My original GT40 SVO 5.0L motor put out 250kw and that was pretty quick in a heavier vehicle than the Cobra - check out link. I think that 300Kw will be perfect, although the A6 engine is not a pushrod engine, so I'm not sure what the low down torque will be like. Going ahead with it though.. Wish me luck
