has anyone ever done a turbo/twin-tubro A/C Cobra?
 
There is a wicked supercharged one running around my parts, got me to thinking the other day- anyone ever built a turbo or TT A/C Cobra? If you were going to build one- what powerplant would you start with?

id personally get a used sprint engine on racingjunk and lower compression and change cam... those things are 750+ NA

the last one si a good example of my kind of "dream engine" i would propably sell the stack injection and install a singleplave and carb, or get one without the big buck induction...

but an engine like that in a 2400 lbs cobra would make for one scary ride...

but in reality all you really need is an ls3 with carb and you have a car that is beyond most drivers to use to its full potential

very popular race type head. Require specific pistons and valve train in most cases.

thanks. what would the benefits be of running this style of head over another? (in a street/pro-touring application- not sprint racing)
