Looking into buying a cam next spring for my 2001 Cobra. I've been looking into Comp Cams and their numbers lately. Anyone have any opinions on Cams for our cars and what prices look like?

I have been pushing on doing cams for soo long now. I have called every company, asked every question you can think of. On average from what everyone at the companies have told me. On a pretty much stock n/a car you cant do anything more than a mild cam. With a mild cam your looking at picking up about 17 rwhp. The car if run with an agressive cam will actually lose more power than it gains. Average cost of real cams(not regrinds) is from 900-1300. Average price for installation is running around 1000-1500. For the most part all the cam manufacturers are producing the aftermarket cams based on the Fr500 cams specs. For the money it really isnt worth it hp wise. However you will pick up a nice choppy idle somewhat compareable to a b cam in a 5.0. Unfortunately the only cams that I have heard in mod cars that had a nice really aggressive lope like an e cam in a 5.0 were all blower cams. Back to one of my first statements, you need some major mods to be able to run that agressive of a cam in our cars.
hope this helps
