I would have gone into detail why the cobra cam sucks, but if some guy in a magazine said its good I'm sure it is.

Have you ever looked at most of these morons in magazines. DOESNT MEAN THEY KNOW ****.

Im not by anymeans being rude, but I do know wtf Im talking about.

Your beginning to build a mismatched combo that isnt going to run right. You need to build lowend on a lightly geared AOD. IF your going to use a cam, go with a E-303 and advance it it 2 degrees to help build lowend. But using the HO w/ 1.72's is way better than a POS cobra. Ever seen how those run in stock trim? No good untill the computer/cam is gone. Track heat doesnt build lowend either.

The P heads stock springs are good to ~.520 lift I believe, but I aam not positive on that. Also those heads love compression. They have a very efficient combustion chamber and don't require a lot of timing for HP. So you can get away w/ more compression than you can on other iron heads.

The Comp cams ain't bad, but I wouldnt say they are anymore of a proven performer than the FMS series. No reason to ***** each other out over a messed up LSA.
