Jerry,
You are right, people do crazy things like put 750 hp engines in their cars,good for them,just cause they have more money than brains doesn't make it right. I have trouble getting traction with a mild motor in my cobra. Professional builders such as Keith Craft are great for a serious car,roadrace, drag,etc. we won't even get into safety equipment these guys don't have on their cobra.
You can have a mean sounding engine that will still be streetable and maintenance free. A 10:1 compression motor with a comp cams 292H advertized duration cam, 244 degrees at .050 lift is a nasty combo, about as big as you should go on the street.
Perry.
