In real life on the street where most Cobras live, most well built Windsors will kick the Clevelands ass everyday and also the FE's.

Not with the Aluminum Aussie heads - the
properly built Cleveland will walk away form the W. More torque, more HP, and lower in the rev range than the old style Cleveland's used to be. The old (and well deserved) knock on the Cleveland with regard to the poor low end power and torque are simply no longer valid. As I said earlier, look at the websites for CHI and AFD - the info is all there.
