RE: NE1 on here cammed their 96-98 cobra?
Stock cams are .397"
I would sugest FR500 cams and high light valvetrain kit for $1500. You get the springs, valves, retainers and cams and their lift is .472" A HUGE improvment.
You will really feel the power from these things. While you are at it you should think about having the heads ported and a 1mm oversize valve installed. But if you dont have the cash the cam kit is a good idea for now

Here in Tampa, I see probably 1 cammed Gt for every 5 I see..
ORIGINAL: 2000GT4.6
I am the only cammed 2v in my town. Hell, I have to go 2+ hours away to find another

You must live in the boonies.. a cammed 2v isn't anything rare. That's like saying a mustang GT is rare
... You say that, but when you spend 2k to cam a 4v to get 20rwhp, or can spend 3k on a blower and get 100+rwhp... remember you're paying double to cam a 4v vs a 2v and you're not really getting much more. I know even less people cam the new cobras, as the cams are already pretty aggresive.
EDIT: The whistle attracts all the attention I need [8D]- especially with my exhaust as it is.

Considering on the stock motor it only spins to around 6400...
Also for 1500$ just for parts... u also have to figure in install, and tuning required.. and it's not going to put him up to 400rwhp alone... your talking over 2k for 30rwhp or so...at 5k and up...

Camming a 4v is well worth it if you are going the full NA route. Go over to corral and check out the threads with B head guys making close to 400hp with a full NA setup with a short runner intake, 11 CR, etc etc. That being said you are making your car far less streetable as most power on a good 4v cam will come on at 5k rpm and run until 8k.Most run a 4.56 gear but can dip into the 11s and lower in the 1/4 mile.

Also how is the streetability of the car, do the cams make it a dog at low RPM or do the gears compensate enough to make it pretty normal?
