Agreed. I found that the engine wasn't happy running at lower RPMS and spent much of the time in lower gears at higher RPMs - 3rd most of the time on the street. It just felt like the engine was asking me to blow the cobwebs out.

I suggest discussing your wants and needs with a good engine builder and getting suggestions. I used Brent Lykins who frequents this board.

He asked lots of questions about how I planned to use my Cobra and built to match.

He could sell you parts to build the way you want or build for you.
