Kinetic Racing Engines

[Shoo]

I'm planning to get a Cobra and I've been reading this forum and some others for a while. I'll probably get a Kirkham because it seems like good mix of modern performance engineering options and accurate classic good looks. I talked to them on the phone too and I liked their style. I had my mind set on big hp Roush engine probably because of their name and racing reputation. Now I've changed my mind and Roush is out.

I've seen numerous positive comments about Keith Craft and he seems to be recommended by Kirkham or at least there is a link from their site. They also have a link to Kinetic but I cannot really find any comments or user experiences of their engines. I'm thinking something like the Kinetic Cobra 495 engine.

I'm looking to have 600 hp or maybe more. Just because.

I also like the idea of an engine with a modern fuel injection instead of carbs. But only if it is not a gamble. I've yet to talk to the Kinetic folks so I don't know if FI is even an option. Regardless, any feedback on their engines and work in general is greatly appreciated.

TIA
