Mods were a 2.76 upper pulley, exhaust (stock manifolds), CAI,
Nittos, and a tune. Full weight.

A member here has a Cobra (broke7) and I believe he cracked off a 11.23 with
those mods.

Sorry to be off topic... but I'm just wondering how much power your car is making?

Honestly no idea. When I had it tuned in Tampa at HBH, his dyno was not working. The tune went great but dont have a number. No big deal, when I replace the clutch (in process now) I am turning up the boost just a little 21lbs and will have Dagostino retune it. Not really sure why, the car gets zero traction on the street, really.

Good kill to you sir.
so that would lead me to believe you run 8's now or close to it?

good kill for the cobra a win like that is to be expected.

So it's a 10 second car in neg DA? The planets were all aligned on that pass. That's a high 11 car 9 times out of 10. You can drive though, no doubt about it.

I cant believe it.. except i do because youre credible but thats insane for just those mods..

Its hard for ls1 6spds to hit that with the same power lvls, really hard, and your car has 300+lbs and still had IRS then right?

You guys are right though. 11.60 was a normal pass back then.
I caught a few good passes that day.

Yeah, these cars really wake up with exhaust mods; especially AFTER you add the smaller blower pulley. If you had 422/430 before you should be at around 460/480 after exhaust and Hermann's tune. Now go and get Stieg to get you to 500rwhp.
