2001 Cobra Cam choice help

[na svt]

Hey guys i'm new here. Im wondering what approach I should take for 4v cams in my Cobra. I've picked up some comp beehive springs and retainers. But I dont feel like spending the 1200 for the cams, stage 2 or stage 3? Im naturally aspirated and what do you believe would be the best approach and brand to go with? This is a daily driver but not highway cruiser. I want around maybe 50rwhp dyno tune gain when done? Thanks

Sell the springs and retainer and get some Comp 106100s or 106060s. They'll add 40rwhp over the stock cams without a significant loss of tq.

Referring to cams in "stages" will get you nowhwere. "Stages" are a marketing ploy and the specs vary greatly. For example:

-Comp doesn't sell "stage" cams
-Crower stage 3s are 228/232, .484"
-Lunati stage 3s are 237/237, .550"

PSRI "Ported Short Runner Intakee". Nazman did mine originally....i'm not sure who makes it anymore.

I do.

I do.

Still? I thought you were done with them.

Still? I thought you were done with them.

I have a couple in work that I need to finish and then I'm done...well, after the one going on my car.

I dont need the new springs and retainers for the cams? How much do you believe I could get for the springs and retainers after they were only idled in a car for a few mins? As well as stock 01 heads and cams. With one head needing a cam guard and no timing chain on it. Just curious. Thanks!

- Springs and retainers $300
- Heads/cams-$350

Comp Cams 106060s, 106100s, 106160s, and 106200s can use the stock springs.

When you say "cam guard" are you taliking about the cam cap?

 

[Hunter9003]

Yes sir. The timing chain broke on one head resulting in breaking the cam cap. Thanks again everybody. Where's a good place for me to still these? Just craigslist?

 

[na svt]

Get what?

 

[Hunter9003]

Sell*

 

[na svt]

You could sell them here in the market section.

 

[Hunter9003]

Are you positive I can use the stock springs and retainers with the comp 106100 and 106060? Says I need aftermarket in description?

I'm using tho's cams with stock springs

 

[Hunter9003]

Thanks. You guys are the best. Im about to sell those springs and retainers Friday

 

[Darkc0bra]

Sop both sets you can buy off of AM can use stock springs and retainers from what i am reading right?

 

[Hunter9003]

Idk if they sell them on AM but yes because they are mild enough I believe

 

[skyeking]

are after market springs necessary if i put on 106300 comp cams? 01 cobra

 

[na svt]

Yes

Since this thread was brought back from the dead let me ask this... 106060 or 106100 would be best for a street driven bolt on car? I and seen so much conflict on this.

 

[Martin6107]

I have 106060's with intakes set to 110. Low end torque is much better than stock cams. I am very happy with them.

 

[na svt]

the 060s are a much better DD cam set. As far as conflict, there isn't any.
