Also 398RWTQ seems VERY high. My bolt-on T/A dyno'd 360RWHP with 365 ft-lbs. Mods are in my sig, a headers/lid T/A will not put down 398RWTQ, sorry.
He didnt pull on them. He hooked and went while they spun. They were both catching back up but ran out of road

i remember seeing a vid a loooonng time ago on ls2.com.. where a guy had just bolt ons X pipe and 4.10 i believe was a T/A as well. i think all the races were in germany, and he was pulling on cobras. he was just able to hook from a dig and pull.

everyone who's doubting... watch the black cobra spin. i didn't believe that all the t/a had was headers and lid either. low and behold, that's all she's got. the car went 110 here ( in the land of ******* 8500+ d/a), that's damn good considering the mods.

The only reason a lesser car yanks more powerful cars is due to traction, driver mod or lack there of, and bad mod setup.......

The Cobra's were spinning, which is why the T/A won

I was just messing with him. But seriously, it would take a retard driving 450rwph cobra to lose to a bolt on ls1. I make 361 on motor and I haven't lost to another bolt on ls1 (raced many). It takes my 100shot to run with my bothers pullied cobra. But thats what I love about the street, anything can happen!
