I hear you, one of my buddys had one of the first 03s around here and it ran 12.2s on the stock setup +cai at irp on tuesdays unprepped track. But I've seen plenty run 13s & 14s... LOL It's all about driving them hard & knowing how to do it right.

Think that is bad I had a guy call me and ask WTF is my deal why I didn't respond to his text that he sent. I said uh my phone is so old it doesn't have texting service. But it looks cool and everyone thinks it is a satillite phone.

I honestly feel dumber after reading this post. Seriously nobody on here believes an 03 Cobra will do 11.50's with pulley, chip, and exhaust? I am honestly amazed at this. I was doing it in 2003 along with many other guys. A car with 440rwhp pulling a 1.68 60ft will go those numbers. It is common sense. Anyone have a stock 03? Remember Ford underrated the 03/04 Cobra. Most put out 380 to the wheels and more like 425 to the flywheel. If so next time you are at the track please god let me know. I will show you fella's a stocker can go 12.2's-12'3's completely iced down on slicks. I gained 5mph and 2-3lbs of boost by completely icing my car down. Icing those cars down helps out so much cause it lowers the Inlet Air Temperature tremendously providing a lot more boost. Nobody has ever noticed their 03's run a lot better cold when stock? It does not apply to the pulley cars as much because the stock eaton will only put out so much boost before it maxes out. I have learned this all through experience guys. I took my 03 to the track for the first time a week after I had it and was very disappointed with a 13.0 on street tires at only 108mph. I noticed the car seemed to run great cooler so I tried the ice technique. 2 weeks later I took it again and my first pass on slicks was a 12.4 with a 1.75 60ft I think, second pass was a 12.29, and the third was a 12.20@113.5. I am by no means an expert racer but I can ******* drive and shift better than most. I hope somewhere on here there is someone that will back me on this and really knows.
BTW.....it will not be proshifted cause I want to drive it a bunch. I had a proshifted TKO2 in my old fox and it was not to bad to downshift......just don't use the clutch and rev it and it will fall in.
HAHA...missed the nitrous comment. I should be allowed to run a shot 50hp less than what he is running to make it honestly right. Everyone always forgets these cars are 281 cubic inch motors and are down 65 cubic inches and weigh over 200lbs more. That seems to never be taken into consideration when the camparison is done. The mild 8 psi from a blower that is plagued by heat issues and IAt's that these cars have from the factory make up for that 65 cubic inch dfference if you ask me. Ok so I have 12psi now but he gets a monster cam that takes full advantage of the enormous heads the LS1's have along with a big shot of nitrous. Put it into perspective and I am at the disadvantage if you ask me

If you want me to ask him to come out and make a few passes the day this **** goes down, I'd be more than happy to. His new setup should make 475hp and it prob will run 10's easy

It makes 7whp and 9lbs of torque at 1256 RPM. It only weights 26lbs too! I'll race him, hell I'll race anyone!

I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings on here but My Buddy's LT1 is one of the top ten Fastest NA Camaro's in the World, so even though LT1's are not known for putting down power compared to LS1's, His camaro is an exception.

It's a 94 Z that is FULLY Gutted and fully built. He has a 383 LT1 with N2O. It runs good for what he has done to it. I call it - the Little LT1 that could! hahaha It still rocks the stock heads with a SLIGHT port job. But last time I heard, He's looking into finishing up all of the last known things holding him back. He's a great guy who is very knowledgable and knows how to make a car work. I have seen the car run and I'm friends with the guy personally. I'm sure you'll see it. He is around town all summer long. The car should weigh between 29xx and 30xx lbs. this year. Anyways, I think you and him will be a VERY CLOSE race, and IMO it'd be 1 to watch. He's faster than benny (LOL) so I would rather see you 2 race. Sorry Benny 
Anyways, I'm looking forward to all of the $hit talking and head busting to come this race season....
Kevin, Your going down Bro!

Good morning..... 
Welcome to the Indy Thread!!!
Sounds like you'll have a fun car when it's done. Welcome to The Indy Thread and hope to see ya around this summer on 31. You can't miss me. lol
I'm where all the action is. hahaha
Who's car were you refering to?
A stock stroke LS1 with a decent H/C/I/Bolt-On/N2O setup have been known to get between 450-600 rwhp and 450-700 ft. lbs. tq.
Depends on the combo of course. I think Purdueranger put down some crazy #'s in his Red Z. I wanna say 666 rwtq. or something? IDK for sure but maybe he'll chime in.
