blower cams

[01YellowCobra23]

whats a good blower cam for a 4valve 01 cobra. Car is vortech supercharged. im building an mmr 900 block. i bought a set of 03 cobra heads (which are being ported) and figured while everythings apart i might as well upgrade. i dont want a non street-able cam cuz this car is a street car. im just looking to pick up some extra power


thanks:beer:

supposedly modular powerhouse has the best blower cams

'best' blower cams are subjective as the power is determined via lift/duration. crower makes a good, quality blower cam.

IF you want the "best", call one of the camshaft manufacturers, or a quality shop and have them spec a set for you.

If you want the best then yes what he said!! Modular Powerhouse is a quality shop.

I don't know about the mph kb cams. I have a built engine with the Trickflow 2v heads mph kb cams and a KB 2.6 and the cams have toomuch overlap that is causing the car to pop. ALOT. This summer when I do some fuel upgrades my tuner is swapping them out with a different cam for free(tim would not tell him the specs). I don't know if it has something to do with the new design of the trickflow heads and cam combination, but it sucks!

All true. Is this mostly a street car OP? Your stock cams in 03 heads is an up grade worth about 15rwhp. People have made 800+rwhp using the stock cams from 96-98 Cobra's(99-01 Cobra cams are nearly identical, 4 dregrees less duration on intake cams, exhaust are the same 96-04), so you certainly don't "need" cams even if you want big power, even with a supercharged application. The nice thing about the stockers is the drivability vs a set of lopey cams. If its the sound that you are looking for than ok I suppose but not the reason to go for cams IMO.

Those Trickflow 2v heads are sick!!! Nice numbers BTW, especially with 15#, goes to show how great those heads perform. Not knowing cam specs would really bother me.

yes its a street car. Not Really looking for sound just for power. Yeah the heads i just bought included the 03 cams. If thats the case ill just take the cams outa my cobra and use them.


thanks for the info guys

Cam's have a 115 centerline. The overlap is far from to much. What are your fuel trims showing from back to bank?
Sounds like the cam's could be out from siude to side. I am just guessing here, only way to know for sure is to see a datalog of STFT and LTFT's. I have also seen this from not enough spark advance for the burn rate of the cylinder head.
I have alot of KB cars running those cam's, not to mention one that made 919rwhp.
You can call me if you need to.
