93 Cobra needs input · 10-22-2002, 06:15 PM

O-ya about the compression thing I have to take that out of my sig. I wanted to go N/A then switched to boost I went with dished JE pistons 8.5:1. My goal for the car is to have my Cobra run high 10's low 11's at the track and be semi streetable. I switch alot of parts on and off for race/street. Suspension shocks,springs,gears, Eric you brought up a good point If I want to dump the clutch at 5,500 with slicks I suppose the torque of the launch puts alot of extra stress on the blocks main caps and stuff. Do you think the R-block is streetable. I'm thinking of going with a blueprinted sportsman block from Keith Craft, DSS girdle and keep my boost to 9psi max. Maybe I can lighten the car for more speed!
