At his exact same track and the same night? If not then what the hell does that have with anything?

I hit 124 on the 100 shot before the heads, so I think I'll be in the 127-128 range in similar weather conditions now. I'll be sure to post up the results once I get it to the track on a rental (no cage yet).

His car definitely runs strong. I'm sure there will be many more races as both cars get further mods in the future and definitely a rematch as they sit now. Hopefully the future videos will be as good as these, I'm really pleased with how they came out.

I can look at all my old time slips from when I had a ported Eaton. That's not the point.

As promised. Ironically I scanned these slips several years ago when some clown on another forum had the audacity to question my cars validity. Now can you believe that? Those foolish people I tell you.

Stage 4 Eaton and a lil 'ol 75-shot.

If I can remember correctly (it's been 3 years) these run were in 90* heat in the summer. The car ended up going 10.1 at 134.x a few weeks later in cooler temps. If only I had saved all my timeslips just for those unsuspecting doubters out there.


Now with that said, what does that beastly KB (or whipple?) car of yours run?

yeah cobras are pretty easy to make fast !! 525 to 545 wheel on a ported blower is pretty easy to do on pump ! tryin to walk a blower, supercharged, turbo car is pretty hard to do with nitrous of the same equivalence...

I love it when a guy with a good setup that runs alot better than most gets the b.s. flag thrown on them. What ever happened to giving props to people . Can't wait to see your h/c/i car run Redfire 03.

Most dont. Some well setup ones run VERY well. Little weight out of them good tune and SRA and the can be pretty nasty.

No its not. Most hit 495-520. Some do more but its not the norm. And its quite easy to run them with nitrous. I have been dragging *** but ill have mine back together soon so some decent videos should be coming.

I agree. Still a fast street car tho. 130+ traps is pretty decent.

Thats my favorite part of the 03-04 cobras. Ported eaton/spray can make a hard running car that drives baby smooth with all the comforts. Not a bad setup.

Your absolutely right! Every 224 114 cam'd, garage port 853 head combo w/ a 75-shot should be in the mid-high 10's. To bad not everyone is!

What is your definition of 'run well'? Heck, a pullied combo runs pretty well when driven correctly. A ported Cobra should run decent unless something is wrong.

What about his comment was untrue . He said it's "easy" to hit 520whp with a ported Eaton. And infact, it is.

That's my favorite part too.
