Ok, I found what I needed, Dan did say his engine was dynoed at 550 RWHP and 650 at the FW. That makes sense.

My little 331 KC Stroker dyno'd 446 at 6000 rpm at Keith Craft, and on the chassis dyno tuner we got 326...a loss of 120 hp. Using the same math you get a comfortable 595, so 550+ would sound reasonable for RWHP.

It should be about an 18% difference. Engine dynos regularly have the dials tweeked by the builders. Rear wheel dynos tend to be accurate. Your actual engine hp is around 406 which coincidently is dead on for a 331@ 6,000 rpm.

Straight as an arrow, two runs, so consistent that there was only .01 second difference between the two.
That was not just a win, it was a "thrashing". Well done, Dan! I voted for the 458, I must admit it was a mistake (I thought I was "wrong" once, but upon further reflection I realized I was only "mistaken").
Cheers from Dugly

Thank you for the video, but the sound editing with that music is just plain awful. Sorry, but it's distracting.

Well I never voted, as I had no clue what the real story was.
The one post that stuck out in my mind was Keith Craft kinda of surprised that most didn't give the Cobra a chance.

Top notch video! Cannot wait for the full length edition...
I saw that this and the other youtube video labeled it a race between the Ferrari and a SHELBY Cobra...
Come on, give some of the credit where it's due. Really a Kirkham Cobra. They produce such an exquisite product that makes that race possible and survivable.
Glad you both kept it staight and upright and really happy with the outcome.
Great run Dan!

Blitzforce,
Where's your buddy Tom G in all this?
There's no shame in losing to you & your Kirkham.
Best wishes,
