From videos on youtube ported eaton cobras seem to be better than kbs for the money invested...

I know this has to be due to the driver or supporting mods becuase more power and a more effiecent blower should run better obviously lol

Well like I said earlier, me and the ported Cobra ran 4 times. Here is the better of those runs. Seemed to be a clean race and he just pulls hard up top. It was a good death..

This has been my point the whole time, your car should run even or so with a ported cobra depending on cobras mods other than port. A kb cobra will rape a ported cobra up top. Makes no sense how you run with a kb cobra which I believe you shouldn't and get pulled by a car with less power than the kb cobra. Your car shouldn't run with a proper kb cobra.

Ported Cobra is lighter has has better tires. The driver has also had is car longer and was more falmiliar with it. There are so many variables to go into it.

That's exactly how I imagined the race would go between the Gto and kb cobra. Irony at its finest.

Cant just slap an upgraded blower on a car and expect it to be really fast...

Once Op gets some more seat time and better tires should be a different outcome.

I have a race against both OP and the GTO once I get a a few maintence issue fixed. I think the vert has a crap tune in it (sorry slobra but being honest) because his tuner has a bad rep for blowing terminators! Slobra, have u posted ur dyno graph here ( sorry aint going to read 11 pages) if not u should. My car isnt crazy fast but based on his tune and outcomes of prior races I am sure I can roll out on the vert. The GTO has great gear for 60 rolls but low on tq so it will be a close run and that blk porter cobra showed that.

Dom is gonna swing by tomorrow with Randall and he is gonna take a look at the car and see what he thinks. Like to get some experienced Cobra guys in the seat to see what they feel.

Have you done a compression test lately? Every time I changed plugs I would run a compression test.

Agreed. 60 rolls usually work in my favor. Below that, I can seem to get decent traction even with these 275 drag radials. Spring needs to hurry up and get here. I'm excited for our run too.

Here's a decent little video of the cars I've raced....Big thanks to Bob at Stiegmier performance, his new stage 6 ports (with throttle body and plenum ported to match) have really impressed me...
