If you clean your code a bit. You can realize that setInterval is not needed. Simply make use of the last callback to repeat the animation.

$(function () {
    var $header = $("#header");
    var header = ['I', 'Am', 'So', 'Cool'];
    var position = -1;

    !function loop() {
        position = (position + 1) % header.length;
        $header
            .html(header[position])
            .fadeIn(1000)
            .delay(1000)
            .fadeOut(1000, loop);
    }();
});
