about a year ago i bought a topend setup from a cobra heads, intake, 70mm throttle body, injectors, roller rockers and a few other bits.

everything has found its place besides the cam rockers and injectors.

how can i identify this camshaft and make sure its a cobra cam??
thanks all.

not sure how to really, but i'd just throw it away or see if some sucker will buy it. the factory cobra cams are JUNK..

sell it for atleast the shipping price of a descent cam TFS1 would be perfect for your combo (of OTS cams)..

I would sell you a TFS stage 2 for cheap but you would have to notch your pistons. The Cobra Cam like Lee said is junk the HO cams are actually a better grind.

If you're saying he should sell it unaware of what it is, then you're the type of jackass that shouldn't be in this hobby.

Not at all what I meant. I meant somebody looking for a stock cobra cam (if that's what it is). I say sucker because anyone looking for one is a sucker for thinking its a good can because its oem cobra.

i intend on trying to sell it but i want to be 100% sure its a cobra cam. if i cant find out how to then i'll just make something out of it.

maybe a foot long handle on one end, it'll be my thump stick for the trouble makers.

They make cool lamps, can either use a cam/timing chain gear or a brake rotor for the base.
