Default Bolt on C5Z vs H/C Camaro and a few others...

Did some racing this weekend at a large event in Mexico. My car is exactly what the title says, Longtubes, X, intake and a tune...

The first race was against a Camaro that is tuned for spray, but he said its making about 430 on motor...so we went from a 40 roll...

ps..my girlfriend was half in the bag, trying to record with 2 cameras and almost dropped her phone out the window...hence the comments at the end lol

So then, he had a buddy with a Genesis that wanted to run. Didn't think much of it...

http://youtu.be/P0cShmBSmAE

So that didn't work to well for me at all. I almost missed third, but he was coming around me regardless. Talked with the guy afterwards, and I guess its just a big turbo car. Ran good thats for sure!

The next night, a pullied cobra that he said was making 480 at the tire wanted to run. It was about 75-80* out, so he was prolly making a bit less...but again from a 40 roll

He needs driver mod. Bad.

After that, a buddy of mine just got his 01 N/A Cobra back together...Not going to say much about the car because I didn't ask if I could...so heres the race

http://youtu.be/SdrxRMT6-FM

So that was all for my weekend...all in all, won 2 and lost 2 so I'm good with that. Also, I think everyone I raced is on this site so I'm sure they will chime in! Hope you enjoyed!

Cobra owner doesn't mind. Its a 5.0 stroker, ported heads, cams, FR500 intake, t56 w/3.73's. Its a bit under geared right now but yes it goes over 7000 rpms.

hmm not bad must be heavy. Do you now the compression? Car should run a little better then that imo. Gears will help alot tho so maybe it will change.

I agree. What can you do man? There is ALWAYS someone faster.. Drop a Procharger in that 'Vette and show the Genesis who is boss!

its 10.5 to 1 right now and its only got 300 miles on it so it will probably gain a few once it gets fully broken in. And it has blower cams timed for a blower, so its not 100% optomized for NA. Car weighs 3300 I think w/o driver.
