Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

[Kramer]

In conjunction with my family, friends, and those supporting this country overseas, I am thankful for this site. Without it, I doubt I would have had the courage to take on my cobra project. This site and the people that have helped my out have been wonderful. Thank you all, Have a great turkey day.

Kramer Have a great holiday with family and friends. Don't eat to much. Watch out for the eggnog, it's spiked. I am gald you stayed with your dream of building an ERA cobra. Hope you have many happy years with your new family member. Is she cleaned, washed, waxed, and covered for the winter? NO, then go for a SHORT RIDE, don't get lost. If yes, then pull the cover off and go for a short ride, if you get lost or run out of gas, it's OK Anyway Have a great holiday. Rick L.

Thanks Rick....PS- I think you are running TWM as well correct? If so, I wanted to tell you that roush/K&N are supposedly building the snap on air filters for the larger horns...don't know when it will be ready, but just thought I would tell you.

Kramer I have the setup. They are going to go on my 498 motor next year if all goes well. The 484 has a small cam at 583-607" hydro roller. I am going with a little bigger cam in the .640" range. The Edelbrock heads are done to the limits. I want this motor for racing. With the car setup for the track, I don't think I will go through the pain in the A$$ of trying to put it on the street. I do have the street pipes and springs and shocks from ERA. Dry sump is another thing with the new motor. I love my FI system and going from a throttle body to the TWM will be easy. I may truck down to the SAAC in south jersery this year. I have seen a couple of the air filters for our stacks, but have not been impressed. I have a paxton hood on the car but at 125+mph the front end starts to pickup. Don't like the lite feeling in the steering. I may go back to the org hood to stop the lift. I can also drop the chassic height in the frontend. Have to see witch way the car want to work best. I have talked to a couple of guys about running an air box instead of the 8 single filters. At high speeds the back throttle bodies don't get the same clean air as the front ones. An air box will do 2 things, make it easier for a large air filter to get mounted in the front on the box, and pressurize the thottlebodies at high speed. Works like supercharging without the blower. Yes I am not running the blower at this time, The drive was a pain, and belt jump. I had 2 idlers to try and control this. I hope you had a great holiday, stay safe, and go easy on the desserts Rick L.
