Dynoed my 427so Cobra today.... interesting to say the least!

[RACER X #99]

Kieth,
I can back up John McMahons comments on you engine as I was also a witness to the HP and Torque numbers on your engine.The headers used on the dyno pull were from my 427 SO and no mufflers were used. Also I don't know if it was mentioned but 110 octane leaded racing gas was also used during the pull.
I had the opportunity to drive this car and it was one bad ass Cobra. I have 13 years experience driving Cobras on the track and if you need more power than you now have you must be a much better driver than I am. I suggest you send your resume out to one of the teams in need of a driver.

BTW, the Richmond 5 speed is a true 5 speed without overdrive, the first gear is very low and that is why Burtis installed a 2.88 rear in your car. You have the best of both worlds. Good gearing for acceleration and a tall high gear for economy.
I can't figure out why Fred sold that car in the first place.

BTW II I can't understand why guys take their cars on chassis dynos anyway, most are usually disappointed just like you were.
