Hi Nick,

Welcome to the Forum! There's a great bunch of people here and a wealth of Cobra knowledge. The forum has certainly made my build easier.

LS1 of Boss that's a real topic for discussion at the moment considering the changing emissions rules. I went with the LS1 and I'm a big fan of this motor as you will probably see from some of my posts. However I would realy like to see some Cobras with a Boss motors in them. It's a physically huge motor and would look pretty impressive wedged int a Cobra engine bay.

HP potential from the Boss seems to be a bit limited in naturally aspirated form at the moment. The guys on the Ford forums are announcing some good numbers with a blower attached though. They haven't fully cracked the ECU yet and there's not much in the way of cams, heads etc but I'm sure they will catch up though once the tuners start fiddling with them. The LS1 has a 4-5 Year head start on the Boss so there is bound to be some good development to come.

Cheers
