You never know. Your trap speed is pretty low based upon your sig.

Good kill on the Cobra.
Lol, I knew someone would step in. I did said "odds are" I know theres always someone faster. I've only made three passes so far and the da was 3300 and it was 90 degrees out so I'm guessing it's got more in it.

Cobras are slow. I've run a handful of H/C/I ls1s and never won by more than 2 cars never lost by more than a car. I'd say he had intake and exhaust, untuned.

Hey Unit, what times does your Cobra run now? That's a beast you got there...

I don't think I've ever seen him post how fast his car is but my guess would be low 11s - high 10s without the spray and low 10s to high 9s with it. I may be overestimating his driving skills though Damn street racers always keep ya guessing.

Cobra's are slow

Nice run, I would agree the Cobra probably had just a few bolt ons

You definitely have more in it given the power you're making.

With comments like this it makes me wonder if Unit is Chuck Norris.

Good kill bro.

at everyone instantly concluding it couldn't have been pullied down at all. Not all of them have 500rwhp, that's close to a max effort stock eaton setup. Quite a few with 420-440rwhp or so, which his car would be capable of taking with that cam, and that vig which is reallly more like a 4000. That car pulls violently, and he didn't give it everything it had the time I rode in it.

Lol. No one is concluding that it did or didn't have a pulley. It's just unlikely that it did. And that's not said to take anything away from the OP's kill (Good Kill again BTW)

Fair enough, but I just don't see why it would be either way, likely or unlikely, that it had a pulley. Really it's 50/50, because most pullied Cobras aren't making 480-500rwhp. There are many that just slapped on some bolt-ons and a pulley and didn't go the extra mile and $$$ to max out the eaton b/c of diminishing returns or other reasons. What's truly unlikely is running across a Cobra that isn't pullied. What's even more unlikely is running across a Cobra that's game for a little street race and isn't pullied. Just my .02

Sorry if I came across like a jack-*** or something. No insult meant, and Cobras are good cars. They're the damn reason I couldn't live with bolt-ons, which I was perfectly happy with, and had to drop $$$ on a blower, stupid pulley swaps.

FWIW. There are a few documented stock Eaton/stock pulley set ups running low elevens. There is a guy that posts on SVTP that has gone 11.0. You can check it out yourself. Not claiming this is a common thing, just throwing in a fact to consider with all the speculation.

I believe it. Hell, with the right setup you can run tens with 400+ to the wheels. A recent example that comes to mind is a guy with a c5 that changed his gear/tire setup to get into the tens. A4 head/cam car with a little over 400 to the wheels.

Anythings acheivable with the right setup/tradeoffs.

I agree with your above post 100%.

BTW, I returned you PM. That was a good question. I'll get back to you about it later.
