The last time I talked to them about a setup for the '93 cobra it was 1200hp+ for the triple hat and hp gss walbro pumps on gasoline. E85 is a completely different story.....

Sorry, wasn't putting his system down at all. I just assumed everyone knew that you multiply that number by 1.25 approximately and you get what his max would be on gasoline. which is what you said.

Most tracks around here won't say anything if you don't have a cage. This cage is from Mia motorsports, guy came from the southernoutlaw shop. It's a weld in 10pt cage
