What things about your Cobra would you have done differently?

Dean,

I have a 252-262 roller cam with .612 lift EX/INT and 112 degree lobe sep. I think it's one of Keith Craft's Comp Cam roller grinds he uses for the over 600 HP 482 FE's. With the big 950 4bbl it loped pretty good and wailed to top end with 640 HP on the KC dyno.

Now on with the Webers. Same cam, not so lopey and a little rich at idle but holy cow Batman, throttle response, major low end torque and even better screaming to top end!! Still working a little here and there with the LM-1 and A/F ratios, but getting really close. We can talk more at John Force's next week. Whoever gets there first, save the spot next door for the other.

I wished I had the money for an aluminum body, and like Rodknock, Magnesium wheels on Blue Streak Sports Cars Specials. I would paint the car black, and would like to go with the street version. Although I really like the Webers found on some S/C's, I'd most likely shift back to the 4bbl to stay more consistent with the street theme.
