Not really....not for a street car. It's nosing over by then. His graph is peaking @ about 61-6200. I would gear it to pull that or just below.

tq was dropping pretty good...did you look at that. Typically drag guys want to run out @ about the '1000 mark...maybe even a touch before. That makes for to much gear in a street car. I want my street car to pull threw the trapps, not every street race is a qtr mile.....matter of fact none of the ones that you have posted has been.

cobras don't need whipples to outrun you guys, but the owners of the cobras have to think about the heat soak of the eaton. if you ever seen a cobra during a dyno day make multiple runs the horsepower drops off every run they need meth injection, a little shot of nitrous or a good cooling down before a run with a bag of ice. these are the problems we termi owners have that a n/a car doesn't have to deal with, you guys have repeatable horsepower most of the time.

Well a pulley only cobra isn't as fast today as it was in 2004. (well it is, but everything else has gotten faster) I think a pullied cobra is a decent bench mark but most cobra owners thing they are still scud missiles. I'm sure like me, everyone has some specific type of car they want to race. For instance I would still like to run a stock 09/10 GTR, M5, 510hp viper, C63, etc...I get more joy out of racing "nicer" cars or cars people think are faster. I don't know, maybe its just me.
