I also own a 3600 lbs Grand National Turbo. It is as fast as the Cobra. But it HAS A TURBO. At 15 lbs of boost your 2.3 is a 4.6, at 30 lbs its a 6.9. Boost is Boost.

My motor is the same as the Indy Menard motor that produced 900 hp except it had a small bore and stroke to make the 3 liter restriction. Yup 188 cubic inches and NO intercooler. I can use Kenny Dutweilers twin turbo setup on mine and make over 1000 HP. But why would I?

My point in building my car was to do it normally aspirated just like the normally aspirated V8's. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that my car is not the fastest Cobra around. I just wanted to see if I could make a V6 run with the V8's. I came in 3rd overall in last years run and gun and the car runs 10.8's and has a little more to go. As I said there are faster Cobra's. But I haven't seen many of them. Not normally aspirated anyway.

Thanks for the info I know very well how strong the Ford 4/Turbo is...

See ya,
