Turk & others - it's in process so not much longer!

Steelcomp - I appreciate a lot of what your saying but if you read the initial post the baseline figures have been taken off of the independent dyno. The significance as such is whatever KCR does on his dyno is ill-relevant with respect to the other - THIS MEANS A BASELINE TO COMPARE IMPROVEMENTS & DYNO DIFFERENCES MADE BY KCR. Also, Keith is not running the Atlanta dyno rather only tuning the engine (if he wants to fly to Atlanta) while ON the dyno.

M. LeFevers - cool having you chime in! Thanks for the tour of the 'ole Shelby facility awhile back. I hope all is well with your engine bizz!

TC - I hear ya man but not everyone is expecting passenger car results/reliability in their COBRA engine & experience. Really big hp comes at a cost, nearly always, if not only a trade-off. I don't care if my engine lasts 20K miles but 10k between freshening would be great. In my case that would be about every 4-5 years - no big deal (for me). I understand that some builders do no more than minor stock re-building of engines - I could do that myself but I can't make huge power that allows the powerplant a reasonable amount of reliability at the same time. BTW, besides Hal Copple I don't know anyone with 20K miles on their drivetrain. Heck, you only have about 50! We missed you yesterday at the Varsity - they said you had "another" reason to no show off your coke can.
