Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

I liked the Vortech kit I had on my BBC truck! Way, Way more fun on the street than is legal! This is an old 454SS and I have had 4 different engines in it. Only the stock engine had less hp, @ 230, a 578hp 496 and I now have a 640hp 572. The Vortech was on a very mild 454, GM 781 iron heads with stock valves TBI Edelbrock cam, heck it was still using the stock GM TBI. BUT the TORQUE! It would run a 13.00 right off the street, shifting @ 4500 rpm and it's a 5000# truck! Want me to smoke the tires, in what gear?

Many, many Mustangs and LS Camaros (most) were left wondering what the heck happened! On the other hand if you wanted to play nice it ran, drove and got the same mpg as stock!
