Nice run but I definitely would have sprayed him after that for a good comparison on and off the bottle (not to mention a win). That looked like a solid 3 cars from a 45 roll and he was crankin pretty hard when you guys let off, so it wasn't like it was that close. If that was my video, I'd be showing it to people saying, "Now watch me get my *** handed to me by this Cobra." He yanked you pretty damn hard I'd say.

I didn't have any spray. just got some yesterday. we will race again. he is pissed b/c of my comment on streetfire where I said a 50 shot is all I would need. dosen't really matter to me, its just a race win or lose.

I have been talkin with the Cobra guy all day....he said its going to be very close within a car wit the T/A on spray.....it should be interesting. I am curious as to how you guys think the race will go with the TA on a 100 shot?

My money is on the WS6 for sure. In the same race (45 mph roll), probably between 1 and 2 cars out by the top of 4th gear, if I was going to throw a guess out there. The WS6 is definitely going to jump out off the hit, it'll just be a question of how hard it walks away after that. Either way, this should be interesting

Easy to find these days lol

Does your car and that cobra have the same mods? You have more I believe? Just wondering how his would have compared, I'm sure he is a worse driver

What you need is some 4:10 gears in that car. I have ran with pullied cobras in my cam/geared car.

plus I only dyno'd 385/360.

Will the guy run you in your Cobra? That would at least give you an idea since you've raced the WS6 more than a few times I'm sure, haha.

Cory has the same mods but cory has a 2.6 and he has a 2.8. corys cobra has been down most of the summer. we raced on motor and he pulled 5-6 cars. I am sure cory would beat that cobra by a couple cars, though.

and I agree I def need some gears. don't really want to do them as I know I am on borrowed time with the 10 bolt.

got the spray working for the first time last night, car feels VERY strong.

Hmm, it should be close on a 50 shot. He was crankin pretty hard with you on motor. With the 100 shot I'd put money on the TA and agree with SRZ (I actually said so in a PM yesterday ). I think you'll get a jump from the nitrous hit and then walk out to maybe 2 cars or so by the top of fourth from that same start speed as in these races. Just my guesses, though.

That sucks *****. Can't people just run for fun and enjoy the fact that they get to beat the **** out of two badass cars? Why does there always have to be drama?

From what I've seen, Cory can drive and we know the 2.6 is gonna give him an advantage right there over the 2.8, so there's really no reason he shouldn't yank this guy. Some gears will definitely help the TA out but I understand not want to spend the money on them and them grenading the 10-bolt anyways. It would be better to just save and put that money towards a beefier rear.

see I think I will beat him by 4-6. with my 100 shot with just bolt ons I would make up about 6-8 cars with the n2o. I think it will be even better with the ms3 cam.... just guessing though.

Yes my Cobra would beat this one for sure....I also think the TA will beat this Cobra pretty bad on spray. It did feel strong on spray last night. And yes he needs gears.

Anything is possible. Just as a reference, my car seems to make up about 5 or so cars lengths or so on a 100 shot in a 40 mph start in second gear to the top of fourth. That's obviously a guess as it's hard to tell exactly, but it's in that range.

I also think that a the same hp gain will make a bigger improvement on a slower car, which might explain why you gained more than I seem to when your car was all bolt-on. Take a 200 rwhp car that runs 15.0 and slap it with a 100 rwhp shot and you'll probably pick up 1.5-1.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Take a 400 rwhp car that runs 11.8 and hit it with a 100 rwhp shot and the gain will probably be in the 0.8-1.0 second range, depending on the setup.

Definitely looking forward to you lining up with Cory in the Cobra!

yeah I see what your saying. who knows. I ran dead even with cory with bolt on and the 100 shot, I think the cam will put me out a few cars.. it would be a great race with a port.

so is it even possible with an streetable cam (mid to high 30's) and all the bolt ons including a fast intake N/A no spray to even beat a pullied cobra? cause i want to get this cam:

LSR 231/239 614/625 113 LSA 109 intake center line

and a fast 92/92 setup. i am hopin to be able to take the cobras at the track or on the street with this cam. is that possible w/o heads?

well if i am gonna even touch the rear end with gears then i am gonna get a whole new one...the 10 bolt is worth less then a Dana 35 on a jeep wrangler! if i do gears i am gonna get a strange 12 bolt or 9-inch. what gears best suit a cam only car and are street friendly?

I totally agree, why gear up a rear you don't plan on keeping?
