Thanks for the replies! I guess for me it will come down to knowing the engine is a legit "400HP" or the comfort level of the engine is ready to go. My fears are that I get the engine back and I don't get it running right away and then I find problems 4 to 6 months down the road. If there are problems it's still is in the "engine builders" hands to resolve. Plus this could be a better way for the engine builder to stand by his work. I could screw it up too far and he wouldn't warranty it after I messed around with it. This is a huge part of the build and I'm as nervous as I can be! I wish I could just call up Roush or KC but I don't have that luxury. Mine is a common build that is basically a Edelbrock "power package", nothing fancy. I didn't want a car that wouldn't idle in traffic or that needed adjusting every time out. I have seen too many Cobra's that are, well, just not street able. My old racing boss said do it and don't question the money it is well worth it. Thanks again guy's! Matt.
