Odd that you know me well enough to make such a gross assumption. I have owned,built,and driven cars faster than 90% of the show cars on this board so telling me that I don't know the aspects of owning a car as mechanical as a Cobra is ludicrous.

If you had read my post I have wanted, nay, lusted after this car for 29 years. When friends were playing games I was helping my dad work on his '34 Ford Coupe or '60 Corvette. When friends were partying or playing sports, I was building small block Chevrolets. I am a professional ASE certified, L1 advanced automotive technician. I have been drag racing locally since 1992. I am more than qualified to own,drive,and maintain a Cobra, unlike the majority who "build" their cars with a checkbook.

I like Byronrace's idea of using a blowoff valve as a wastegate on a centrifugal. I looked at your pictures Byron, that Vortech is HUGE. Which one is that?? I could use a "Y" trim, pulley it for some hellacious blower RPM to build boost quick and then blow it off. Question Byron, are you using a blowoff valve or a true wastegate on the blower outlet???
