I have two FE's with completely different personalities. The 427 is a screamer with power coming in @ 3,500-7,000 (and beyond if you'd let it!) and the 428 w/webers which is basically off idle to 5,000 rpm's. For street use there is no doubt that MOST Cobra owners would probably prefer the torque low and broad like the 428 in the car now. I, however really enjoy the rush of a higher rpm BB that will easily bump the rev limiter without trying! The old saying goes 1st gear is used just to get rolling. Well in my case I say the same is true about the late surge of the 427. With any spirited driving the engine never falls out of the power range between shifts and you know it still not that bad at 2,500 either! Enjoy whatever you choose.
