i have a 03 Cobra with very few mods;
Steig. stage 5 port
K&N CAI
2.9 upper
SCT tuned by Brendspeed
Most of the modifications come with suspension and the solid rear end built by DTS.
Brenspeed in North Webster, IN tuned the car with 470whp saying my mass air was pegged and needed to 4lb lower pulley, upgrade injectors, mass air and a boost a pump to get over the 500whp mark.
I was able to get to a 12.4 in the 1/4 mile with my current setup & first track appearence. My 60' time is horrible and i need to practice better launching (i admit im not the best driver). However i would like to help that by purchasing a few rear wheels and possibly a set of rear slicks or drag radials.
So here are a few questions;
What would the best wheel size (backspace also) be for my built solid rear set up? It is a solid 8.8 with GT rotor/caliper setup.
What about tire size for that wheel size? I already run a set of mickey 315/30/18 drag radials. I am thinking about trying a set of slicks?
Any thoughts, past experiences or advice you guys have would be greatly appriciated.
