Gotta question for those with standard (standard stroke) 427 FE powered Cobras on the street. I see all this talk about higher revving.


How much time do you actually spend above 6,500 rpms with your 427, on a regular basis, on the street?




I sort of went for torque with the 428CJ, and now see that shorter stroke and less torque might be nice too (less tire spin), but still think about preserving my valvetrain too. May do an aluminum 427 standard stroke next time, but don't care to rev 7k either for fear of breaking valvetrain parts or worse.
