Is there a point to this survey? If so, what is the point? Are you attempting to prove, refute or invalidate a statement, theory, claim, assertion of some kind?

Let's say that 70% of the 427 Cobra's have SBF's.

And of that 70% who own 427 Cobras with SBF's, 60% of them could afford any engine configuration they wanted, but chose SBF because of one or more of the following:

a) SBF's rev quicker than BBF's,*
b) SBF's are easier to maintain than BBF's,*
c) SBF's don't leak, BBF's do,*
d) SBF's are lighter and Cobra's will handle better when SBF's are installed,*
e) SBF's are cheaper to build than BBF's *

(* according to some)

And what does that get you? None of it means anything since the sampling is tainted by: a) opinions, b) every engine is built differently, even by the same engine builder in different environments on different days, c) engines have not been weighed, d) cars have not been weighed, e) FI or carb, f) aluminum or steel flywheel, blah, blah, blah.

This survey and any survey that follows is useless and a waste of server space.

Thank you very much. I'll be here all week. And tip your waiters and waitresses.
