Built a new 96 cobra blocked engine, with.020 over C P pistons, billet rods and a stock cobra crank....i ported the bowls only and installed new stainless valves. I am trying some custom cams we had made from new blanks and some crower springs and retainers. I made some changes in the rear and went to a locker for the brute strength it provides, it is also narrowed to allow the tires to set all the way under the car and sit it low for stability over 140 mph..trans was freshened and showed no signs of wear...perfect...going to experiment with a new valvebody P.A. is developing now. The fuel system is being changed from front to back and going return style...using two bosch pumps for reliability since it will be used to go back and forth to work and for other pleasure use. The fuel system will support over 1,000 rwhp and will be enough to supply my nitrous system too which will be unlike anything yet seen. Going to keep the car for daily use keeping the a/c, power steering and everything else in it. I lightened the front end with a custom k-member made by my chassis guys....complete with tubular arms and coil overs too. Using the 2.4 k-b and with alot of tuning and tricks i want to go mid to low 9's on motor and i don't think it will be much trouble to get there....after that...like shoey which i will be helping out this year we both want to be in the 8's...but i still want to be able to daily drive mine if the weather is nice...going to swap race seats in when racing too to get some weight out....battery is trunk mounted now too....hope it all works as planned!!
