[QUOTE="IronTerp, post: 16618347, member: 12702"] Hear you Stangfreak and appreciate how you handle your opinion. I guess my thing is that every since I bought my first Terminator in Nov, 2003, all I have ever heard was that they run hot and you can't efficiently run higher boost on them without resultant heat robbing factors. Folks would say don't waste your time and money on the Eaton, just go Kenne Bell or Whipple. And many Terminator owners did just that. I started researching how the guys who stayed with the Eatons were doing at the track and compiling a list of those folks that had run 10's with the factory blower. As of Sept, 07', 9 guys had run 10's with the Eaton only, and another 8 had run 10's with the Eaton and Nitrous. Over the next year, for whatever reason, (actually mostly through the dialogue that was happening here on SVTP), pushing the Eaton became very popular and we as a community were starting to figure out how to be successful with it. By 2010, 29 guys had run 10's with the Eaton only, and 28 guys had run 10's with the Eaton and Nitrous. Has obviously died down a bit since these cars are now 17-18 years old! lol But at present the 10 second numbers are at 46 non-nitrous, and 40 w/ nitrous. Out of these 46 non-nitrous 10 second Eaton Cobras, 6 of them were running upper pulley only setups, and 40 were running higher boost upper/lower combinations. Fortunate for me, 18 of these 46 guys were either MACA members or came to track days that I helped to organize. Great way to learn for sure! I apologize for the run-on post. And to your point Stangfreak, this is not just about the dragstrip. My 2.90/6 lb combo was a total blast on the street. Freaking stump puller. As mentioned before, I didn't abuse it on the street, but had some fun just like many of us that own these cars did/do. Understand that this is anecdotal and that possible heat soak issues were/are different for many Terminator owners. Now if you want to really talk about Eaton's running hot, let me tell you about my 07' GT500 experiences!! (at which point, you guys are saying "please don't!! lol) [/QUOTE]
