I thought the number was a bit low as well. My buddy was a little disappointed but it was probably just heat soak.

Yes, ported posi eaton

In that case you'll pull him easy.

Lemons, I probably have a little different view of cobras because my friend has a pullied cobra that makes 450 and it runs hard. Besides my car I can find him almost any other 400-430hp fbody and he'll pull them. He drives good and the car is just a beast for what it has. Even before his pulley he could pull cam only fbodys and I even watched him run with pullied cobras before he was pullied.

Ah got ya. My buddies ran pretty good too. Not quite that amazing but I would say above average.

I think in most cases that is ab what it takes though.

You're going to pull him a little as well. It took that Cobra a bit too long to get to 120 mph from what I counted.

From what I've seen the average cobra doesn't run all that great. So the OP should handle him for sure if his car runs good.

I agree. Plus, the OP has a real nice setup.

itll be a good race, but his numbers are low. mine puts that down with just LT's, upper and lower pulleys..no port. you'll pull him by a car or so i believe

I'm the Terminator owner...

Did 3 friendly pulls today when we went to go weigh the cars. Pulls were unofficial and not caught on camera. BTW my Terminator was 3620 empty and 3800 with me in it. His WS6 was 3420 empty and 3600 with him in it, per the highway truck scales

Back to the pulls. Official pulls coming soon and they will be taped

1. 60 Roll - Ws6 hits it SLIGHTLY first. Terminiator was able to just pull 1/4-1/2 a car by 110 where we shut down. Run was VERY close with the Terminator slowly walking up top

2. 55 Roll - Terminator hits it SLIGHTLY first and stays ahead for the whole pull. Terminator ahead by 1/4-1/2 a car by 115

3. 60 Roll - Good start, WS6 pulls slightly ahead by 1/4-1/2 a car and then I missed 4th. I probably would have never caught up

Conclusion? DRIVERS RACE!

As a side note... He had his T-Tops down and his cutout closed. With it open it gives ~10RWHP. When we run the tops will be up and the cutout open. Most likely going to take away the slight slight walk of the Terminator up top

Also, these were by my line of sight. His might be different... Either way, it was super close on all the pulls. In the end, who ever gets the hit will win the race
