I still find it amazing my Cobra with a 126mph trap speed, 3400+ weight without me, and a full weight 11" clutch with a iron flywheel and me shifting the stock T45 went faster than Hiho's 130mph car.

Hiho....

You can't launch hard on your 10 bolt without it breaking (which it has more than once) yet I post a video of me dumping the clutch at 6,000rpms and then 6,800rpms on a 28 spine Ford rear.

I find the humor...

Not so funny large difference between 300 hp and 426 although im not sure a 10 bolt will with stand any clutch dumps on tires. and How many miles did you put on the cobra the year it went 10s?

^^ This guy knows what im talking about, they call them postive displacement blowers for a reason.

I would own one of those 6.4l's in a heartbeat. A cobra or a c6z is my next toy.

It ran between 11.2-10.9 over a 2 year span between 124-126mph with A LOT of street racing. 98-101mph in the 1/8th with countless clutch dumps. That was and to this day is the only GOOD Spec clutch I've ever owned. It was a 3+. If I had to guess mileage I would say around 15,000-20,000 at this power level. Last time on the dyno with the stock motor I THINK it made 43xrwhp. But after this tune I added parts such as powerpipe, longtubes, 3" exhaust without tuning it again so I'm not sure where the tune was by the time I was done.

All you would need to do to my car is throw forged wheels on it and it's ready to smash fools.
