Default White T/A in PA...

I didn't get a chance to explain what happened, and in the name of sportsmanship, if you're on here, I wanted to let you know what happened....

I was driving around looking for fun, not trying to pick "easy" wins, but I was on my way home and I watched a white T/A go by me so I made a little detour and caught up to him. It was a 99ish??? T/A (definately LS1, just not sure what year, not that it really matters), VERY CLEAN. It sounded badass, so I just figured it had exhaust. We couldn't really catch a light because cars kept getting in one lane, while he was in the other.

So a couple lights up, he took off at the light with me behind him. I rolled out in first, shifted second, and watched as he pulled me. I than mashed the pedal, spun, let off, hit it again and took off (mt ET Street Radials). By the time I hit 3rd I was right behind him, than blew by him, almost like he wasn't giving it any gas . I short shifted to 4th, than got HARD on the brakes (almost didn't stop, letting on and off the brake peddle, damn it smelled).

I got in to the turning lane, trying to get you to follow me in. The driver yelled, "Damn, that's FAST!". The light turned green and he slowly drove off. So I pulled in the parking lot and turned my bottled off, and came here to type this lame, poorly written recap of my ride.

So here is what I wanted to tell you, so that you don't think that a stock cobra could do that to you . BTW, I noticed at the light that the trans am seemed BONE STOCK (it didn't even have exhaust )

My power mods are...

2.76 pulley (roughly 14-15#'s of boost)
O/R Xpipe
Magnaflow catback
cai
and the winger...my .078 jet was in tonight, roughly a 200 shot.

So I know it wasn't fair, but I wanted to let you know what was done to my car if you read these boards! AGain, that's one clean *** ride you have! I wish I could keep my car half as clean as you have yours

You hit a stock LS1 with a 200shot on top of your mods? Holy ****...that's classic. Talk about an eye opener for him.

lol, to be honest, my car doesn't even run at WOT off spray. It's at about 9.0 to 1 in the a/f department. It just sputters and blows black smoke, so I HAAAAAAD to spray him

Oh yea, I also have straight motorsport 103 in the tank in case you smelled something

9.0 to 1 huh? Yeesh...not good Maverick. You've either got big *** ***** or you're stupid as **** for spraying hitting that thing with a 200shot. I'll go with the big ***** for now. I bet that bastard hits like a freight train. I know a 100shot on the KB sure does. Nothing like running a full 3 seconds faster than your opponent.

I think it's stupidity My NX solenoid will be here tomorrow, along with the new BIG SHOT single DRY nozzle, and the .084 jet is going in. The a/f should creep up to about 11.4-11.5 across the board (it's 10.9 on the .078 jet), timing at 16*.

A/F is good, timing is good, heat is bad, pistons are in BIG trouble. I hope she holds together for you. You should bump up the power level the motor/blower produces and decrease the amount of nitrous you're spraying. It'll last a lot longer and make the same power. Torque will drop of course. It's your car though.

I'd really like to hear the LS1 owner's side of the story.

A stronger block will be put in when this one goes. It's only a matter of time, but with 8 bottles through it, all on a 150 shot or more, it is still in perfect condition.

He was probably out looking for me

It's about time you got a run Steve

It'll be a Sunday morning cruise in the Vette this week, Saturday morning will be the TA.

I just want to check out the inside of your car 1st, I hear it is nice.

"What, I wasn't turning anything!!!"

the ls1's side of the story would a little something like this....

so i pull up to this o3 cobra and figure id toy with him a little...i have such and such done so id probably blow him out of the water. so we get rollin from a light and i figured we'd go from 2nd gear...i hit the gas about the same time he did only 1 problem....i saw nothing but black smoke and he was no where to be seen. gave a new meaning to getting smoked..****** thing was insanely fast..i got played..oh well, time to go pick on some unsuspecting 99 cobra owner.

steve...stop pickin on guys slower than you...poor T/A guy.

I ran nick on a 30 shot for starters , not to mention how bad I am at driving

11.6@122 on the blower only tune
http://home.comcast.net/~sjvhsr/1160at122.wmv
11.4@125 on the 30 shot (nick ran 10.80@128 with a ported blower and 30 shot, I think it was only a 30 shot at least, FULL weight)
http://home.comcast.net/~svh19044/30shot.wmv

And congratulations on your 10.80, maybe I'll take all the weight of my car, put some skinnies up front, and put the .031 jet back in . BTW, didn't you have a high compression built shortblock, huge cam in that car, not to mention heads?? I don't recall me or nick ever even touching the LONGblocks....

Nick is a very good driver.

I am no slouch, but Nick ran my 03 Cobra with just cai and catback to a 12.35@115.4 powershifting on his 2nd try on street tires compared to my 12.48@114.89 granny shifting, but I had a few tries and it was my car.

Figure his driving is worth AT LEAST 1/10 against a good driver.
