a problem, it is just a real good fix for those who are tired of trying to adjust around it.
