[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16363712, member: 113850"] Somewhat agree with slo984now. IMO the only real reason for new cams or OEM cam adustment is to make more power. Adjusting the OEM cams to be matched head to head (both heads "knowing" where TDC is) will gain you some RWHP. From my understanding, adjusting them to a different that OEM setting, puts the power in the RPM range you want it. The OEM cams come from the factory adjusted by hand only to the chain links; so actual degreeing is just luck of the draw. Here you go: 8888888888888888888888888888 OEM CAMS INFO ************************************** [URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/installing-cams-in-01-cobra-with-stock-engine.834921/[/URL] na svt #46 is it absolutely necessary to degree the cams? The answer is yes. Degreeing the cam ensures they are where you want them. Additionally, advancing/retarding the cams puts the powerband where it needs to be to best suit your needs. Moving the cams from the stock position can do many things: add mid range hp/tq, raise or lower the rpm where peak power occurs, prevent the drop off power after peak, etc. The stock lobe centers are 119/110, this is good for emissions and upper rpm power with low mid range hp and tq. 1. 108/114 is good for mid range hp, tq and will put peak power at 6000rpm, power will drop off rapidly after peak 2. 108/120, good for mid range hp and tq, peak at 6000, power will not drop off as fast as #1 3. 110/118 a little less mid range hp and tq and peak will occur just over 6000, power will not drop off as fast #1 4. 112/118 less mid range and tq than #3 but peak will occur higher, around 6200, less power drop after peak than #3, good for FI 5. 114/116, good for carrying power out past peak, works well with short runners, needs more gear than the other options, good for FI Intake lobe centers higher than 114 are good for fuel mileage emissions, terrible for n/a power.
