I'll do that. No need robbing this thread any further...I apologise for that. It wasn't my intention, just sort of ended up going that way. I still say KC is inflating their numbers. I'm VERY familiar with the 600 to 700 hp range engine requirements. I've been doing a lot of boat race motors lately, and have a 467" BBC in my boat that probably isn't quite 700 hp, and I can't tell you how much work and $ went in to that motor. It has 12.4:1, a very long winded flat tappet solid, extensive head work, and (2) 800 Holleys on a tunnel ram. It idles at about 1600, and makes about 685-690 at around 6500+. On race gas. I'll tell ya. I wouldn't want to be in any but one or two Cobra's with that motor! The guys that drove those things in the 60's were no less than hangin' on for dear life, and had cojones the size of grapefruit! They were psycho!
Wasn't it grand!!!
