I am not sure that is completely true. A stroked 427/482 FE may not idle well but it will pull hard off idle. In a Cobra the tires will be spinning in any event. The HP/TQ is not peaky it is linear. I realize the OP has a Windsor but since he is gathering information that should be pointed out. A 585 HP 427/482 is very different than a 585 hp 351/427.

Good luck!
