After the race he asked me if I had dyno'd the car and when I told him 345/355 rwhp/tq he just looked down at the ground and walked away.

Nice kill!

Had a similar experience with a Cobra setup the same when I was lid/catback. Beat him too.

You reeled him in nicely, good work.

Good kill! Couldn't even keep up with bolt ons, a Kenne Bell and a tune!! If you had gripped on the launch it would've been an absolute massacre!

Good kill......Autocock is right.....he should take the blower off and go back to bolt-ons. He could outrun you then

Good kill. If you see him again tell him to yank that POS blower off and put a centri on it.

My cammed 98 makes as much as those non intercooled boiler makers. KB never made an intercooled blower for 96-98 cobras. Why I don't know.

Good race, and 345/355 is a decent gain for bolt ons.

Not sure if you saw where I said good kill. Yes this blown 4v is pathetic.

I swear this site has gone to hell in a hand basket. So much blind brand loyalty. I think I'm going to give myself a few months vacation. Maybe it'll pass. Have fun guys. I'm done.
