capacity tends to be above 8 litres and 500bhp isn't uncommon.

Bloke i picked my engine stand up from at the weekend was working on his AC cobra when I got there. Engine was out, Rover V8, DTA fuel injection, homemade custom Vortech supercharger install, NOS injected, well over 1000bhp...

Runs sub-11s 1/4 mile apparently Surprised

my 500bhp meant to be 5000bhp btw.

11's up the strips about right due to gearing

rover v8 over 1000bhp? slim - no chance.

No, really. Just found him on the Cobra club forum

http://www.cobraclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5813

That was over 2 years ago, before he had the NOS properly running by the looks of it too!

Here's his gallery:

I should mention he clearly had a bit of money, and wasn't afraid to spend it in the pursuit of more power!

Surprised
