If you buy a set of Cobra cams, do you need to send them out to a machine shop for anything before you put them in?

No machining needed, you just need the cam gears and associated hardware.

Thanks. I'm going to sit down and figure out the cost with aftermarket cam gears and ARP bolts for this. I'm sure the 96-98 cams are harder to find than they were in 2011, but I'll check around. Plus, I should be able to get a tune from LaSota to get me started. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to do an email tune based on data logging.

I have so many suspension and brake upgrades planned that aftermarket cams probably won't be an option for such a long time. I want to upgrade the rear diff to 31 spline and go with 4.30's as well. Lots of $$ all together LOL.

Eruza,I have comp cams now and will sell you my Cobra cams. They have the filed keyways so you can reuse your stock gears. Just need the cams and ARP cam bolts.

Not really a how too,just a few pics to get an idea,little more extensive pulling engine and trans/k member etc,but with all the work I needed to do it was a no brainer..Also along with the cobra cam install I did a head cooling kit,built t45 (yes a t45,I was not going to pass on a fresh t45source trans including billet shift forks,less than 1k miles for $1k,my 3650 has had hardly a 2nd gear for months while I collected parts) Anyway here you go,cam key ways at 6 o'clock,TDC and all dot to dot with pink nail polish lol..I had previously already installed longtubes,jlt,430s,7/8ths intake spacer and multiple suspension goodies..My buddy Vndcatr tunes the car with sct prp hope to go 11s in march.

Those of you looking for cobra cams try getting somebody selling complete heads to separate their B heads from the cams themselves and have them include the bolts and sprockets...it's worth a try worked for me! Always double check part numbers!!

i think if i was still doing bolt ons and wanted that extra power, id be doing cobra cams. Everyone has their own way of installing them but for a couple hundred bucks its good power. plus a tune is not needed for Just the cams.

^^ good info on the part numbers, people are always unsure.
