Procharged 96 Cobra vs 99 TA with MS3 cam, who wins!?

[corysmach1]

im going cobra just bc i ran a ms3 formula and put a car and half on him before letting out. but i make 473. how many psi you running cory?

10lb pulley...peaked at 11.4 psi

 

[corysmach1]

Given from my own personal experience with nearly the same setup as the T/A, If the Trans am owner can drive the balls off that thing, he should win all day long. Given it should be close, but the edge to the ms3 cammed car.

now that being said, traction and how high the ms3 car is revving out will be the win or lose.

what gears are in the trans am?

He can drive....he revs it to like 6800rpms and it dead hooks from anywhere.

 

[corysmach1]

stock 342s, and i have mt's 305s...it will hook.

I'm not sure everyones logic here. the cobra has 40 more wheel, same tq, is lighter, and has a better gear. I am betting I will get walked.....

you are lighter by 30 pounds and i may have 20rwhp on you.....dyno numbers are dumb. the mach showed that. Even your cammed car runs real hard and beats or runs with people it shouldnt.

Some cars/drivers are no good. I see that all the time.

Exzactly...

I'm sure If I told people how much hp I made all motor after we ran they would say I was full of it lol. Cory you know all about that. Its kinda fun being that guy :banana:

BTW, I'm changing my prediction. Cobra by 1.5 cars

 

[2sick4v's]

I think the cobra will win by a few cars as well. It's nice to to have one car after another that runs good lol, but i think it's all in the driving imho.:coolman:

 

[corysmach1]

we will see its going down tomorow night.....

6spd right?

you better start off in 1st gear.....revv the shit out of that bitch.

6800 isnt bad, but 7k with a ms3 is more like it....

Every motor responds different. You can't just assume every ms3 cammed car is going to be shifted at the same rpm. I'm sure these guys know when to shift a car

 

[SSmokinn SS]

very true, however the ms3 doesnt even peak until 6800rpms....

Exzactly....wish we were doing a dig or 20 roll. My car is weak from a 40.

So you sold a mach 1, a terminator and now have an sn95 cobra? Interesting progression of cars haha.

Should be a good race. On paper the cobra should win.

 

[brians91formula]

Waiting for the video but I think it will be really close. Could go within 1 - 1.5 cars in either direction.

Frustration with the mach caused that sale....money was an issue with the 03 cobra....but I love 96-98 Cobras....on paper from a dig the cobra should win however we are roll racing so we will see.

Looking forward to the results What was the deal with the mach?

5 transmissions...2 of them being built......caught on fire. fixed it....eventually blew up on the dyno. sold it.

Not with an LS6 intake it won't. 6400rpm... 6500 at most.

interesting...

I have a ls6 intake manifold and stock 241 heads on my car, and from 6000rpms to 7k, It only lost 2hp...
