2nd run - Cammed, Forged motor (Forged 346ci with stock heads), built auto (Stalled), plus bolt-ons and a shot. Z28 (LS1) - We go from a 45-50 and he had low bottle pressure (700-800psi) he pulls out about a car and holds it till 130. We run again but this time he's completely outta nitrous, I pull about 2 cars till 120 and shut down.

:


this is an auto, and should be good for mid/low 11's. he would rape the shit out of you, even with low bottle pressure.

sorry, not quite believing all of this. that would be a tough race even if you were pullied and a great driver--i'd still expect you to get beat

Nice Kills/Deaths....

Sounds like the F-Body Boyzzzz setups aren't fully optimized. Even though stalled auto run better from a dig the should do well from a roll especially with a cam....

Probably have a crap TCI converter....even with the other issues [ running out of nitrous and nitrous tune ]

OP did you buy your car stock and do the mods yourself? Have you had your car on a dyno just to see where its at? Seems like you either have a freak or the guys you were racing can't drive for shit. Good kills all the same.

We thought that so I installed a autometer boost gauge and it actually is reading 6psi, they said it should read 7 but my belt is stock and im close to 50k and I have no cats.

boosted cobra, what side of town are you in?

Eastside but im leaving for college the 15th and ill be outta town till may

Hey man im always down to run, you let me know. Hit me up on Rowboat Productions | Home

Does your wife go to San Jac Central? I had a lady in a summer class who drove a red cobra like yours. Bring your fox out I got a buddy with a fox and it runs pretty good for what he has. a little fox on fox action never hurt noone lol

well the guy i was racing went 11.4 lifting the wheels with a lid, catback and 100 shot and its an auto. Not hard to race a auto. I think alot of the videos of cobras getting waxed has to do with the cobra owner not driving good.



Bought the car bone stock. 4x4 and everything, even the usual 30k alternator failure. I bought a bassani cb and a x-pipe and a jlt cai and a check engine light. Thats all I got and a mgw handle. I cut coupe springs and thats about it.


Im going to dyno for 20 bucks and 2 pulls :rockon: the 24th I think.

you do realize your picking on some stupid cars like the trucks and the s2000 all are no threat whatsoever. z 28 eh if hes got some shit and the same with the ss. and as far as the sti and evo who knows but dont even waste posting up about the trucks no one cares that you pulled a pickup unless its one badass lightning or tbss or a srt8 jeep the rest are just stupid

regardless if it was a build ls1 or a cobra or a 1500 truck... everyone looks like they lost by 2 or 3 cars LoL

Well this car of mine impresses me more and more everyday. Cant wait till I actually put some real bolt-ons on and see what she can do. (Vert Cobra with o/r X, CB, CAI, no tune.; and some weight reduction [no spare and a racing seat]) + I have the driver mod. I was hittin those gears hard!





1st run - SRT-4 with a 30R - we run from a 45 and he's on 21psi (said he can run up to 25 psi but was having problems with the boost controller) I have about 2-3 cars on him at 120ish

2nd run - Cammed, Forged motor (Forged 346ci with stock heads), built auto (Stalled), plus bolt-ons and a shot. Z28 (LS1) - We go from a 45-50 and he had low bottle pressure (700-800psi) he pulls out about a car and holds it till 130. We run again but this time he's completely outta nitrous, I pull about 2 cars till 120 and shut down.

3rd run -
35R 06 WRX STI - We go from a 50 roll and he gets out on me about 1 car or so and holds it till 130.

4th run
- C5 Vert with full exhaust, intake, tune - We go 3 way with a Cammed/100 shot 6.0 GTO. The GTO pulls both of us by about 2 cars but I pull the vette by about 1.5-2 cars as well.

5th run - MS3 Cam, Stalled, Forged 346ci SS - He had his nitrous tune on, I romped him by about 4-5 cars easily shutting down at 120. (He didnt bring his bottle

6th run - Dodge 06+ Single Cab Daytona with Full bolt ons and a Cam - We go from a 40 and I put 3 on him and shut down at 100.

7th run
- Crew Cab Chevy 1500 (Cam + unknown mods) - we go from a 25 roll, I spin hard and have a car get in my lane but still pulled 2 cars and shut down at around 110

8th run - Unknown modded lightning - We go from a 40-45, I get out about 2 cars and shut down pretty early

9th run - 10th anniv. Cobra Coupe (Mods unknowned, all I saw was a cb) - Pulled about 2 on him till 120 and shut down.

After these runs my clutch and transmission was feeling notchy like a mug so I couldnt play on the way home. :beer:

lol ok brah, I didnt pick anyone I was just chasing around with the cars and happen to run whoever wanted too. Your a retard for saying what you said. Do you even know anything about a s2000? Thank you, they can make 600whp on the stock motor with just a bolt on turbo kit and some racegas and its a 2.0l. That daytona runs low 12's/high 11's on a shot. LOL typical meat head V8 owner who thinks every car other than his is slow and his is the only car that can make power. Come to Houston, there are plenty of 4cyl and 6cyl/trucks that will crack your ass.


LOL if you dont care then why did you post? Seems contradictory to me. :D

I half way want to move to Texas, I hate not being able to drive my car for 4-5 months out of the year. Post more vids. Your car seems like it moves out. Have you ever run your car in the 1/4?

I like how everyone called out the :bs: flag on ya..Even without a pulley your car could be making 410-420rwhp+ and you have weight reduction. Good runs.

with no pully i find all that hard to beleive


Curious why you think an upper pulley is going to change things a whole bunch? You do realize that the pulley doesn't really add as much as people think it does. It is usually done along with other mods so people assume its raising the boost that does the meat of the power increase, but in more than a few terminators that have been worked on in my garage I saw bigger gains from the CAI and Midpipe/ exhaust +tune, vs 2.80 pulley+tune. The motor from the factory is choked up big time.


Both of those LS1s would have put the hurtin on him, but since they were forged I would almost bet they are lower compression (so they can spray more gas!), so they were leaving a ton on the table running him no bottle. I'm not saying it's something that was bound to happen, but I wouldn't rule it out.
