[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 3626826, member: 9703"] That is 100% fact. 90% of the people that post on this thread are generalizing. Yes, in general an iron block will be stronger. But we are not talking in general. We are talking about the Teksid aluminum block, and the design is what makes it so impressive. The fact that Teksid is not going to give up those blueprints anytime soon to be copied without legal recourse says a lot. The design of the 03/04 cobra iron block is an inferior design made with a superior metal. If the 03/04 cobra block was made out of aluminum it is unlikely that they would even hold up to a full bolt on NA cobra, much less a supercharged cobra. But the teksid on the other hand can. Just imagine if they took the process and design of the Teksid aluminum block and made it out of iron. It would be nearly 40% stronger than the current 03/04 cobra block. You can't argue with that. And I think that this best explains everything, and the whole point of this thread. It is the design, not the material. -Jeff [/QUOTE]
