Ralph. It is amazing what a STOCK small block, with a lot of low end torque, can do on a road racing course. My first cobra had a 302 HO motor, with Edelbrock rpm performer intake, iron stock E7TE ford heads, a Holley 600 double pumper. The roller cam was the stock HO cam - .44 lift and duration of 209 at .050. Motor had around 275 HP, and the torque cam on quick - at 1500 rpm. On rr track at Gainesville (8 curves and 3 straights) for a high performance driving school - a BDR with a 408 and higher power curve couldn't close the gap all day long. Enjoy it!!!!!!
