Wow Mark. Those are some hard choices. They all look great. I think my choice would be Calypso Coral Front Induction. It has a bit of the old Boss 302 feel to it.

My second choice would be Maroon Light Stripe Front Induction.

Red has been done to death.

I agree with Patrick... tough choice! Seems like the Calypso Coral color is very much period, and it is my choice as well, but I could go either way with the scoop... maybe leaning ever so slightly toward the rear induction.

No matter, this will be cool whatever color/hood you choose[thumb]!

We had “dyno” day at Jon Kaase’s shop on Tue, Jul 5th. The BOSS 529 engine made 700 lb-ft torque @ 4850 RPM and 740.3HP at 6000 RPM. The test measured 3400 rpm through 6500 rpm and the torque never went below 608 lb-ft torque.

Go to this link (and then scroll down the page (4) of the link)… is has pictures and a link to a video… That’s Jon Kaase in last picture Page 5 of the link has the #'s and graph. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/advertisers-forum/109496-not-would-ever-fit-cobra-boss-528-bbf-buildup-4.html (http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/advertisers-forum/109496-not-would-ever-fit-cobra-boss-528-bbf-buildup-4.html)

The guy with a hair challenge is Brent Lykins, my engine builder. He got lots of kudo’s from Kaase and his team for the engine build having made such good numbers in a “streetable” engine.

Kaase even took us to lunch.

It was a good day.
