Saw X2C's 1000 HP Cobra in Action

[RedfireVert]

I was there. I was impressed.

Last night at Irwindale Speedway X2C ran their 868 RWHP Cobra. It ran one 1/8 mile pass...6.1x (it was hard to see the board).

According to Dean, the X2C employee, this car runs the full quarter in mid-nines. The car's equipped with a big turbo, 150 lb. injectiors, and a stock long block. It's even running original pistons. In case you're curious, it's 25 lbs. of boost that's giving the numbers.

Dean said that the X2C turbo kit costs about $8-10K installed and dialed in. All piping is custom fabbed. That sounds like something I may seriously consider...

I'd love to see a video of one of those runs!

WOW, now thats a fast. 8k really does sound reasonable for that kind of power. Maybe in a year or two.

Thats for sure, sounds like its worth the wait.
And stock pistons to boot, SICK!

We will soon see a turbo 03' in south Florida......

We'll have to see how long the pistons last under that kind of load. 800+ hp and a stock long block are not a great combo for a long life expectancy. If you're putting money like that into the car, adding a built long block would be a good idea.

Who's going to be first into the 8s?

 

[Griffin]

He will have the capability, but actually doing it will be another story.

It should see 1000rwhp as well......

I was there and saw that pass....What's funny is that time was with only 9psi; apparently they were having issues with the wastegate.....setting was wrong or something........:bowdown:

 

[JaketheSnake]

this is why i want to go turbo so bad!

 

[JNY XXX]

There's also talk of there being a big, single-turboed 03 in Columbus come Spring 2004.

In any event, that X2C Cobra owns.
