Nice races! So the pullied Cobra was faster than the ported/pullied Cobra? Because of the tune? What kind of power did that Mach make?

Damn that red T/A would've been out if he didn't miss a gear. Great vid.

Mach made ~490ish. This cobra made 500 a few years ago but its definitely not running as strong as it should. we'll be retuning it on E85 soon.

Be a good idea to do a leak down test on it.

I didn't understand that either. Ported blower car should have no problem beating a pullied one.. That red TA was pretty bad, if he wouldn't have missed.

He recently did an EGR delete and I think forgot to plug an IAT sensor back in lol.

If it is just a ported blower (no pulley change made) then the tune he has BEFORE the ported eaton does not need tweaking. That is if the tuner knows what he is doing....... Now if he ported the blower and went to a bigger crank pulley, then yeah... tune for sure or BOOM. Same goes if he swapped to a Whip or Kenne.... Def tune needed.

Been running my 6 lower tune on an unported eaton then to a Steig stage 4 ported blower.... Datalogged the ported numbers and sent to my tuner.... All was well. Running ported for about 2 years now.

Good Grief...... Did not watch the vid, so excuse me on that.

The Cobra internals are forged, but detonation will still F them up. What a Dumb Ace

ive seen many a local cobra pop from detonation. They just take a little longer then a cast setup. But they WILL break

Its not untuned, it wasnt running properly because he forgot to plug one of the IAT sensors in (finding out after the fact obviously). Easier to say 'untuned' then explain that in a video.

Car made 513 when it was 'tuned' 2 years ago. Its been followed up since the video and car runs much better
