Once you get more than about 225 degrees of duration on the intake side @.050" lift, the motor starts to lose bottom end torque pretty severely. Cobras are light and have plenty of gear, which helps get the motor past those first few thousand rpm's which become a total bog. I enjoy it when the motor has the grunt from the moment I stomp the loud pedal (small cam), instead of waiting an eternity to get to 3500 rpm when the motor will start working right (big duration cam). If you only drive on the track, disreguard what I just said, it applies to real world hipo street motors, driven on the street.
