Drew, I think your overconfident in your heavy *** AWD SUV! Lol. And why wait til March 30th? I was thinking about going on the 9th. You planning on getting into the 12's? And if you have spray, that's cheating.

Those mods will make 460rwhp/460rwtq. That 505rwtq number is wrong. There is no chance that it can make 500rwtq without either a lower pulley or a ported blower...or both (just as an FYI).

True, but he said STD numbers, so there not SAE corrected. Mine made 455/480 SAE with 2.8 upper, exhaust, and intake.

LOL i still think he'd beat me on street tires just would be a better run for both of us. I was planning on the 30th since other tbss's were going so figured id wait til then and im not doing spray just a cam in couple months but do plan on 12.99-13.1 the 30th

I know that's the same thing I said. I think it might have a lower

I agree with it runs like the average pullied cobra if not a little less.....post that dig race if you do it...lol IMO from how hard you pulled on the roll you got it covered easy.

He runs average for the area. I have never personally seen a pullied cobra trap over 120. At the local tracks they all do 117-119. And you're right, I think from a dig it'll be even worse. Thats just one more gear for me to pull in

Ahh I gotcha i went 121 in the heat....went back a year later when I got some issues worked out and my 8th was up almost 2 mph but my 1/4 mile was down 3.5 mph....on the way home it blew antifreeze out the hood on the windshield....change the IC pump and it was a whole new car up top. By the numbers that would have been a 123 pass.

Yea I think 123 sounds right. Pullied cobras should trap 120-123 but they just don't for some reason. My friend has a strong one so we'll see how the race turns out between me and him in about 3 weeks. I saw a pullied cobra go 122 but it had slick/skinnies and he also made a lot of power for a pullied cobra. It made about 485 so 122 should of been easily done with the stock wheels.

Yes it does....and trust me i used to make fun of cobras all the time when I had my mach i beat them all the time on spray (ported and pullied cobras) then I bought one and learned these guys must have had no clue what they are doing. Even as heavy as they are they can be very stout cars.

I know they can be but it seems to be pretty rare. Out of all the cobras I have seen I have only witnessed about 3-5 of them run correctly. BUT I haven't found but many good ls1 cars either. So its not just a cobra thing. I'll have another cobra vid or two in about 2 weeks should make for some good runs

That was a black screen with occasional head / tail lights.

Waste of time.

Sounds like a good story though.

I suggest deleting videos.

Did you read this?

Simple, If you don't like the vids and think it's a waste of time, don't watch them! Problem solved.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't feel like dealing with it.
