Cams are a very expensive upgrade. I assumed he had exhausted all of the bolt on's before moving on to do cams. Thats typically what most people do. Especially when considering the cost involved. Many dont bother with cams on a 4V motor,.. particularly the 96 - 98. I have heard of 99 - 04 guys taking the exhaust cam from the 96 - 98 motors and using them with good results.

This is a case of installing a mod with out the supporting mods that are required in order to see the most. I'm willing to bet LT's and mid pipe really wake this motor up. Have to keep in mind these early 4v motors dont have a lot of low end torque. My 2v GT had more low end torque then our 96 Cobra did. But after 4000 RPM the comparison ended and the Cobra clearly pulled out ahead. These motors love to rev.
