Anyone running these cams yet??

I know it's not an 03' Cobra, but my 00'R's cams are .512 int and .480 exh. Let me tell you there is nothing like hearing a mod motor with a good healthy dose of rumpty rump, especially when it's ran through flowmasters!!
Those cams listed for S/C applications look like they are right on the money for a blower set-up, but is $1,000 for the cams and another $1,000 for the labor to have them put in really worth 50-75hp, knowing all the other great goodies that you guys can put on your cars?? I guess it is just a matter of personal choice!!

Inner belt
My buddy has a centrifugal supercharger. I don't know which brand he is using, but it utilizes some sort of inner-belt drive and that belt keeps trashing on him. I like reliability. I'll stick with the roots/twin-screw style blowers. I notice his seems more temperature sensitive, as well. I'm not saying ours are great performers in the heat, but his really loses power on those 96% humidity, 98-degree days.

OH YES,.....my 97 has cams/heads. Drivability SUCKS! My 03 makes 1/3 more torque and drives like stock. I ain't gonna screw wit ha good thing.
Yeah, you all are right. No need to crack open the motor. Our stock cams do the job well. Maybe when something breaks and the heads need to be pulled might be a good time to toss some big cams in. But still, that would sound bad ass!
I only post ed my opinion on this matter, as I agree there are many other things you can do to the car to get power out of it, but in my case I am running out of things to do to the car, and I am going for one of the most extreme daily driven 03 cobras. I have a KB 30+ lbs. of boost, longtubes, exhaust NOS, hardened half shafts, and about anything else you can name for thses cars, I am just taking my time and enjoying the modding process, This winter I will do the cams and something hopefully with the heads as well, I am already to the point where I am maxxing out the 55lb injectors and now it is time to go to low Imp. injectors, so I will most likely just throw a whole DFI setup in the car why I am at it, remeber this is my daily driver to go along with my harley, which will have a KB shortly as well. I just posted my views on the cams as I am running out of things to do to the car. That I feel would net any gain, Cams just seem logical to replace on my quest for more POWER. I may indeed be nuts but I am not going to stop till I am statisfied.
HAVEEIGHT,
Hate to break it to you, but you'llnever be satisfied!

You ARE nuts. Wish I had the ability to toss caution to the wind and try things out. Why not go for it and see what results. Keep us posted. I'd love to hear an 03 with cams.

Trust me I will go for it as you put it. I will be satisfied at some point and time, rightaround a 1000 rwhp on the bottle guessign like 108 lb injectors DFI, and a little NOS to boot.
Haveight,
Wanna sell those 55LB injectors that are on your car>??? Mine is at JDM too and I need some injectors. If ya wanna work something out let me know. Thanks, -Mat-

It broke half way through the dyno the darm plastic coupler broke or melted or disengrated something like that but at 3800 rpms like high, high 500's, and mid 600's in Trq, as soon as it is tuned I will post and let everyone know.:thumbsup:
what plastic coupler?
f you are to remove the snout on the eaton or the KB there is a plastic peice that goes on the snout that alllow the snout to be turned by the rotor packs in the blower itself without this piece it just turns freely and can spin in circles all day with no resistance what so ever .
like a plastic gear? ... that seems odd unless it's there to break first before something else does like a fuse.
I am not sure if I understand. This peice should not be removed correct? From what you said, it sounds like you are saying if someone takes it off there is no more resistance? Or are you just saying that it will spin freely, meaning, the rotor packs will no longer be able to spin it?
Did you take it off or something?
