I know its been asked about 1000 times, but I am deployed and my rock star internet takes about 10 minutes to load a page, so its frustrating to say the least. I havent been able to find a thread with all my all of my answer yet, but have only loaded about 5 or 6 posts so far, so i figured i would just ask, so i only have to open 1 thread. 
Most threads i've found talk about over all power gains, and head swaps at the same time. Niether of which are my concern.
My wife and I just picked up a 1994 Cobra for her to have a toy. Its my 5th 5.0 mustang(85 GT, 89 LX, 94 Cobra, 94 GT), but her first. Its mostly stock, with just drop springs, FRPP shorty headers, bassanni catted x-pipe and flowmaster catback. It does have 144,000 miles, but is honestly the cleanest cobra i've come across. Much nicer than my old one, with only 88,000 on it.
Anyways, she remembers my old cobra and wants a similar idle and such. My old cobra had an e-cam to start with a KB but had a regular 5.0 motor with e7 heads. I detonated #7 and replaced the motor with a forged shortblock and GT40p heads and an x-cam. So she wants it sound something like that car. Power is not the end goal, drivability and sound are. I want a cam i can install and not sweat having it tuned. Without going to 1.6 rockers what are my options? I am ok with an alphabet cam again if need be, but am willing to look at other optiosn. I was planning on upgrading valve springs at the same time as the cam swap. other than the cam, already listed mods, and some 3.73's the car wont be getting any other mods. We already have a fastish rig at home(low low 12 second lightning), and dont need two. It wont be a daily driver, just a sunny day windows down cruiser. Thanks for any info guys.
