Randy,

I am on my 4th Cobra now and three of the four have had pretty high HP.

1. 385 HP 351 crate engine (Nice but not fast enough)
2. 500 HP 351 with Paxton Supercharger (Very streetable & fast)
3. 514 crate with 604 HP (Very streetable too much tork down low)
4. Kieth Craft 351 stroker to 427 with 638 HP very streetable and tork up higher and really fun to drive!

The key is a great engine builder and setting it up right including the carburetor. Most make it to rich and/or have the off idle lean stumble. Get it right and 600 HP on the street is fine!

See you in Austin and be happy to take you for a blast.........
