Ed,
I copied that!

About a decade ago or so cams were listed by usage of the driver but rarely took into consideration that Cobras are mostly about 1000 lbs lighter than other cars.

A cam which was listed in the manufacturer's catalog as a little too radical for street use may just be fine for a Cobra.
Say a 260H (with more low end torque) was good for a Vette, but the 280H is fine for a lighter Cobra.

Plus too much torque will just get your tires spinning for ever.

For the Cobra I advise to use a more radical cam than for a Vette or Chevelle, especially if your are geared for acceleration and not for top speed.

Don't let the european engine tuners confuse you. They really have to consider every degree of a change in cam timing, because they mostly have only 50% of your engines displacement.

Plus they list cam timing different. A 310° cam maybe just a 280° looking at the values measured at .050" lift from the lifter.
