04 Cobra Vs Stalled, spray LS1 Okay so this guy at my shop is picking up a 04 Cobra Vert, it has 515 to the wheels not sure on all mods but I know it has 4:10 gears and a stock clutch but it has 515 RWHP.
My Trans Am is a Full exhuast, Lid, NX wet kit will spray 125 shot, and a 3400 stall converter will run M/T E/T streets. This will be tuned I haven't tuned it yet tho.
Do you think I can give him a run?

Dig is your best bet, he should have you out powered a little bit on the top end, but a hard launch on drags w/ converter, gears and spray should pull out front pretty hard.

Go from a stop or a very slow roll. Maybe up the shot to a 150 just in case. Don't be intimidated by his power. Most Cobra's don't seem to use their power as well as we do, especially the convertible cars for whatever reason.
Oh yeah, what brand converter?

IMO he has you with you on a 125, heres a vid I made from a couple local guys.
The Cobra driver can drive his *** off, good enough to get a stall, sprayed ls1 with mt dr out the hole with just some nittos on the cobra

Unless he's running a 28" tire, he's running way too much gear. That 4.10 is going to make launching impossible on a 26" drag radial with all the low end torque from the roots blower. Bad choice on his part. Given that, run him from a dig. I suspect that you'll stomp him considering you have a stalled automatic and he's not going to get out of the hole well.
If you go from a roll, make sure it's a slow roll...like 15mph. He'll smoke
the tires and you'll walk right past him. Don't run him from a 35+ roll.

Except......since this car will be new to him, I'd bet you have a 'decent' shot even from a 35+ roll. Once he gets seat time, you wont' have a shot at that roll.

The guy works in my shop and won't shut his mouth about how bad *** he and his new car is. He has a huge head about it, so I would love to hurt his feelings with my T/A that I have less than 7k in.
