Yeah it is true, any new cam you put in should be dialed in checked. When I say checked, I mean compared to the specs on the cam card. If you don't dial it in correctly, your cam timing could be off and that you don't want. It's not just the Cobra, any motor you install a cam in should be done with a degree wheel. You think about it, the cam is the brain of the engine and if it's off you will lose power. The rest is in the tune, Mike. SCT Tuner.
