Im running the very first version on this cam and put down. 412 rwhp and 410 rwtq with just bolt ons and 241 heads. Its pretty choppy and pulls hard on the top end. If u have a automatic its no problem daily driving it with a good tune. I wasnt too happy when i had a six speed trying to daily drive it though.

what issues do you have with the 6-speed? Are you running stock gears?

Stock at first then 3.73's. It wasn't bad really at all i think it was more or less i just wanted a change. lol Ur always going to have bucking with a big camshaft and a 6-speed though. Some not as bad as others but its still going to be there.

It's a 112+2 lsa. It pulls hard up top but u can definatley tell it does not have very much low end torque. Thats why its a pain in the *** to drive it with a 6 speed. A 20 roll in a 6 speed is great. Pulls nice and hard all the way through. U can feel a definate power band higher up in the rpm range. Keep in mind that mine is the very first ones they came out with. Ive been running it for about 2 1/2 years. Ill get the exact lift of it later on when i get it off on my other comp.

Here is my dyno graph with a 6-speed, bolt on's, 10-bolt, stock 241 heads and 3.42 gears.

I got mine on a 114 lsa, wish i got it on a 112. But then again the cam drives very well. No stalling, no bucking, and just a little surge every now and then when coming to a stop. My friends f13 has been stalling since he's got it, but i think thats more in the tune. Its got a nice pull in the highter rpms but at least in my case the torque is a little low. I highly recommend some higher ratio gears, the 3.73's i just installed makes the car drive SO much better, im still breaking them in so i havent got on it yet, unfortunately.

406RWHP and 379RWTQ with mine on a 113 LSA. As stated before it feels about stock low end but north of 4000 its worth every penny and it sounds great at idle. It does buck and surge a bit with my stock 10 bolt and 3.42s but its nothing that keeps me from daily driving it.

haha, thanks Im trying to find an 03+ cobra to run now haha. Although I took it to the track yesterday and was VERY disappointed.....in my rear end, friggin 10 bolt, the posi no longer works and is clunking like a bastard. My best run was 13.145 at 115 with a 2.5 60' haha, I was trying to baby it and an off idle launch is not cool, I will post a video of it later today, sounds AMAZING going down the track though.

forget this cam then.

Low numbers and now low end torque.

I want 450 WHP and to pull at low RPMs. Im getting a 12 bolt with 3.73s and have all boltons, almost.

Im getting heads with it also. I wanted the package from TSP. maybe go with the torquerv2 or v3 then. IDK

sorry to hijack
