I have a 93 f150 with 302 and was wondering if theres anything i can do to give it a choppy idle sounds like a hot rod.

 

- That's all in the Cam @ idle, but the more she's built, the better she sounds.

 

I was told i cant put a performance cam in my motor because it doesnt have a MAF sensor.

 

Pull a couple plug wires.

 

or 3

 

thats not totally true. it depends on the cam. you cant go too serious with the cam with the stock tune. but you can get it tuned for it. i think the custom computer chips are able to tune it and they are easy to install. just unhook the neg battery cable and pull the ebrake bracket off(3 nuts, 1/2" socket i believe) and there is a little opening in the back of the computer for the chip. superchips has the custom chips and i think hypertech does them now. that or you can get it dyno tuned for it. my trucks got a jasper class 1 performance engine(just a little bit bigger cam) and i have a speed density system too with the stock computer and a hypertech chip(not the custom one though, that will be later on). no problems here.

and i've seen a guy unplug his iac and drill the hole in the throttle plate bigger(so it stays running) to get it to idle lower to try to get a similar sound

 

there are conversions for running a MAF on your truck



you can always go to long tubes, an H-pipe and flowmaster mufflers for a choppy sounding idle compared to what it now but nothing will replace a cam sound
