Shelbytexas I have a 452 motor with a 501-533" cam. 9.2 compression 360hp 460 tork. My motor goes flat and 5200 rpm, This is what I built it for, big tork and flat hp curve. The heads where CNC by Mike L at Shelby and flow better than the cam due to size. I have a 6000 rpm chip in my MSD. Saves the motor. The cam is advance 4 degrees. I run 12.50's in the 1/4 mile. HP and Tork numbers are great for the bench racing hours but a cobra is limited by how much power you can get to the ground and that it is a flying brick. A porsche will fly by at 130 mph. Cuts the air a little better. With your motor, what where you looking for?? What are you going to do with the car?? Street rod, Car shows, Autocross, Silverstone race, or 1/4 beast? Cobra can do it all, but some thing it does better than others. My 2 cents Rick Lake
