I think the motor will last for 10s of 1000 of miles for you on the street.
Biggest problem for card'ed motor is poor tuned carbs that wash down the cylinder walls, speeding up ring wear and contaminating the oil.
You can always call Keith and talk to him or one of the guys in the back that build motors.
I see you live in Memphis about 3 hours west of Florence, Al.
We have an active group of Cobra in North Ala and Tenn. Maybe you can join us sometime. We have a few injected Cobras and lot of carb'ed ones. Coach Mike is our carb tuning guy.

Dwight,
Are you talking about having the car tuned on a dyno or just having someone who knows carbs change the settings? Memphis isn't the hot bed it used to be for performance cars but I'm sure there finding a few folks who know carbs wouldn't be to hard of a task. I've ridden in the car a few times and it seems to run great but that isn't to say I couldn't check it out. Good to know you guys are over that way. I know of a handful of cars around here and maybe we could arrange a meet one day.
