Default My Cam only T/A vs pullied cobra, '12 5.0, bolt on viper + more races
My car has a 228r cam, full exhaust, BBK SSI intake with stock TB, U/D Pulley, tune.
Here's a vid of me racing a few locals plus more random runs.
Oh, and I was on a 75 shot during the viper race. It was a 20 roll and I blew off the tires 1st gear
All runs that were filmed from my car I had a ~250lb passenger.

VID:

Let me know what yall think!

Shows it in the video. It's a convertible cobra so it is pretty heavy. I think his only mods were CAI, upper, tune. Not sure if it had a midpipe or not.

For sure. To be honest it's not that hard to do with bolt-ons.

I felt pretty damn accomplished. Everyone thought I was gonna get drug. A hardtop car would have probably beat me. Then again I had a heavy passenger.

I'm glad someone asked that lol. American racing 1 7/8 long tubes with 3" off road X pipe and no mufflers. It sounded horrible with the flowmaster axle back so we cut up the old axle back and made some sweet dumps!
