Which is why a 289 small block Cobra is better suited for most Cobra owners. After having the 550HP SBF 427 I speak from experience. The down side to a big displacement lopey cam engine is that it's simply not happy running at low RPMs. If you have a Tremec 5 speed you'll find yourself in 3rd or 4th most of the time to keep the RPMs up a little.
