i know the they run hard...do not own a cobra nor care to , the cover looks plastic..never been to concerned about a cobra to look to see what the pulley cover is made out of.... i knew my lightning was a quick truck....just could not handle owning a ford anymore... glad that you got a laugh about the cover.....

ps mine was the same color as yours....

The 13.07 I am talking about is the fastest time I have seen for an 04, and it's from some guy on LS1GTO.com... he has ran 13.07 and I forget what he trapped, but now that I think about it, it says he ran that with "no power upgrades", so maybe he was on DR's. I have seen 04's run low 14's and high 13's, and I have also seen 05/06's run that lol! Most people that can drive their car have been posting around 13.4, and most people I have seen post about their 05/06's that can drive their car have been posting 12.9 to 13.2's. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm not tryin to hijack this thread, but this is what I've seen.

Oh ok i want sure, i just know i saw one on the cobra, and they are the same blower..........ah well, it will just make it easier for him to look at the pulley

Clearly you are jealous and wish you had a Cobra, that said, I did not get a luagh out of the cover deal.

You could not handle owning a Ford anymore??? Tired of going fast or what...?

Don't care to own a COBRA? What are you. retarded? Even the most stout chebby fans would put a TERM in the stable.....HELLO!!

You must be old as well, as you like the

LOL if he was jealous over a cobra, I think he would be on a Ford website, and not LS1tech. He probaly got rid of the Ford because he was tired of it braking down and spending money into it. He wanted to go fast for a change And i wouldnt pay $1 for a TERM, im not impressed with them at all, and i think its funny how Ford didnt have anything fast enough to keep up with a LS1 untill the TERM, and they had to put a blower on it. Everything Ford has that is fast is supercharged (Term,Lightning,GT500) to make up for there small engines Sorry my ramp is over.......

p.s. No Replacement for Displacement!

and would you like to tell me what was false about his comment? what did you run in your STOCK mach1? maybe you should read up on what fbodys run in stock form. i love terminators and i'd probably be drivin one if i could have afforded it (and i'd be getting raped on insurance). but i still agree that ford hasnt had anything real impressive that was N/A. I wish you and I were close and my z had the same amount of mods that you have. you think you'd "take an LS1 to school" !?!?!? sorry, i call

So, are you to Bowtie lovers telling me that they fbod LS's run faster than low to mid 13s?.....last I checked.....that's what they BOTH run...THEREFORE....IT'S CALLED DRIVER'S RACE. My brother is a 'camaro freak......seems like some of you need to learn a tad bit more about machs before runnin' your mouth.

Just so you can understand.....My car has SLP catback and a php spacer. I am only runnin6.5 peak pounds...and I am at 430 RWHP.....Cobra's with a CAI and a catback fMAY be runnin' 400-410...WITH 8 pounds. Mach's motors are potent.
