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.

.. Most pullied Cobras will not see above 120mph.. There are a few here and there but the majority trap around 116-119. Go look up times.. That shouldn't be too hard to accomplish... Just run the right one.
What do you run?

It just doesn't add up to me.. You are running a mph that some of the fastest stock eaton cars run and you had belt slip, was in 100 degree weather, drove it there... Etc etc etc.... Just doesn't add up man.. I'm not saying you didn't run that but there is more to it than that.

In the last video he definately wasn't pulling on the Cobra, it was the other way around. And most Eaton cars are good for one or two pulls before they lose alot of power from heat soak. But this is nothing you guys don't already know.
With that said every pulley Cobra I've seen is around 117mph give or take 1mph.
Personally I don't think I could own a 03-04 Cobra. Way too much hype. Everyone expects them to be fast. I like owning cars that leave people saying "WTF?"

. Our cars were always very close. However, he is now in the process of a F1A Procharger build, so there goes that!

I am not arguing that is dosen't happen, b/c obviously it does. just not from what I have witnessed. thats where my argument comes from. I don't see it at the track or on the street.

i have never seen a 120+ cam only car and my pullied set up went 123-124 consistantly without icing down anything. my car actually never failed to trap lower than 121 on a clean hit when it was pulley only. i will say that i have only seen 1 or 2 other pulley only cobras go in the low 120's.

Yes...I am dead serious I drove to the track and ran that. I do think in good air this car will trap 123-124.....I have never said I think the car will trap 125 but cars I have raced that trap over 120 say I will. hahahaha
There is only 2 Ported eaton cars around here....one trapped 121 the other 122 I tried racing both but one deosn street race and the other said "I know how you drive"....and he sold it.
