Your argument is STILL weak.

I see your point. The heads comparison is wrong, but the Cobra's basic design for forced inudction is the INDISPENSABLE part. Forced Induction is an external alternative to supplying oxygen to the cylinders. There is a "difference" when you are comparing NA and FI engines.
Upon discovering my POINT, you validated my post. NA LS1 > NA DOHC Cobra 4.6L
FI LS1 > FI DOHC Cobra 4.6L

you said...
Ever heard of a Mach1? It only has 281cubes vs. the 346ci LS1 and it runs neck-and-neck with LS1's in bone stock trim. What's your arguement now?

Cobras have blowers, who ****** cares, I know I don't. None of the local 1s impress me anyway.EDIT:Honestly Unit, "the" arguement is definitly old. I really could careless. I was just making a small point. I grow tired of the GM guys excuse of FI, and I grow tired of Ford guys excuse of ci. That is all.
