Regarding your>>>>Yes, big blocks should run in the 10's and 9's. But not in street Cobras. And that includes sixes that produce over 450 hp. So what else is new? <<<<

Ok so let me get this straight. A BB Chevy or Ford should run in the 10's and so should a 274" normally aspirated V6?

My car is a STREET car. It has no cage just a typical Cobra roll bar. I run DOT tires and Baffles in the exhaust. The car get 20mpg on the street. The motor runs very cool and idles fine.

In closing, my comments were directed at those that think that Horsepower alone means anything. They were to make the point that unless you get the power to the ground your going to be very embarrased by someone with a lot less motor.

Oh and the guy you talked to from Chicago was John Spina. He has a Turbo on his V6 with an automatic. Mine has a 4 barrel and a 5 speed.

Regards,
