Default Re:
Chaplin,

keep in mind, a Cobra is light car. You can easily go up a notch or two on the cam, and you'll still have PLENTY of grunt down low too. I had the exact 236 Comp cam you mentioned, and it was a tad bit mild for me after driving it a few thousand miles. I ended up going with a custom ground Crower cam on my next car, with the .262 dur @.050, .640 lift, and wow its much more agressive side. SouthernAutomotiveengines sells a 247/252 duration cam at .050, with a .570 lift, if I recall, and its a nice comprimise between what you were considering and what I have.

Good luck.
