Nice job, seems about right considering your dyno numbers are on a MD, why such a small TC?

This was a budget build. I've paid under $1400 in parts to complete my car. Found the converter on craigslist for $150

Definitely good runs, and a healthy cam only car. Some pullied cobra's run hard as hell, nothing to be ashamed of there, and your 5.0 kills are good ones.

Thanks man! I went with this sized cam so I didn't have to change it up once I get better exhaust/heads/intake. I know my car has 40-70 hp left in it.. 241 heads, 15/8 eBay headers, 2.5" y, stock exhaust, and stock maf, lid, ls6 intake.

I'm feeling 420-440 hp with 1 7/8, STOCK 243's, fast 90, etc!

Damn, $150 for a Circle D stall is a deal.

I enjoyed my 3600 stall, but I think you'd enjoy anywhere from a 3600-4000 stall. Just be prepared for when the 4l60 decides to die.

Going by your SIG, you'd be a good race for Last Of The Breed.

Good kill. You guys are closer in power then the dynos tell. His numbers are definitely high for the mods. I made 430whp with full exhaust, boss intake, air tube, dyno tune on a boss motor. Scalla on here with those same mods as that car made 400whp. Now gets some nice new bolt ons to compliment that motor. Seems its a strong runner for sure

No, because you have a 408 on gas.

My new setup is a little more radical than his and I also don't plan on a trip to Texas any time soon. My daily might be a better race assuming I can ever make it hook up.

Meh, that cam isn't all that big. I ran a 242/248 .608/.612 on a 110(a.k.a TRex), stock internal LS1 with untouched 241 heads. Now that was a big cam.

You definitely need more stall though.
