I like to use crank numbers because they are unaffected by drivetrain issues. If you put an aluminum driveshaft on a car, you're gonna pick up a rwhp or two. Less rotational mass, more efficient driveline, and that equals more hp at the wheels.
But who has the ability to measure the hp at the crank, its something you have to live with.

Cobra cam with 1.7's. .479"/.479" 270*/270*

Still quite a bit smaller than the E cam.

I don't care if your combo wouldn't run, Sedanman. If you knew how to tune your car, it would have unless something was wrong with it.
Right this from a guy with a stock motor that admits to having not tuned it in 30K miles. My stang traped 105.5 with stock (not roller) 1.6 rockers. On a 156K short block with only 3.55 gears so not tuned my ***.

With 1.7:1 rockers, it has a reputation for performing well. The 1.7's on the E cam make lift a little high. About .530.
I would not reccomend 1.7 rockers to anyone let alone a car with a aftermarket cam, I would recommend switching to a E cam and trading or selling your 1.7's for a set of 1.6's. The simple fact that you will get a better valve train geometry makes the switch worth it by it self.
