So, got bored with the little KB and figured it was time for more power.

had some LS crankshafts finally make themselves useful, about 60lb each then me and my friend in the trunk for extra weight.

Nice upgrades, I love comp orange, definitely the best color for the cobras. I'm guessing you have a built engine? Are you running E85, And what power did it make

Thanks. It's still a stock engine w/comp cams, springs and ARP head studs. It is tuned and lives on e85, 23lbs made 820/724 on its top pull...but we ended the day at 803/715.

Damn those are good numbers for stock compression. Which cams are you running? Why *only* 803 on the last pull? Did it pull timing?

Comp 106460 series cams. The 820 was after a long cool down. I think he adjusted the a:f and kept timing the same.

You're making some killer power. You post a idle video so we can hear those bump sticks

I have a little clip in photobucket, do I just load it in here like a picture?

Here it is getting pulled around to back on to the dyno...you can hear the cams pretty good in this video.

Edit: I don't think that worked. Is there another way besides loading it to YouTube and posting from there?

Oh jeez, is that all. What a disappointment! ;-)

Ha, yeah that was all. :(

It did better than I was expecting. I didn't think it would hit 800, I was expecting 770ish, +/- a few. But, obviously I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Beautiful ride. Sounds nasty. Congrats on the 800 club :rockon:

Thank you

Car sounds great and those are very nice numbers! Love how it looks completely stock from the outside. I bet it surprises some people haha

Yeah, that was kinda the plan. Keep it low profile...the cams and e85 exhaust smell will give away a little if someone is paying attention...but outside its just been lowered a little and 17x10.5 cobra rears. If you see inside it might raise a flag too, haha.

I really like the look of those seats! How comfortable are they and do they sit much lower than stock cobra seats? I am 5'8 and want to get some just like it for my cobra, but nervous they will sit to low for me.

I'm 6'2" and they sit a good bit lower than the stock seats. I don't drive my car very often and never for long distances, so I can't say much on their comfort...but for short cruises, or driving out to car meets they're perfectly comfortable. I really like them.
