Tom H has been coming to Z Car Garage with his Salt Flat Crew for many years. We helped tune their early Studebaker and Sprint cars that went on to make several record passes.

Tom has owned this Cobra since 2000 and he replaced the small block with a 427 fed by four Weber carbs. For the last two years he was fighting driveability issues. Rob found the transition between the pilot circuit and main circuit had a big hole in it and the car would fall flat on its face under wide-open-throttle, eventually catching up with itself.

After ~20minutes on the dyno Rob turned a stumbling car into a totally driveable beast making 404hp and 480 tq to the wheels!
