96-98 cobra cam Q's? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

devildogmach · 12-20-2013, 12:50 PM

I found a set of 97 cobra cams cheap. comes with cam gears and bolts (I'd buy new bolts).

my questions are, do I use the cobra cam gears or my mach cam gears? Do I have to get a tune after the install, and does anything else need to be replaced? I have done a ton of google searching but my google fu is failing me on this one.

97 cobra cams. I read something by NA SVT saying get the cloyes secondary cams and advancing the intake cam 4degree, but I don't have the green to get the adjustable primary cams, and honestly I dont want to adjust those anyway.

*edit* can I get your number to talk to you?

PM sent.

Tune - Yes, but its not needed. It drives choppy if you reuse your old tune.

Cam gears - Will need to grind cam keyways down to use the Mach cam gears, or you can reuse the 97 cam gears and you won't need to touch the cam keyways. Although I've heard the cam gears from the Machs are better. Don't know how true that is.
