I have my little, low-buck Cobra, with its low-buck Chebby engine, that runs in the 10s, after driving it 75 miles to the strip, and then back. I guess I could spend huge dollars on an exotic engine to get the same results, but I'd rather have the residual money to take a few trips to Italy.

I could'nt of said it better myself. A Jon Kasse boss 9 engine makes about the same power, runs on less compression 9.8, pump fuel, as opposed to 11.5, doubt thats 93 octane, is fuel injected, and weights less, Price $23,000, cammer $40,000, you do the math, and is 3 cubes less, thats impressive, never said anything else. Same reason I wont buy a roush cammer if he made one it would cost more than this one, and to me thats not a good value for the numbers you are getting. nuff said on this for me. (again this motor was built for competition, and conversation. how stupid would you fell getting beat by a little ol supercharged 5.4 DOHC on pump fuel for 20,000g, oh but the conversation about the cammer would be awesome lol.
