a4 or m6? if a4 what stall? aside from that, you could port your heads, fast 92, underdrive pully, more aggressive cam.

I would imagine nitrous would be the cheapest way. Who cares if he beats you though, if he is talking **** he is probably a tool.

I assume you are M6 since no stall is mentioned so yea I agree with heads if you don't wanna go on dope.

I beat a S/C Cobra by a length from a 55-130 roll. I have no idea what mods he had cause he turned off after the run. I was easing up beside him and heard him go about the time my bumper got even with his back door and we both had to back off when we came into a curve. Sounded like he at least exhaust.

Also depends on what mods he has. I have to admit those cars are strong with E/CAI and a pulley.

On second thought a 4.10/4.11 gear might be all you need.

haha that sounds about right. on another note... why dont you want to spray it? a nice wet kit set up and tuned right will be a lot more cost effective and fairly on the safe side if done right. at any rate good luck with him. like motoo344 said... hes probably a goob just spouting off at the mouth.

Saw your thread in Internal before it got nuked. Nothing wrong with the cam. Add some heads and gears. So a Cobra is beating up on you. No matter how fast you are, someone is always faster. Go Forced Induction or Nitrous if you want to beat up on some kids Terminator with your current setup.

I'd say gears now would do it if you are close, heads would throw you over the top unless he does the basic cobra stuff in which you need gears + heads. 3.42 gearing on a m6 is a slug once the cam's in.

This all depends on what mods he has. One of my buddies has a WS.6 that raped two cobras back to back when he was just full bolt on and tune with nittos. Maybe get you some tires? (He was a 6 speed). However if you are racing from a roll it may be a different story. From about a 50 mph roll, I only begin to slowly walk away from a terminator at about the 100mph mark with the mods in my sig. (No ls6 intake however).

That's not really a Bolt-on.. maybe the Supercharger part of it for those of us guys with L92/LS3 Heads..

Heads should stroke him but might as well do the FAST 92/92 as well. Gears won't hurt either will some nice tires. Tires and gears will do wonders if you haven't already done them.

v3/p and p heads or aftermarket/ gears should change the outcome by a good bit.
