Default 03 Cobra

Ran a 03 cobra on the way to the meet tonight had the bottle open so i figured id just embarress him. It sounded stock except maybe the basic bolt ons. On the bottle i just kept destroying him so i turned it off and ran him on motor and he would barley edge me out by the end of my 4th gear from about a 50 roll. It was fun glad i had the bottle on though

When are you going to install a nice fat cam? It REALLY wakes that car up! I went through 3 cams on my 99 SS before I was happy though. Good kill/death.

Jay i wish i could save enough $$$ to build up the valvetrain and put a cam in. It will cost right around 1500bucks to do it all. Oil pump, timing chain, springs, the cam, labor, ect ect.. ive wanted to for awhile but everytime i get some extra $$ something happens.lol

Ill admit, i havent raced an LS1 yet, but when i do, im ready to loose beacuse of your motors loving N20 the way ours do boost. good death and its mad ill (yea, i said it) that you ran him without the bottle just to see what owuld happen.
