Finally after like two months of waiting i was able to acquire the money and put the cams in, a long with a new cam gear kit!! When i picked it up and turned it on and i was speechless. The car did not get tuned so i must have stalled like ten times on the way home. i do have a diablo predator programmer so i was able to program the car to idle at 800 rpms so it wont turn off on me. The car feels great!! I cant wait till im able to get it dyno tuned!! I'm curious to see what i'll dyno at!!!! Anyone have any ideas or advice on what i can do till i can get it dynoed? as far as tuning it myself with the programmer or should i leave it alone? Do cars usually run lean or rich when a cam is installed? I have a 1999 mustang gt 5sp

From what Ive read, stage 1's are good for 20-25rwhp with a power band of 1500-6100. Probably run .3-.4 better in the 1/4 and trap about 3-4mph higher.

Awsome man . Your going to love evry second of it. Ill say somewhere in the 270s if you dont have LT headers.

One word of advice would be to get LTs....I mean it SERIOUSLY wakes the car up, especially with cams. It ALMOST feels like adding cams all over again haha.
