lol the bolt on cobras did better than the whipple...but apparently he short shifted or something.

and IMO i can hardly see why a pulley wouldn't be a "bolt on"...i mean it literally is a bolt on upgrade...and still stock motor and stock eaton. just a smaller pulley. not much different then udp's IMO. yes it would make it a "pullied" cobra. but it would still be bolt on as well IMO

That's is my whippled cobra my tuner (PSI) f__Ked up my tune bad my car was running like **** i got beat by a pullied cobra.My car was running lean and no timing in it.I was racing it because i was told by PSI it was tuned and dyno. It dynoed at 678HP and i have the dyno sheet to prove it.Well after i got beat by the vette and cobra i called TriangleSpeedShop and asked them to look at my tune. I showed him the dyno sheet and he laught at it and said there is no way that this car made that much HP with that tune.The car was running lean and no timing they retuned it and it's running a lot better now.As far as PSI that shop sux ball's i tried to call him and ask him about my tune but no answer.

The cobra for sure short shifted. And was shifting very very slowly. I took a nap between the 2/3 shift.

Awesome video anyway.

There is no doubt Pat at PSI is a terrible businessman. However, I can't say I've ever heard of anyone talking bad about work performed or especially his tuning. I can't say I care much for him but the man can tune.

Triangle is pretty good though. They built my first stroker but quit going because I didn't care for the long drive.

Nice kills, I had a run with a full exhaust, lid, tune, LS3 and I was able to get by him. Damn good race for what he had. See my thread below. LS3 Vettes are nothing to mess with they are quick.

Nice vid. Those LS3 vettes are quick as ****. Local guy has one with a small cam that suprises a lot of folks. They really get their feelings hurt when turns on the juice.

ya that whipple if its being short shifted hes dropping back down to 3k rpms. . . which is killing him esp since he never touches his peak power.
