This is the type of race that I would have loved to have seen on video.

That's just not going to happen, even with 25* of timing, race gas,
etc. I don't care what a dyno says. Numbers can be skewed easily.
I've been there, done that.

It's very easy for a non-ported Eaton Cobra to put down 460rwhp
one run and 425rwhp or so the next due to horrible inefficiencies
with that blower. I've run 11.30's then 12.20's the next pass.
I consider that a "partially modded" Cobra. I believe almost any
loss given those mods.
C'mon now unit, I see no reason why a full exhaust(LT's, no cat mid, cat back), pulley, tune, etc. couldnt put down lower 480ish rwhp. If I'm wrong, no biggie but I've seen some upper/lower full exhaust 03's with a tune and typical bolt ons dyno near 500rw(490ish +)

cobra can ut down around 490 rwhp w/o a prted blower, considering it would have every other bolt-on, so I would say his numbers are about right..

I don't buy it. Dynos lie. We all know that.

dyno can be very jumpy. i agree with unit. when i had my car dynoed the very first run had me at like 348 rwhp and 370 tq. then the next 2-3 runs after that gave me the below numbers which match the times run considering the circumstances.
