When your ringer car that has internal mods but you call it a bolt on car still losses... But but it has more to be done you guys!!!
Phil is not a ringer car....lmao. No offense to Phil but he went out there half-assed and in the spirit of good fun only. Marginal "tune" (i wouldnt even call, raising the rev limiter, a tune). Rock hard stock 20" street tires, knowing damn well he would be doing 1st gear rolls vs a very efficient automatic on race stars and drag radials. Poppa on e85, claiming "it din' do nutin'". 5G still managed to pull / win races. All after how it was stated several times that it would take H/C/I/E to even keep up with a 3 mod bro.
A dig race would have been very bad for Phil. That's why they refused to do one against nanner.
Poppa never wanted and has never posted a dig. We gave him his runs.

You were begging for a dig. You had a advantage there on a dr with drag suspension and you knew it. Both on stock tires/suspension like phil and we woulda wanted a dig.

E85

Thanks! 15-18rwhp on a lowly LS2! Thanks for proving my point!

I probably had a few more hp in the tune than he had in his.. but not enough to make up the difference of the other stuff.
His car runs good, and I have utmost respect for Phil. He good people.
Again....rockers = cam timing map changes. Not a outside power source

Priceless.
This very true. Phils car should've been tuned. Although the power side of the tuning was probably fair.....not optimal but ok. Certainly ok enough to outrun poppacry. The torque management side of the tune was way bad and killing it on every upshift.
Tip to 5gen owners. Unplug your clutch switch. It can be tuned out but the clutch switch seems to trigger it.

So Poppa wanted a dig and you guys were too scarred to do one. Thanks for confirming.
He was begging for a dig. Kinda pathetic i thought. Weired he never wanted digs before. Kinda shows how lop suded and one way the cobrohomo crew is.
Absolutely.... He saw he was getting pulled up top, so he wanted digs to mazimize his obvious advantage with the auto/drag radials/race stars/drag suspension....
Bottom line. Poppa's car was faster at the drag strip or from a dig and Phils 5G was faster on the highway.
I'm sure after months of Hio giving Poppa **** for not doing digs, he offered to do a dig.

Lolz.....niether was my car you know.
Btw......me being the type of guy i am would never ask a guy for a dig run with me on a tire vs the other guy with out a tire. Just wouldn't seem fair. But that's the type of guy i am. Pretty easy to see the type of guys the cobrohomo crew is.

For sure.
Stock tired 5gen never gonna be great from a dig. I see no reason to look for obvious advantages on friendly run.......cobrohomo crew sure does tho. They're a sad bunch
