Honestly, most people just estimate their engine's power and vastly overestimate it at that. HP is only a small part of what makes a car fast, so remember that the only piece of paper with numbers that matters comes from the racetrack, not the dyno shop. If you deside you really need more power, add up all the modifications you think you can't live without, it might be cheaper to buy a different cobra that is equipped more like your ideal than to buy all the parts and convert your cobra. just something to think about. You can still blow the doors off the hondas, right?
