Twin Turbo - after my smart ass comment earlier, I feel compelled to say I like the sound of your Cobra. I think you did it right. Your engine will make respectable power without the turbo. That allows you to not have to go to such high boost that gets you into all the other issues.

Most of the time you hear a turbo on a 4 or 6 cylinder import. I respect them, but don't like the sound.

I agree that boost no matter how you get it will make power. I also agree that designed right the turbo lag is small and manageable. The few I drove, the lag was perceptable, but not that bad. You only notice it, when you first stand on it at lower rpms.

I agree that if you take a mild engine and turbo it, it drives like a family car, but still has power. Much more civil, but not my personal cup of tea for a Cobra. I do feel that 600 Hp in a Cobra is too much for the street, and you don't need forced induction to get there. I know 600 is streetable in the hands of the right person, but not all that many are the right person.

Anyway I didn't intend to toss rocks at anyone elses car. I was just being a smart ass. Sorry if I offended you or anyone else.
