Cobra vs Cammed LS1

[Boosted_Cobra.]

Well my neighbor has been gunning to beat me ever since the first time I layed the smack down on him (Intake and exhaust 00' Z28). Well Heres the break down.

00' Z28 -
Cam (Not sure specs)
LS6 Intake manifold (He had a LS1)
Pacesetter LT's, Catless Midpipe,Slp lm1
Yank 3600 Stall, Trans cooler
UD Pulley
Lid, Smooth Bellow
Tune


03' Cobra Vert -
Bassani O/R X, and Catback
JLT Cai




We do two rolls, one from 50 and one from 60. From the 50 roll I get out on him and beat him by about 1 car or so.

From the 60 roll, he gets out a 1/2 a car or so, I reel him in and still beat him by about 1/2 car at 130.

Woo, this car runs good for being minimally modded.

I also beat a 400+ 97SS - Heads/Cam/Intake ect. - Beat him by about 1.5 cars.

I also ran dead even with a S-Cam full bolt on, m6 LS2 GTO (I had a passenger, he didnt) but he put down 430 or so on motor, he put it on me though when he sprayed on me.


I got a little weight reduction but nothing to vague.

Nice `thats impressive how your car is running considering ur not pullied yet

 

[rubber duck]

Good kills, a stalled auto definitely wasn't meant to go from a roll.

 

[ColeTrain'sC5]

Go from a dig. That's a real race good roll kills

 

[Ls1z28-00]

thats a good kill for sure, depending on size of the cam he should have beat you. most cam only cars trap 116-117. if it was a real small cam it would probley do 113-114. so if he had a ls6 cam you should win but otherwise i dont see a exhaust only cobra vert beating a cam'd ls1. but anything can happen good kill.

 

[whitey92lx]

get ready. he most likely is going to go buy a nitrous kit and want revenge..

Or a real cam as he should have never lost to a non pullied Cobra.

 

[oxfordwhitemach]

Good kill.

 

[drex]

great kill

 

[Boosted_Cobra.]

cam is 238/xxx he said

 

[big reg]

A cam that big with I am assuming 240+ exhaust duration would put down around 415-420rwhp cam only. I put down right around 400 with the cam in my sig w/o an UDP and a slipping clutch.

Edit..... NVM I just saw he had an auto. Not the best from a roll especially with stock gears.

+1. A cam that size should put down power comparable power to an intake/exhaust Cobra. But in a much heavier vert, I wouldn't think you'd have a chance at all without a Pulley.

But as the saying goes, anything can happen on the street.

Nice kill OP.

 

[Tampa03cobra]

The stall auto was holding him back, but good kill!



Nice to see another vert out there mixing it up! Don't be discouraged by non believers, I hear people tell me all the time vert's can't run with bikes on internet either, but I have proved them wrong a few times now >_<

 

[BayareaSS]

Nice Kills.

Sounds like all 3 cars you beat should of pulled you. And a cam that big in an ls1 should do a lot better. Without a pulley i wouldn't think you'd be able to beat any of them.

+1, what they said!

but its always more fun when you beat a car that you shouldnt! and like pworld said...ANYTHINGGG can happen on the street!

but good kill!! :rockon:

 

[KduncSS]

Not the outcome I would have expected but ok. What gears is the Camaro running? If it has 2.73's I could probably see this happening. If it has 3.23's or higher then maybe he needs a tune?????? Your run with the H/C/I LT1 is not far off but I would have also expected the LS2 goat to pull on you.

The stalled auto comments are totally true, but even so I would think he should have edged you out. Oh well, good kill. You guys should do a rematch from a dig. Id like to know the outcome.

Nice runs, especially with your very minimal mods. :beer:

Don't know why there are so many non-believers in Cobra Verts, they're only about 100 pounds or so heavier than the coupes.

I'm not surprised how the OP fared, all the Stalled/Auto LS1's I've come across have really disappointed me in their performance from a highway roll. Generally speaking, I usually find that they make a better showing running from a dig.

I was about to say that! Everyone is like, that "heavy ass vert" and yes I'm biased because I have one. The numbers don't like though, 3780 for the vert and 3664 for the coupe so we're only talking about a little more than 100 lbs or about 1/10th in the quarter mile!

Most people dont pick the right converters for their cam/setup....

There are also different converter types to go with [ I'm sure you know this ].
Most F-Body guys run the Yank ss3600-4000 which is a good converter but is more efficient off the line and not as much on the top end.

The PT series is a lot better on the top end. I wonder what kind of stall [ brand ] he has. Also, a 3600 isn't enough stall for the cam that he is running which I think is a factor in you beating him...

Good kills and I'm not trying to take away from your car just stating my opinion.:beer:

 

[04A4GTO]

That's what he gets for racing from a roll in a stalled auto... he should know better.
