Sorry to hijack the bashing thread but your car (Tom . . . not the newb thread starter ) sounds really sweet!

I've never had the pleasure of coming across a Cobra with the stock ported Eaton . . . you're making good power there

Have you tracked your car? What e.t./trap?

Just wanted to clarify that this was a response to the question that was asked for the original poster to show that his car was supercharged in his car's description. The question was asked because this is an LS1 site. For that reason, there are those who don't know that the car is supercharged to 8 psi stock & that a 2.93 pulley adds around 4 psi of boost on a stock exhaust. Again, wrote this as a clarification as to the set up on the car not to confirm or deny the posters' claim of trap speed.

thanks for clearing that up.

with just a 2.93 upper he should trap 114-116 with a good 60' time.
Just my .02.

I havent, the track here (palmdale) suck frankly. I have nitto 315's on the rear now, and really could use a set of ET streets. Im not a great 60' guy my best in my last car was 1.94, and that was with a converter lol.....

with a little practice, i think i could manage a low 12 sec pass.

I agree with what everyone has said about it. If hes trapping 124 mph with only 475 rwhp then he needs to come touch all of my friends how to drive as they only trap about 116-118 mph with that much power and trap 120-123 with 520 rwhp+ in their Cobras.
