If I remember correctly, it's a Comp 278 cam, hydraulic. The motor only makes power to about 5500, but I really don't need much more than that in this car to have plenty of fun.

I have driven plenty of customer's high power Cobras and I really feel those big power motors take away from the actual use (read:fun) of the car.
