Oh what a night
I'm not going to punish your eyes with the long versions of this story. I will try to sum it up. 3 races in one night. Made a nice piece of money. 1st was a SS. The guy has an auto and thought a converter, nittos, and a cam was all he needed to walk me. Ha ha. Raced him and had 4 on him by the time I was in the middle of 2nd. I don't know this guy and after he fell further behind I aborted the run. Ran him again and the same results. Cool guy.$$$$$
Next race a Malibu (With Slicks) This was fun but I knew I could beat him. He crushed me off the line but he couldn't hold me off. I caught up to the rear of his car at the end of second. I passed him in third and won the race.$$$$$
The last run was THE BEST RACE I HAVE EVER HAD. This run was for ***** and grins. It was a 04 Cobra with the monsterous Kenny Bell blower. Now before ANYBODY starts questioning the driver's ability, he is a very very good driver ( It's my Boy) but to his credit he need some tires bad (we both do). 1st race was from a dig. We took of and he spun worst than me and I got a 1/2 car lead. All through the gears it stayed that way. The spin cost him that race. The second race we go from a dig and we both take of good. I power shift 2nd and the car went into a serious fish tail and I thought I was going to lose it and of course I lost the race. We both wanted to go from a roll of 30 or so to about 120 and I got the jump and held him off the entire time. Damn it was fun. That Snake is sweet and loud as hell and it's a funny feeling hearing that thing running up from behind you. I didn't get home until 6:45am. The War department (my girl) was pissed. So I had to fork over some the hard earned cash to kinda get out of the dog house. All in all I will do it again because it was mad fun.

What type of heads/cam do you have? Not really looking for exact specs, but a general type/size would be nice.
What about the block? Is it a stock block, forged, stroked?
Stock rear end, 12 bolt, 9 inch, 8.8???
What's it dyno? What's it run at the track?
I'm not asking for exact specs or anything out of the question, but it makes the story much more interesting when you know something about the car the person is driving ... just looking for alittle info, i'm not bustin *****.
nice runs.

Thanks. I want to get it tuned for a 150shot but I think I will be exceeding it's limit. I also got my window switch hooked up now so I don't have to be scared to drive it like I stole it.

So you got H/C setup, M6, and apparently you're spraying less than a 150 shot, and you have bald tires, and...you put 4 cars on an SS with cam, converter, and (by the way you said it) a decent set of nittos, by the middle of second?
Cutting to the chase, If you're on a 100 shot, I'm estimating around 500hp on the juice. But you said you sprayed the Cobra, not the SS. So I'm now estimating about 400 - 420hp now....and you put 4 cars on him by the middle of second...
Not to be an *** or anything, but I call BS. I'd call BS on the "4 cars by the middle of second" even if you were spraying 150 on him.
