Default Cam change for years?

did the 96+ DOHCs have different cams? much like the 96+ SOHCs. or did they keep the DOHC unchanged in terms of cams and top end?

just from my experience the 95 DOHC always wants to idle rough when its cold and seems to have more topend power
98-99 have a higher lift, which is usually better
so what about 95's? whats the specs on those?

Where did you get this info from?

AFAIK, only the SOHC camshafts are different.

thats what i thought too
the 95's had the bigger rough idling cam, 96+ was more mild, and DOHC were all the same supposedly.
