Same here. About the same, maybe a little less, after new carb and some other tweaking. Wouldn't go more. According to Brent who has seen my build sheet it has plenty of room for more with cam change. But it's plenty IMHO!

Forgetting the engine, for a moment, if it ever is built... what brand of Cobra will it be going in to?  |

I thought he was replacing that one. Personally, I'd upgrade the car before I upgraded the engine. |

I've talked to Kevin (FUNFER2) a few times and I believe he has been around the block a few times with big engines.

If he goes over 600HP that calls for a special transmission, beefed up rear, other stuff... and the wallet is getting kind of thin.  |

I dont know why I'm even answering that question.
Yes, the Lonestar is fully boxed frame, support members,....etc.
Stronger than a lot of Cobras out there, but I have heard the ERA's are very weak &
dangerous.
