My two cents worth
The biggest question is what are you going to use your Cobra for? Drag racing, tracking or ... That is the first question Jerry asked me. The right combination of components to match your need is the most important thing. I am sure that Keith, Barry or Jerry can build you any horsepower you want, but will it match your needs? Why do I like FEs? They are like a Harley - they sound great!! The low end torque is a hoot to drive in traffic. I drive my car on the street and has a great fun factor. It's reliable and I feel I got the best bang for my buck. It's been 3 years since Jerry built my engine and almost 10,000 miles and it's never failed. I often see mismatched combinations of parts and drivability and reliability become a problem. My only advice would be to listen to the pros - they will save you aggravation and money in the long run. Thanks again Jerry.
