Just like the title says, what's the limit HP wise?
Limit for 01 Cobra Cams?

They won't prevent you from hitting over 1000hp+, however with better cams it'll be easier. Big boost does wonders.
Yeah there is no realistic HP limit. Unless you're talking about making 2500 hp and snapping the cam in half 
The limit is in the powerband .

That's what I needed to know. I don't care for any others cams but stock. Don't like the sound.
This isn't you dads old push rod v8. You can't really make them sound close to one. Though cams do change the sound profile, nothing like a thunder stick in a ls1.
It's not only the sound, its the idle flux and I just like it to be smooth. Dumb I know, but oh well. Not to mention I have more than enough into the engine for what I'm shooting for. 900-850 rwhp at 6500+ elevation. And I'm running out of fun money
Making that kind of power will be way easier with aftermarket cams. I'm assuming your using some form of forced induction to get that kind of power? The chop comes from the overlap in the cams. You can have cams ground with more duration and lift than the stockers and still have a good idle. They just need a wider lobe separation angle like 116-118. What are you using for a power adder? Stock cubes? What intake, exhaust?
I have a small cam in my turbo setup.... Idles smooth but helps make power on less boost..... 630 rwhp on 13psi and 15 degrees of timing
Cams are 425 lift and 215 duration
Stock are 360 lift and 200 duration.

Actually, I have a set of Ford GT Cams lined up. I'm running a F-1A procharger
GT cams have less duration than the cobra cams, stick with what ya got.
