Anthony,
The original 427 C3 AA Cobra Cam was in fact more duration than the Comp Cam in this thread. It was advertised at 306. The comp is advertised at 294. That's a difference right there and remember the Cobra's made about 480hp back then. With valve spring tech in the 60's, they couldn't run a bunch of lift either so, the power was made the old fashioned way, with compression which most can't run on the street today. No more Sunoco 260 at the pumps for .39/gallon.
With todays tech and big cubes, we can make a lot more power than they made in '65. It's all in the combo and what the customer is willing to live with.
