Default 4v CAMS?

I'm just curious, how come ive never really seen anyone puttin cams in the 4v cobra motor? Im guessing its because there are 4 cams and its not worth the money?? Im jealous of my brothers LS1 :/

The reason is price! 1200$ is crazy......they can make more power, but for the money people find better uses for that kind of cash.

You can still gain 20-30hp, just gotta be willing to spend the money. If you have a 98, just get the ford racing wipple charger and you will add over 100hp. Unless you just like the sound of cams and can settle for the smallish gains per dollar paid.

vtengines.com has Crower 4V cams for 995.

I'd rather pay a grand for 4V cams than 700 or so for lt headers. just me though.

Good point but they make good power, and no you didnt exagerate, most header companys are to proud of there headers. Mac is hard to beat on price and quality as far as headers go.
