If you have a really fast Cobra, you'd have to shift to 5th in the 1/4 with 4.30. 4.10's are marginal and 3.90's would be about the best bet for a fast car.

I just move the rev limit up a tad, get those bigger ET Streets, jack in a couple more ponies -- as they say on TV Wah-lah (no comments required literary boys) Have it taching 7,000 in 4th on those bigass crinkle wall mofos.
Get the skinnie minnie fronts, remove the sway bar, supercool this piggie piggie Vert.
Sounds like heaven!!!
Hold on Nellie!!!:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Hey Tetge we have a member in NorCal that's already trapped around 121mph with 3.55's at Sac. Might be borderline with 4.10's. Have you thought about going with some 27"-28" tires?

Exactly my thinking with the 4.30s. Maybe 8,000 RPM... 30 inch tires --- who can do the math, I lost my sliderule
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
OX and I will arm wrestle for the 4.30s. Juan will be my proxy.
:eek:

I was just about to hit the gym to prepare for imminent victory, but noticed that Juan was to be your proxy. It would cost me more the gear & pinion themselves to hire a professional arm wrestler, so you win. Next time, I plan to recruit Juan to do my dirty deeds first!

If I ran Sac, I might be concerned, although if I run out of revs in 4th at the 1/4, I will be going 11's for sure, and I would not care if I had to lose some acceleration by revving past the power curve in 4th. My 4th should go over 130 at 7000 RPM.

kinda sorta... I had the white stock mach at the beach cruise we did. I met you there but we met lots of new people. The saleen is getting finished but the Mach is Gr40'd out and ready to go :) After SEMA I'm down for as many open trackin' events as possible. Just let me know. AND, if we play our cards right then we might even get David out :p
Btw, I've known Brian(B&D) for years...

No I took the car to Griggs for an install. We were real annal with the setup because of the people that will be driving this car. It's gone to everybody to have their stuff put on by them. Griggs, bassani, vortech ect...

I worked at Vortech for 3+ years but I used to live up the street from Brian. He put a tremec in my cobra 5-6 years ago... That was a long time ago.

And, I'm Trevor. Good to meet you! I'll be at the next track event 1 way or another. :burnout:
