Damn your truck is a beast. I eventually want to go built and TS for my L but that'll be down the road. As it sits, it's def slower than my 03 Cobra but still fun to drive.

thanks guys, i have too much into mine... :rolling:



is yours stock? i know the new ones pull alot harder.
would make a great race!

Mods are in my sig, but I've got an upper pulley with a hanful of other parts just waiting to go on when time allows it. Would love to run your L now and after my new mods. Haven't lost a roll race yet, so it would be a good gauge.

That looked too easy. How well do you think the L with the meth will do up a ported cobra?

well to answer your question, here is my truck running against OEM's cobra.. [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_BY8cqqNW4"]built svt lightning vs ported and pullied cobra (re-match) - YouTube[/nomedia]

and this is without meth. for some reason his cobra runs very strong for only 12psi, he has beaten other pullied cobras with 16+psi

Nice run! Little advice, when you're roll racing like that don't leave it in drive and try to time the downshift against a manual car. Manually put it in 2nd gear and right after you mash the gas bump it up into drive and it'll shift on it's own into 3rd at the normal shift point. Worked perfect for me every time.

i usually do that but this was a 20 roll, 2nd gear wouldnt have pulled hard or would have to downshift also.
1st gear shifts way to fast and its very easy to skip too far ahead
