You just need to back off your engine mounts and lift the engine by 50mm or so.
Ensure you replace the valve springs while you are at it, comp cams 918's are cheap and very good.

Jezus Ben, looks like Andy and I are going to need to learn how to drive now...

I remember driving my earlier Cobra the first time with 180 rwkw - I thought "I am probably going to die in this car"! You get used to it fast.

Later I got it tuned and had 244 rwkw and thought now this is fun!

A while later I got some new pipes fitted at Racer's Choice and thought wow, only right foot in a straight line.

Nutters these days are going LSA. Balls of steel fellas.

Same here! My first Cobra back in 1998 went from a pretty mild 302w with 135rwkw(14.0 quarter mile) to an alloy headed 347w with 220rwkw(12.0 quarter mile) and at first I thought I was going to kill myself!!!

Back in the day it was considered quite a quick car, not these days, but you get used to the power pretty quickly.

Times and budgets change so if my Pace has anything under 330-340rwkw(aspirated) and 430-440rwkw on the bottle I will be extremely disappointed!

Glad you're happy with yours Modena!!!! Time to have some fun now!
