I think a thread might be a good idea........I'm going with a 850 Quick Fuel carb but haven't talked to Keith yet on the cam specs but I did send him an email on the victor vs the dual plane RPM manifold. I'm new to the FEs as most all of my cobra engines in the past were big small blocks which all had single plane manifolds on them. I did have one with a 514 Ford crate engine many, many years ago and I believe it had a single plane with a dominator. I think there is a pic of that one in my gallery also. These cars are so light and mine even more so being carbon fiber that we clearly do not need all the tork these big FE will produce. I guess at the end of the day any thing over 600HP is going to be difficult to get to the ground any way.
