Default Some Memphis info

I'm on another forum with some of the boys from NE Arkansas..they have a few cars coming down from there. Some of us know CHRIZ28..he will be there as well as about 10-15 others from what I gather.
This is where it gets interesting..there is a few Mustangs coming also..they want to run some LS1 F-bodies..so I figure there is enough of us to show them what's up..
The fastest one out of them is a Whipple-Charged Terminator, he runs a little faster than a stock C6 Corvette that one of the guy's have..I put that at about a low 12 sec pass for that Cobra.
I've got a $100 bet and a couple of other bets against me that I'm full of **** when I say I can smoke that Cobra..they had a thread about who wants to race him.
On that Forum, only a couple of people know me and actually know what I have, as far as the others..they just know I have a LS1 swap with a couple of mods, that is what I put in my sig..
Time to do a little hustlin..

EDIT: It's a stock Blower..but he still wants to run my "LS1"


3:00 Tuesday at Wal Mart still soundin good..who is definately in?

I'll be there....wish my tranny was GTG and I had my MT's. I've got the wheels, just no rubber until next spring. Oh well, I might have been a good run for the Terminator. Anyway, I'll be watching the action.

^^^Just pre-load the rear-end and lauch from ~2500 and your rear might last. I've got a buddy at my last base cutting 1.5X 60's on a stock 10-bolt, spraying off the line. E.T. of 10.8 at 124.

I don't have a stock one..I built mine up from when I blew it up already..
I have a Auburn Pro-Series Posi that is pretty much like a locker..both spin all the time. They rated it to handle 500/500 through it, I'm close to that at the wheels at full power, but not at a 3000rpm launch, I figure I can give it a little more hell..I'm hoping for a 1.7 60', if it does faster, then I'll run with it.

Yea, that Terminator would be a good run for you..I was thinking of who would be a high-11, low-12 Car to run him. Your's should do that.

Speaking of action..how many of us are bringin Cameras?

Or is it still a Eaton Cobra?

If its Duron, then have fun.

I cut 1.7's before the cam babying it off the line. I would launch at 2500 and let the car jump forward before going WOT (Nitto's only hook so well). With better gears and lighter weight, you should be able to get better than that.

Duron never ran his **** that I know of, I always heard people saying it would run this and that, but he never got a timesip that I know of.

I saw it (Durons Cobra) just a week or two ago. His Lightning from what he said is pretty nasty. Its got a Kenne Bell blower, and a few other things.
