what do u think it would take me to beat him? are the cobras really that much faster?

CuNfUzEd

umm yeah they are. that car should be between 400-430 rwhp. I dont know what minor mods are. I say get yourself a 150 shot and you will win 9 out of 9 times.

Wet shot. Sticky tires. No problem.

Most cobra's,..that I have seen my buddies race, aren't **** due to DRIVER.

From what I've seen on the street anyways. But, ofcourse, there are acceptions to the rule.

Actual mods you would need to beat a stock one would be headers, good cam, gears, tune, stahl converter, full bolt ons. That should put you with a set of sticky tires right at 11.7. That is if you dont want to spray. Spray is cheaper.

if spraying is cheaper than how come people just dont spray? are the bad affects from spraying and is it bad on ur engine? never really looked into nos before.

if the guy has exhaust and a pulley you are toast though...and sticky tires, those things can spin forever with the stockers..........

cobras put more like 365-375 to th wheels. just go with a few big mods rather than every bolton out there

One key reason is ignorance. If you keep fuel going to where it should and dont get greedy, nitrous is very safe. Especially if you have a window switch(a device that controls the rpm range that you actually spray IE 3000-5500.). Run a good fuel pump or go with a stand alone fuel system(a fuel cell that feeds your nitrous only when at WOT) I use a stand alone and put 118 in it. Motor loves it. If you take precautions spray wont wear on your motor like a turbo or Super charger. I hope that helps.

Spraying IS cheaper.

Alot of people,...don't take offense to this, are afraid to spray simply due to LACK OF KNOWLEDGE or just not alot of experience with the gas. No big deal, you just gotta learn about it. It's easy to use,...the only problem it doesn't last forever.

I'd recommend a wet shot,...wet meaning it sprays FUEL and NITROUS....at the same time. If your manual, which your not, get a window switch(RPM ACTIVATED SWITCH) which allows the nitrous to come on at whatever RPM the person would choose.

I would recommend a fuel pump for anything over 150.

Get yourself the TNT F1 kit,....and you'll be good to go.

Nitrous works great, as long as the user knows what he is doing.

Theres other things to add but, it really is easy man,..don't be afraid of it. Chances are, you'll use it, and then become a crack(nitrous) addict.

Go for a ride in someones car, on and off bottle. You'll be impressed.

true but I find around here when those guys tell you a few mods, they dyno around 400-435 range. Damn things are easy to get up there!

Get a stall in that thing, it will open your eyes with drag radials.

They all are in stock trim.

If minor mods means a pulley and a tune, you're screwed.

There are a lot of ways to go. You have to first choose if you want to
stay N/A or if you want to go with forced induction and/or nitrous.
We need a complete mod list from the Cobra guy before we could tell
you what you need to beat him. My car is stock, so if he has some bolt
ons you could be in serious trouble.

Yes. The car is much more capable in terms of ET/trap speed when stock.
They ET from 12.43 - 13.50's and trap from 107 - 116mph. That is generally
dependent upon the driver. I went 13.0 @ 111mph on a 2.4 60' in mine.
Of course I only made 5 passes before modding it and I was just figuring
out the car. A 12.70 @ 113mph would've been possible. Most stock
LS1's ET from 12.8 - 13.5 and trap 101 - 110mph.

I had a '00 A4 Z28 with a lid/catback and a 150 shot. It went 11.59
@ 121mph for comparison sake. That's a bit out of the ordinary
though. Most cars with those mods run 12.2 @ 117mph or so.

Mine put down 386rwhp, but you're right for the most part accept the
Cobra has some minor mods. He should easily be over 400rwhp.

I disagree with that. Nitrous is hard on motors...especially stock LS1's.
The ringlands just can't handle it.

Eating snakes? Agreed though. A nice 3,500 stall converter
tires, a cam...headers to let that cam breathe, and it's lights out for
most Cobras.

I agree.

...and I'm spent.
