Not to hijack this thread, but I asked this very question a while back. No one really stepped up and claimed the lighter weight of a SB impoved handling enough that you could tell a differance. Most stated that the biggest factor is the driver, yea I get that, but what about the capability of the car? Would you care to elaborate? I am interested. I'll Start a new thread, so not to mess this one up any further.

Here is the new thread.

I'm not trying to start a war, rather trying to decide what engine I want to use, when I build my dream car. I would like to hear the oppinions of the owners of SB engines in Cobra cars. The pros and the cons.
