9 Sec TT 03 Cobra

Shit's weak!

I can't wait to launch with a little more boost.

Thanks for the positive comments guys! It's been a LONG road building this car.

Very nice. You are my role model. I hope to do something similar but do it on a Twin Screw (Probably going to need a touch of nitrous on top of that to hit the numbers a turbo car does). Full weight everything Ford put on the car but better type of thing. Congrats on 3 awesome passes.

congrats on a sick time...I really wish I can start saving my money to build a motor soon.

Your car takes off like a raped ape.

Omg that is sweet!

Can you please share your front coil over setup? Shocks + springs (load).

I have tried three different coil over setups and Im still not happy.

i also have the strange 10 ways up front, except i have 225lb. springs with a d&d coilover conversion kit.
and i have a set of 12 way qa1 coilovers in the back w/150lb. adjustable control arms and a competition engineering anti sway bar. and it dead nuts hooks now, and carries the front tires about 6 inches off the ground for a few feet with only a 1.70 60'

It really isn't anything fancy.

281 Teksid bored .030 over. CP pistons and Manly Pro I beams. SS Ferrea valves. Comp Springs. GT cams. Stock Cobra heads VERY lightly cleaned up. No tricks.

When it was a stick car, the torque was always consistently around 100 ft-lbs lower than the hp.

The torque converter with the auto acts as a multiplier.

what converter and how much stall ?

I just have to say again , thank you for proving that your don't have to be some redneck racer with gutting a completely good looking car just to loose 1\2 of a second.

I can only hope i make enough to come close to your numbers
awesome numbers all around!

Sick car.

Right at 3700 lbs. Nothing has been removed from the car except for the following:

-Supercharger/Intercooler/Heat Exchanger/Intercooler Reservoir and plumbing (and replaced with the turbo kit obviously). I have no idea what that weight difference is.
-Teksid block (saves a little weight over the iron block)
-Solid axle (saves a little weight over the IRS)
-TH400 (pretty close in weight to the T56)
-Bogarts
-K member and coilovers

Everything else is still in the car. Seats front and back, A/C, power steering, locks, airbags, stereo and rear Mach460 deck, carpet, insulation, all of it. Nothing removed specifically for weight savings.

That sounds a little heavy for for what weight reduction you have. Figure without you in it that's around 3500lbs with a solid (-125lbs), Teksid (-75lbs), Bogarts and slicks/skinnies (-100lbs), and K-member/coilovers (-60lbs). Unless that turbo kit weighs way more than the stock blower setup (It could I don't know) you should be closer to 3300lbs?

Ultimate Converter Concepts. Stalls to 3800 as soon as I slam the pedal on the brake, then climbs quickly to about 4200-4300 where it really builds boost.

Thanks Jared. No Stl-speed.net??? How can you get through the day, lol.

I scaled the car and we adjust the antiroll bar accordingly. That was the weight with me in it. I will say, one turbo almost weighs as much as the supercharger. I was very surprised. SFI bell, converter, non-aluminum driveshaft, all the turbo piping, etc. I weigh 185.

YouTube - Battle of the Boards July 3rd 2009

Car is at:

1:28 (1/4=10.04@150, 1/8=6.6@110, 60'=1.70 leaving with 3-4 psi 1st gear=18 pounds 2nd gear=21 pounds and 3rd gear=25 pounds... bumped the controller up in boost after shifting into each gear).

3:23 (On the brakes after the 1/8th since tech yelled at me for going 150mph. 1/8=(1/8=6.5@113 60'=1.69, again leaving with 3-4 psi 1st gear=21 pounds 2nd gear=21 pounds...didn't bump the boost).

4:52 ... I fell out of the video frame because I knew I would lose the round, and I stayed on the brake a little longer trying to build boost. It didn't build much, and still only left with 5 or 6 pounds, but you can sure hear those turbos spooled when I go by!!! (1/4=9.59@147 1/8=6.2@118 60'=1.64 leaving with 5-6 psi. Had the Boost Controller set at 25 pounds all the way down the track).
