Default Dyno run

The specs look good for a street motor. You are getting about 1.1 HP per cubic inch, which is relatively mild, but in a 2500 lbs car, you really don't need any more for the street. One thing that might be considered in Cobra applications, is how you intend to drive the car, even if you don't intend to race it at a track. If the car is mainly going to see stop light to stop light in town driving, then a big cubic inch torque motor works quite well. But if you intend to drive the car on the open road with a lot of sharp turns, then a motor that builds more upper end HP and less low end torque will make the car much more enjoyable coming out of tight turns. Just something to consider with the the popularity of the present day stroker motors.
