I have an 87 mustang that was originally a 4, then swapped into a 5.0. It is the Mass air 5.0 with for motorsports E Cam, ford racing roller rockers, 373 gears, BBK CAI, and headers and exhaust. I was a bike guy before and am just getting into American Muscle. I understand that with a Cam the engine will idle low and have that clunking out sound to it. my concern is it drops real low and the oil pressure gauge when the car warms up shows the oil pressure dropping all the way, when this happens the car really sounds like its going to conk out. Any suggestions, if this is normal or maybe just needs some tuning. Thanks

Jay
