Alright just to clarify, it weighs 3280 with no gas w/o me in it. It was 3420 with no gas when it was all stock. The irs adds about 80lbs over a mach 1. The cams are only 228@.050 which are out of steam at 7000rpm. The fr500 is strongest from 6000-8000rpm, so no i am not using all of the intakes potential. Intake choices are limited for the 4v motor and it is better than a stock intake, whitch on a stroker is done at 6100. I could have gone a point more compression if I was staying n/a. That and 10 more deg on the cams would be 20 more whp. I also have resolved an ignition issue since that video, so we are going to run again. We also need to try it from V8EATER's roll. That race was from 40 which I can be in first and he was at the bottom of second.
Get that supercharger bolted on ASAP.

Yep, ya got me. Typical mustang racer. Not trying to make excuses. Just trying to clear up the argument that was happening in the first couple posts. Were going do a few more pulls some from a 50 roll where the gto is at an advantage.

Having the big bore does help a bit down low over the 4.6 tho. Don't forget gears 3.73s are way off from the gears needed for a fr500 setup. Car should fly on the blower

Pull your head out your *** last I checked ~3360 is pretty close to 3420.
Typical Mustang racer excuses. Run what you brung, no need to list a gazillion reasons as to why your setup doesn't perform to its potential. Besides, all the OP needs is a FAST and a good set of ported heads and you're **** out of luck again. lol

Automach, let me inform you on some stuff. His car is not gutted. For weight savings it has full exhaust, gutted trunk, no rear seats and no a.c.. clearly to you, this cobra is still a tank, but it's not a gutted race car. Nazman made 500whp on a 5.3 with about the same cams as him. Huge cams are not needed in mod motors. It revs to 7500. It has more compression than stock, another point would have been worth at most 10whp. So like I said, while not optimized for n.a., it's not like it's 100hp down.
Automach, you such a nutswinger. I posted a video of a cobra making about 150whp more than stock and lighter than stock and all you can do is bitch about how its compression isn't high enough (even though its higher than stock), his cams are too small and its too heavy. Are you serious? This cobra will make more power than your mach by miles. This is a good running car now and will be even better once the blower goes on.

not for nothing boys... but if we are gonna talk about all out crazy na cars... then who the hell uses shelf cams? The cam should be the last piece of the puzzle... not the first.
