(It's threads like this that make this site great.

I'm sure your 511 stack injected motor is impressive, looks impressive and makes alot of power, but I would guess it's $6K more than a carbed engine, and although it likely makes more low and mid range torque (HP) than a carbed engine, if you're running less than 58mm throttles bodies, it likely loses power from 5000 rpms up compared to a carbed engine. Not every mechanic on every corner can fix it either, and without some higher priced tools/computer, you can't tune it yourself either.

I see you're having problems as well.

maybe you'd have been better off with a carbed engine? naw. The stacks are worth it.)

Anthony -
You missed the point of my post. I am not defending the stacks. Yes I have had problems with it. I am sure plenty of people have had problems with carbs as well. And I am not arguing the cost difference between the 2. In spite of what other people post on here, I bought the car and motor combination because it was I wanted. Not to look impressive, sound impressive or brag about it. I bought it because of my personal needs, reasons and taste. I love all of the cobras. I am just tired of hearing all of this BS with everyone trying to justify why their system or engine is better than everyone else's. If you have that low of an inferiority complex or self esteem that you have to bash someone elses car - go to another site please

Personally I am impressed by all of these cars and how each one is unique. I refuse to join in the pissing contest over whose is bigger/better. I would humbly submit that most of the people here enjoy any/all types of cobras like I do. I thought that was supposed to end once you graduated from high school! Grow UP
