Default Cobra Cams?

So I am pulling my extra longblock apart in a few weekends. I am not sure what I will do with it but I am considering throwing some cobra cams in there.

Which cams do I use? Intake? Exhaust?

Anything else I should look into while it is apart?

I didn't know that the Cobra cams were more aggressive than Mach 1 cams.

Here Rod,

There is a better break down on the specs on this site somewhere but this shows the life and duration at 50. From his posts he states that you need to advance these cams to get back the torque.

The best stock cam for a Mach is the 98 cobra intake cams, the 99-01 are good but not as aggressive as the 98. The 03-04 cobra cams are exactly the same as the mach1.

Thanks for the info guys.

How much do the intake cams run normally?

you can find 98 intake cams for about $200.

That isn't too bad. I will probably throw them in while I am in there anyway. Some cheap power.

Like Shaken said, make sure someone knowledgeable does it because they have to be degreed correctly.

Will do. I will be doing the tearing down but not the assembly.

The guy helping me has 8 second cars in his shop. He at least knows something.
