Hey guys Its been a couple of years I think since I have been on here. I'm back in the mustang scene and have a 93 coupe now. It has a small cam and it stock after that. I am getting a 373 gear put in it this weekend. I'm looking for sound more than anything right now because I'm putting together a 351 with a little side money here and there.

Here is my question. I want to put the same kind of cam in this car that I had in my 85 coupe. A Trick Flow stage 2. It says it is not computer compatable. What do I need to do? Or do I need to do anything? What will it do if I just stick it in and go? Listed below are the spec's of the cam. Thanks for any help

If youre just looking for sound and an off the shelf cam, throw a tfs1 cam in there and lower the idle

I would have a cam ground that would compliment the other mods of the build

tfs2 is a lot of lift for a stock bottom end and you might wind up replacing bent valves afterwards
