Of course you cannot consider heads & cam, or ported blowers bolt-ons. That's hideous.
My bad. I missed the sarcasm. It's hard to catch it sometimes since text doesn't really relay it all that well. I'm with you on the ported blower...definitely not a bolt on.

I agree! If you got it then use it or you should've at least sprayed him after you lost the first race.

Yes.....from a 50 roll the Cobra will be very strong. 45 -50 in these cars are the sweet spot. But yes "its run what ya brung" and you have a 75 shot use it!! lol I would just do a 2nd gear roll with the spray though....I cant imagine it hooking in 1st on spray? And please get these on vid close races like these are hard to come by.
