im a rival to the 03 cobra ... his best run was 11.9s @ 119

I did beat him by like 2 cars, but im pretty much making him spend more money on the car so that he can beat me. I think that he is going to buy the new kenny bell comming out. My question is if i buy a cam and headers for my car will it still whip up on him ..

car w/o bottle 309 rwhp 347 rwtq

my car dynos at 394 rwhp and 477 rwtq thats on like 900 psi ..

and btw he has 455 rwhp and i dont know the tq its 450 somewhere in there ?!?

your rival needs to keep his wallet closed and spend more time honing his driving skills. witht hp he's putting down he should walk you easy. just goes to show how much driving ability plays into things.

what mods do you have done to your car and what tranny?

Do you have a bottle warmer, your psi is very low, get that psi up, Im not to fond of Cobras or any ford for that matter,but the 03 Cobra is mean. Are you A4 or M6. If you are M6 depending on your cam selection you could see as much as 380 or even more RWHP and put the spray on top of that, it should be a very good race. Let us know the outcome man and check out the internal engine forum for more info on the cam of your choice.
Good Luck

keep in mind he has more power but also has about 3to4 hundred pounds on you which is 3 or four tenths. so he need more power to keep up.

When I saw that 120 MPH trap, I was asking myself what was up with his times. "Blowzilla" or no "Blowzilla", without traction, he 'aint gonna get you in the quarter if you can hook. He'll be reeling you in like mad at the trap, but you'll win! If he does get the new blower and can figure out his traction issues, he'll probably set up a tent and wait for you at the stripe. Now, I bleed bowties just as much as the next guy here, but just look at it realistically. Just stay ahead of him at all costs!
