I have a 03 Cobra, Full exhaust, E85, Vmp around 21-22 pds. Was thinking of ordering some cams. Anyone here have a similar set up? Worth the $$, and of course the sound? Thanks

Custom cams is where the gains are! I had my 26k miles stock motor with a 3.3 lysholm on 22lbs and e85- made 720/614 on 22 degrees timing, this combo also had 1-5/8 mac headers and borla stinger catback.

After lifting the driverside head, I did bullet custom baby cams (220-222 with 425 lift degreed to a 109) arp head studs, 1-7/8 arh headers, full 3inch exhaust, and swapped to a smaller pulley. With boost drop I was making 23lbs and made 837/741.

So yes with the bigger power applications and chasing every last bit, CAMS HELP!

That's a crazy increase, even in torque. I've been told I'd only gain 40-50 rwhp by custom cams. Currently @719rwhp 672rwtq. I'd be very happy with your type of gains, especially since it's not a cheap mod.

Why did you sell the Cobra
