Don't have to be a known port to be a good port. Could be a bad port....but it's pretty straight forward on those things. Have to be a real idiot to eff one up.
No doubt, I've seen some God awful home ports though...I'm sure you have too.
Terminators always were pretty slow. I think ford guys built the false reputation of them being fast because they had nothing else to hang their hat on

No doubt. I mean, come on, a supercharged 4v v8 that struggles to run 12s. EL OH EL.
And its pretty sad when fail wheel drive v6s can beat them, with basic bolt ons. Ive proved this on multiple occasions. Including my story that made the front page of ls1tech.

I actually agree with you to some extent, underwhelming for what they are.
I disagree. While it may have run high 12s it was a huge improvement over the prior ones. The car like the bros had a lot of lies associated with it. I think the 07 Gt500 was the huge disappointment. I remember seeing them at Cecil struggle to hit 12s eeeck.

So do you know who ported it? Because I made 459rwhp with a 2.76 pulley, intake, and catback. Those numbers you posted up are pretty weak for a ported blower car, but as typical a shitty home port gains you no power.
So here is my 3700lb Cobra 3910 with me in it. Going 120.2mph I also have a 121 time slip from the same day, gotta find it.
Yet your Drivetrain swapped HCI TURBO race car is going slower than a basic blower swapped pump gas cobra?
There's a vid of him somewhere draggin day tho.

Well the reality is the notch has done well then. It made 458/473 on a 2.93 no port initially. So that's about 3 less psi than a 2.73 like you had.
Now it makes 468/471 with a safer tune. 11.8 vs 12:1. That's with the 2.93/2lb lower so still less boost than a 2.73 and a ported blower. But like i said earlier peak numbers don't alway tell the tale. It makes 30 more tq at 6k rpm and feels like it revs freer than it did......that's YUGE!
So w/o seeing the whole graph it's hard to say sometimes which is better.
You're times were decent. Likely even slightly above average. I have said i think the notch has more in it and only blame myself for it not performing a little better. Essentially tho the car is performing spot on vs your times. If it woulda went a 11.3 or 11.2 then it woulda actually done very well. More seat time and it would have to.

Here's the port job
You are right I did lose to Cyber once on a botched run vs his best run ever at the time. Currently i got better times than his turbo car though.
I was launching at the time on 17" Nitto Drag radials on stock wheels. If I had my bigs and littles like i do now i have no doubt id have been going 11.80s on a stock blower bolt ons, like plenty of people on SVTP have gone with pulleys only. A guy just this week went 11.0@127 on a ported blower 93 octane car. So yes you have some room to make up.
Again....pulley combo/fuel/other bolt ons are all factors. I didn't ice down....no killer chiller.....93 octane....no slicks....no headers.....gear?
Could it go 10s with dome combo of additional mods....sure. i make no bones about that.
A little seat time and it will do better. The problem is you guys are expecting it to be as fast or faster than the camaro and it's just not with both cars ran in a similar fashion.
I think was turning it a bit harder than it likes to. Ima back the shift light down a couple hundred rpms.
