what mods do you currently have to your cobra? with a TS your looking at gains of 30hp & 40tq depending on how much boost and the aggressiveness of tune. do a search and youll find more than enough info.

i think cams are awesome but the cost outweighs the amount of power youll get out of them compared to so many other mods. ie: cost of the 4 cams, installation, and tuning = around 2-3 grand.

Everyone here in the know say stick with the stock cams unless you're doing a ton of engine mods. It's said we have pretty damn good cams stock.

Whats your set up? What do you want from them? Whats your budget. If you are on the cheap the best factory ones are 96-98 Cobra cams. If you want power then Custom, Comp III, Crower III in that order. Also look at about $3K install.

mods are: ported steggy blower, accufab tb, aftermarket plenum, afco h/e, borla exhaust with kooks L/t Headers, 2.76 upper pulley

With a stage III comp cams you are looking at about 25-30rwhp for about $3K. They are pretty choppy but very drivable. You can do 96-98 Cobra cams for a bit less but power would also be a good bit less.

so stage 3 comp cams??
Is there any other company that makes a good set of cams?
Thanks

There are Crower and Comp then then best thing to do is get custom cams for your setup which would give you the best results. There are all the different Ford cams. A few guys with twin screws and tons of turbo guys run the 96-98 cams. Of the Ford factory cams they are the best right now.

What company would you say makes the best custom cam?

There's no need for a custom grind if you're staying relatively moderate with your set up. If you're looking to add some serious hp and looking to build a stout engine then I would definately look into a custom grind!
