Super expensive, and no real big benefits.
One testimonial claimed a 5 hp increase. Well let me blow an extra $600 on lifters for 5 hp, I sure wouldn't want to spend that money getting my heads ported for a worthwhile increase. Why not go for a roller cam if you have the extra money? Unless the racing sanctioning body prohibits a roller cam, but do you race your cobra in a sanctioned racing series with engine teardowns? The only real advantage I see is if you change camshafts more often than underwear, than you don't have to keep your lifters in order. Weight savings: that extra $600 will go further in improving power if spent on ultra lightweight crank, rods and pistons, or a very low M.O.I. flywheel/clutch assembly. I guess if money is absolutely not an issue, and you allreqady bought the absolute best of everything else....
