Good job on the t/a very nice car. What year is his cobra. But honestly he would have destroyed you if he shifted right. Not talking down or anything, just stating the facts brotha. What mods do you have?

Its an 04 Termi, Bad *** ride without a doubt. Also has a 100 wet shot.

I have a 224 cam, springs, pushrods, oil pump, timming chain, Lid, Bellow, tb bypass, shorty headers, no cats, cut out, built 4l60e with 3800 vig, trans cooler.

Here we are at the track. This is before my trans/stall and nittos. Both on street tires.

LMAO, thats great. I was going to comment on the cobras shifting, but I can't top that one.

He came back around you and took the win. You can't see what either of the cars ran. I don't get the point of this video.. What was the E.T. and traps of both cars?

I may do an Airconditioning job for him, and he'll do the heads. He is a retired GM performance guy, and is all that he does now.

Thanks for the comments, i know i have ways to go with the T/A, but im getting there.
Awesome! Your farther along than I am but I have 243s at advanced induction right now to go along with one of their cam packages.
Keep up the work and vids!

The announcer states the traps and Et's at the end of race... By no means em i saying my ride is faster than that termi, but the 1/4 mile is where i may have a shot. That 1/4 vid was pre stall, trans and nittos.

Thanks, Im sure heads is where its at. I need to get over 400 hp to really compete against these blown rides.

Im also getting use to driving a stalled vehicle, its my first and learning the sweet spots. I tried the 1/4 but was horrible, too much wheel spin on take off. One of my passes was a 16. lol Anyway, hope you guys see past the BS and enjoy me trying to document progress on my trans am.

This is how far this car has come along...

I have a cam forsale that might help you hit your goals. It's a like new Futral cam and when I was H/C/I I went 10.90@123mph with this cam on full weight and stock suspension.. 3680lbs race weight. 4000 stall and trick flow 215cnc ported heads. $200.00 plus shipping and it's yours.. The motor had less than 10,000.00 on it with this cam. I have a stroker motor in the car and went with another cam for the build.. The cam is a 232/236/646/612@114LSA

Thanks man, few appreciate how far its come along...
And yes, i couldnt hook at all. I was running high psi on nittos, heading back with less psi, and no revs out the line, stall is kinda tricky never thought i would have trouble launching.
