That's the thing about big cam-only cars. They have a nasty curve. Their peak HP numbers can often be misleading and leave a lot of opponents scratching their heads.

The curve on the Cobras are awesome. But as far as the whole time thing goes, and to back up what Unit might be saying is, check out the 11 second club forum. There's quite a few people running 11's with stock internals.
Bolt ons, stalled, geared, tires, and some weight reduction and some of these guys are running mid 11's. That's with no power adders.
So there are a bunch of guys with cam only cars running low 11's, high 10's. And they are on this website. You just have to wander further than the street racing forum.

On **average** Cobras have to make around 75Rwhp more than fbodys from what I have seen to beat them..
A stout (aka in the hands on someone in the know) cam only setup will walk away from a pullied Cobra.
What does a pullied Cobra trap? 116-119mph or so? A stout cam only setup is in the bottom 120s.
Now you start talking cam only stalled A4s racing pullied Cobras from a 60 roll... Of course who do you think will get it? Race from a dig and see what happens. Talking M6/M6 though the fbody will walk away on average.

For every video you post like this i can post a video with a complete opposite scenario. Like this one w/ a Trex cam-only LS1 taking on two pullied termi's.

I have personally never seen a cam ls1 trap higher than 117. thats prolly more than 20 different cars......
not sure where you guys are from but thats dosen't happen around here. and pulley cobras are traping 118-122.

Are you running 12.5 on DR's? (I'm assuming that's definitely off the bottle)

You're kidding? It's really not that tough...4500 stall, a 4.10 gear, a 28" slick, front runners, some weight reduction (3200lbs), big cam, valve train stuff, all the bolt ons, a 9" rear end, some madman suspension goodies, etc.

now i might be wrong here but the numbers that the pullied eaton cobra owners post are not realistic numbers in a way. A lot of them are with iced blowers and lots of time to cool down so it looks like it makes a ton of power but after a run or two after driving in the heat of the day that 460rwhp pullied cobra is more like a 435rwhp cobra. someone correct me if im wrong.
i love those cars though.

More importantly is that the stock Eaton is extremely inefficient when in stock trim after running it hard without a cool down. I ran 11.29 with 460rwhp. I think that's the 5th or 6th best time ever for a '03 Cobra with a non-ported Eaton. Something like that anyway. That was prepping it properly at the track...just like any racer would. I bet it would've run a 11.70 on a hot lap pass.
