560 ~ 570 crank will fall about 500 wheel hp
You will probably need a little more HP at the crank to realize 500 HP at the rear wheel in a typical Cobra.

Do a forum search on "rear-wheel horsepower" or "horsepower loss."

The HP loss to the rear wheels is typically much higher in a Cobra (e.g., restrictive sidepipes).
