You can put a monster engine under the hood which is cool, but I like the idea of creating a quick street car with documented values and performance evidence to back it up. If anyone has 1/4 mile data or wheel HP/TQ documentation that would be cool to see.
I went with a Superformance, Roush 427R single plane intake, improved fuel delivery, Pro-Systems double pumper, headers that don't cover the exhaust ports, improved design side pipes, stronger drive line and Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials.

10.7 is nothing to sneeze at...  I don't think I could match that even with a perfect launch, perfect shifts, and a wind at my tail.  |

That is one SIC!!! motor! It looks awesome with the webers. I looked high and low for one of these motors for sale and couldn't come up with one. I am curious how you came to own it?

Just a little bitty home grown 289 that's real fun to lean on in the foothills and on mountain roads. It's light, agile, loud, and when you nudge the Webers, it squirts like a pinched Watermelon Seed.

427 w......550 hp 550 torque. I went with Mass Flo injection and high performance Cam. I added a special belt and pulley system. I did it this way as I wanted a High Perormance motor, lighter in weight, no heating issues, no leaks, and something I can drive on the street with ease! I ended up with the right one! CHP built the motor....and they did a great job. I have 13+k miles on it and it just runs better and better.
Nice to have all the different motors here......they are great!!

Authentically detailed FE. Completely happy with it. Doesn't miss a beat, will sit in 100+ air idling all day long, and with about 400-425hp I can mash the throttle at any speed and the car just goes instead of burning the tires up.

Sal,
I think I am pushing about the same with my ERA and "mild" 427 SO. By mild I mean close to an original spec engine. Just curious about your cam choice. Mine is of course a solid flat with 114 LSA, 235/235 and about .556 lift.....again mild compared to most but l of low end driveability, stays cool etc. Takes a real good right foot push to get violent.

If I remember correctly, it's a Comp 278 cam, hydraulic. The motor only makes power to about 5500, but I really don't need much more than that in this car to have plenty of fun.
I have driven plenty of customer's high power Cobras and I really feel those big power motors take away from the actual use (read:fun) of the car.

I want a Cammer. 
I just have the ubiquitous 482 with a CSX block, Edelbrock heads, Crower hydraulic roller cam, etc. I eventually plan to add TWM fuel injection. |

Ekrupa2, what's the difference in the R-402sr and the R-402r? Are there performance differences, or is the difference in the amount of "shiny" parts?
