This guy is a frickin' genius! Cutting Edge Technology! Doubling horsepower through the crankcase, not the combustion chambers. WOW!!!!!

What I'm wondering is why the engine hasn't exploded (literally) from oxygen enriched hot oil and fuel vapor in the crankcase. A little blowby past the rings for an ignition source and pouff.
Industrial diesels have fire hazard warning signs on crankcase pannels stating let engine cool before removal.
This kid has a bomb on his hands and doesn' know it yet. Don't let him anywhere near a Cobra.

I don't think this is a deliberate gag. I tried to post a warning to the guy and the thread is closed.
Perhaps the guy meant to say "Intake", not "Cam Cover"?
My gut is this is legit, and if he doesn't blow his a$$ up first, he'll re-install the NOS correctly based on the replys to his post.
We don't have a Cobra Hall of Shame here yet do we?

I do think the poor guy is legit and really doesnt know what he is doing.
Lucky he doesnt have a Cobra with a 427SO, he might think the the Side Oiler indicates that when changeing oil you pour it on the side of the engine?

Come on guys,
If you read his follow-up posts, he's not paying attention to anything anyone's saying, and he has yet to address the numerous accusations that he is full of sh*t.
We are doing exactly what we want him to do - talking about it. And this isn't nearly as funny as the whole bit on the guy tearing down his nissan sentra and eventually running low 13's or whatever. Now THAT was funny. Was that link somewhere here on CC or do I remember it from something else?

I have been out of town for a couple days.
I believe that this may be the same guy (although I don't have the inclination to find out for sure) that posted something about doing a repair on his Honda and wondering if the little "C" shaped thingies, that he still had in his new parts box, had anything to do with the noise he was getting from the engine when he started it up.
This is some Bozo who thinks it is cute to see how many chains he can get to rattle with an obvious idiot mistake.
Kind of an update on muffler bearings and louvered pistons.
Shows some creativity in the thought process of how to stir the pot, but he is not worth anymore of my time.
