Horsepower in 427 cobra, what is too much?

[undy]

I'll let you know after I install the 300 horse two stage fogger setup I'm getting ready to get with Mr. Jegs about. 900+ might be pushing the "too much" envelope though..

BTW.. I run the M/T ET drag radials (315/35/17s) on the car all the time. They allow the car to do a pretty good job with the 600 hp, v-e-r-y gratifying. Actually with the 35 aspect ratio and the real sticky compound it does pretty well in the twisties with them on too.

Lainhart has a stroked 427 (487 c.i.) with 619 at the flywheel. 354 gears in a Jag rear end. Very streetable, very fast. You cannot just rev it up and drop it.

Get it rolling and easy into it.

Coach Mike has a stroked 428 (461 c.i.) with 601 flywheel hp. 325 gears in a 9" with MT street radial. FASSST.

600 hp is great for the street if you have the correct rear end gears and tires.

I've driven both Cobra and I love they way they cruise and the horsepower on TAP.

My small block makes 402 to the rear wheels. But we're talking about 427's
600 hp is what a Cobra needs! IMHO

I know that Steve Berg in Spokane drives regularly on the street with over 800 rwhp, he says it pulls on crotch rockets just fine. I run between 550-600 rwhp (depending upon outside temperature), and it feels about perfect for me. Tire choice can make a huge difference.
