This may sound nice, perhaps even trivial, but it will play very big in terms of how much time you spend trying to make you engine perform properly and how much time you spend enjoying your Cobra.

The tuning work done by the crate engine providers is a big time, but often silent and overlooked, benefit you get when you decide to purchase a crate engine instead of building your own. To do the same job yourself would be surprisingly difficult.
