We shall see come saturday. SAI offered advice and technical support. The reason it all may have worked out was because my engine builder it a wizard with all things mechanical. Although he works on everything he is kind of a cobra fe specialist. Great guy, smart, accomodating, cares about the customer (gets something out of seeing people smile as they drive down the road) and he has made house calls for me. If any one ever needs an FE built (especially if you don't want just an off the shelf / crate motor) he will sit you down and help you figure out what will work best for you and then build you what ever you want. If you appreciate him, he will appreciate you.

This whole episode had turned into way more drama than I had hoped or intended. I have to admit that I fed into the pack mentality when I was told by multiple people things different than what I had gotten from SAI. I still think the design is bad for multiple reasons (although it may be adequate for a street driven cobra when properly torqued) and absolutely do not get why the upper 3 holes are slotted since you can not adjust them with the rotor on, the slots weaken the upright and allow for the part to move. Oh well, may be there will be a fix in the future.

Thanks again to everyone for the support and advice (and sense of community). I will keep people in the loop and we are going to do another inspection on everything once I get another 500 miles on it (assuming it is back on the road this week end).
