my car dynoed 520/568 without the cam...so i would think our dyno numbers should be pretty close and i have the weight advantage....i was kinda curious if ppl thought that if it was a better driver he wouldve pulled on me or if it sounds like a legit heads up race with a good driver?!?!?!?

That's too close to say from the spectator seat... Fun times though, I'm sure.

4.53 @ 153mph in the 1/8th

A 650rwhp KB Cobra is good for about 135mph traps which
is around 6.80 @ 106mph in the 1/8th.

I was thinking about doing kb/whipple with a conservative tune with low boost and still make good power over a ported blower with upper and lower pullies...
