Yep Olddog, I'm a fool choosing to entertain RK further, when I know he'll keep playing till he gets the last work, even if it moves off topic.
Watch...

And the other complaint was the alloy block casting was flexing, expanding, contracting and popping at the seams, whereas the cast iron block was rock steady and never leaks.

Hey RK,
1. I know you did the maths and agree with me, that's why you changed he subject to tuning carbs. What if carbs are already tuned and tuned alike
15-30hp as you stated, for engines that are commonly built between 400-600hp, like in our cobras represents 5% +/- of their power. Correct?
How can you argue that 5% is insignificant, yet argue that 5% of your car's weight is?
2. Nah, reliability was never raised by the builders, unless I missed it. Show me please. It was only raised by third parties who seemingly misinterpreted what the builders were saying. True?
3. You first raised the rule of 3s. Pat just explained the reason for your observations. Yes?
Now, just so i don't get confused buddy, please just answer "yes" or "no" next to each point. Then you can elaborate on your reasoning
