Hi, I'm new to this forum so please bear with me. I recently bought a 1994 Cobra and need help or information on idle problem. First off it has a DSS
short block with new AFR165 heads. Car has 1-5/8 Mac headers,Mac cold
air,stock throttle body and stock Maf sensor. Now for the cam. It has a
Anderson Motorsport B-31 cam. It has 270-280 advertised duration and
218-228 at.050 with .544 lift with 1.6 rockers. Car runs excellent at part or full throttle. The anderson website states this cam to be a 2600-6200 rpm cam. Car still has stock computer chip also. I would love to leave cam in the engine but I want a better idle characteristics. Car is never raced, so drivability is my main concern. What, if anything can be done to get this car to idle better at say 800-850 without changing the cam. Please point me in the right direction to cure this problem. Love the car, just want a better idle.
Motor has 500 miles on it. I bought the car from Darin Robertson from the Corral website so some of you may know the car. He went by the name of
FastH20.

Thanks to everyone,
Buck

From what I remember the 94-95 5.0 cars were notorious for idle problems.
If you want to keep the cam then I would suggest going with a shop that has access to a chip burner and get them to do some work for you.
