You're being so modest but I can see by your writing that you are trying to contain your emotions.

You were fishing for excuses, which is the same as making them. Buttslut.

To be fair the cobra wasn't set up very well based upon its performance

This stuff is hilarious. Imagine if it were a Camaro driven and sounding just like the Cobra here. Zack, your comment and question would be the exact same, but Jake would have a mile long excuse train, which is fine.

The cobra spun, was pulling timing like a ****, with his shift points all messed up, tune all messed up, and he was bouncing off of the rev limiter while short shifting each gear.

Just your typical n/a cobra boost build. Probably 8.5:1 pistons, forged h beams and stock everything else. Coming from a 01' cobra with a built blown setup, he is shifting this WAY early. You can tell by the exhaust note. Sounds like he's barely hitting 6k. Old 4v's are just like coyote's in the fact they need rpm to make power, because of the lack of displacement. Even with the stock cams and intake it should be shifted at 7000-7200. Most people that still drive these cars and shatter a stock motor with a blower are gun-shy about rpm and boost. They just spent their life savings rebuilding it and are scared to turn it.

Yup I preach the same thing. To go fast in those cars and Broginas, they need to rev since they don't have torque and are gutless.

Mike, I will give you hand with this. I believe the words you are looking for is "feminine power"
Its been coined around LS1Tech for some time now.

You're just looking to start something, tard. Go play with the other trisomies.

Hit the nail on the head here. I was actually going to comment on Detoxx starting his races at 3k or below, but he already addressed that.

Sounds about right. People don't know how to build a decent boosted setup these days.

my first version of the b-headed turbo was a 7k shifter. thats just what it liked under turbo boost whether it was 10psi or 16. btw h beams are so obsolete for centri or turbo b head 4v.
