When I rebuilt my motor (recently) I chose the camshaft based on my typical "cruise rpm" so the motor would be at it's best at that rpm.

Of course with a 5 speed your rpm may be unusually low at cruise rpm. the delimna would be: Sacrafice high rpm horse power for good low torque at cruise rpm? Or spec the cam for FOURTH gear cruise rpm? Be careful to select a reasonably HIGH 1st gear ratio. It's pretty common for many Cobras to end up with 1st gear so low it's virtually worthless.
