That's really cool to hear. I'm running a Stage IV w/2.76 and full stock exhaust. I'm out of fuel pump so I've got a BAP ready to be installed. I was out of pump with a just a JLT RAI, 2.8 upper, no port, and 445rwhp.

Exhaust is my last mod, I love having a sleeper. Cops don't notice and LS1 drivers think I'm easy prey.

I'm stuck on the fence between a Whipple and putting a D1SC on my stroked '93 Cobra.

Nice car!

Not even close. I'm fighting traction issues right now. 600hp isn't
anywhere near enough power with these cars to run 8's...or even 9's.
Keep in mind that my car is 100% street car.

I say +1 to the Stage IV port. I just put mine on and got it tuned last weekend. I LOVE It.

I remember you had put in a solid axle awhile back. How much ET did you gain with that change from the IRS out of curiosity?

NICE KILL,

That is why I love these cars, you can drive it around normal & never know it's a really fast street car, then you whack the throttle & it's a whole nother animal. I do miss the T-tops & fuel mileage of my WS6 though.

^ custom T-Tops are pretty doable on a Termie AFAIK. Lots of shops can do them.

I'll probably stay away from T-tops on my little 12k mile creampuff I bet those would be pretty expensive too, If I just spent that money on a bigger blower instead then I could force more air through the windows to make up for the T-tops.

My dyno numbers were prior to my 9" install. Plus there could have been a slight variable with my shift point...not sure if my tach was working right( hasnt been) so its possible i shifted at 5500ish vs 6500.

Regardless it was close.

I just figured on motor your car would be around 430hp and on the spray around 540hp

Not on the dyno I went to. I think that my heads are stage 1 tsp with slightly bigger valves from what I have found from sales receipts. Who knows maybe the stock valves that come with them. yea..people say i should trap higher too but up here it just doesnt happen... I think the ls6 intake and maybe the tune are holding it back a few ponies...Cam might be a 232/234 also, i saw that on the sheet i just found and yet he claimed ti was a 233 239 i dont think that makes that much of a difference tho.
