well i hope to, but who knows, this is an ongoing project, so if i don't now, i will do whatever it takes to get there and then some. and i guess its the poor economy but some of the big boys around here are selling their cars, this guy/boy and his dad who has a 9 sec cobra. my bro in law messed something up on his 3.4 blower'd gt500 and is putting off fixing it for awhile, he somehow turned down his power to the 600whp range. so maybe i can catch up.

You know your car better than me. What are your ET's / trap speeds?
I would prepare for the Cobra to be running a 10.50 at 134mph on spray.

Whats' your setup going to be...a 408 on spray with all the suspension goodies and tires? If you spray a 150 shot and you don't smoke the tires, I
would think you'd stomp him pretty good.
