The biggest advantage is that DOHC breathes better by way of having not only 1 intake & exhaust 1 valve, but 2 intake & exahust 2 valves. More air in & more air out means more power & more power potential given the same displacement.turbokid said:its been buggin me since i got the stang and my cousin got the cobra. DOes dual over head cam have that much of a advantage over a single overhead cam. Can anyone tell me whats so good about the twin cam over the singel??
Very good depiction as my wife also says the Mach pulls way harder than my rather heavily mod'd GT in my sig, and that was stock for the Mach. It doesn't seem much quicker now but that's cuz I don't get on it nearly as much cuz it's so loud.oogtdude said:the difference you will feel in the seat is........you will build power later in the rpms.....where the gt 16v has a great tq curve but dies off quikly.....my gt would pin my girl in her seat only threw the tq curve...the mach keeps her there
turbokid said:so the only way to keep the high torque at the higher end on a GT is to get a blower rite??

Mod for mod the DOHC will always reign supreme over a SOHC, exponentially.Craig Mack said:It's all about powerband...GT's redline at 5800rpm for a reason, and Cobras redline at 6800rpm for a reason. The GT's powerband is smaller, and the engine is setup so no more power is made really past 6k. The Cobras engine just keeps pulling harder and harder, hence the higher redline.
A turbo or centrifugel will definately make great peak hp gains, and centrifugel superchargers will add a lot of top end power. Aside from that, changing your intake manifold, exhaust components, etc to make your engine breath better is essential and will yeild a bunch of high end power.
For peak power, mod for mod, the DOHC will always reign supreme over a SOHC.

Craig Mack said:Don't SOHC's respond a little better to torque? DOHC is the peak HP KING but SOHC GT's seem to make better torque then Cobras, as far as mods go. (excluding boost)
i don't have the irs, i think it's only 99+ cobras that have it.torchredmach1 said:SOHC's can take cobra outta the hole, but i think is because the cobra has IRS. They can experience wheel hop out of the hole. On the other hand, the GT's and Mach's have a solid rear axle. Nothing but to the floorboard outta the hole....
'03-04 cobras w/14 psi, even with all the bolt ons, don't have 663 hp. so what else doesn't your 2v do?micool said:My 2V doesn't stop pulling until 7300 rpm.

6000rpm fuel cut, no? I can drive my cobra to 7000rpm, but it still technically "redlines" at 6800.
