I got my motor back from the machine shop the Friday before they came over. I just couldnt get it done in time. The cobra belongs to Dennis (OMPC) and is a Coastal Dyno Car.

Lot's of the video shot by Havoc was out of my yellow GTO(the beater).

The Greek's car was doing the same thing in that video.

That's a great question. I had a 225 lb passenger and he had a 110 lb passenger.

You dont want to see a video of me racing a GT. It would be comical.

I hope I answered all your questions. To everyone that thanked me or gave positive feedback, you're welcom, it was my pleasure, there will be more, and thank you.

To the haters, it's all good. I got nothing to hide. I posted track times, dyno sheet, exact detailed combo down to the tire size and video. I could have posted a video of me stretching this Cobra by 10 cars on the spray but that doesnt make for good threads.

I switched to a 3.73 gear from a 4.10 yesterday. I am going to see if I can get a rematch with the new gears. Not sure if it will help any but I think that I could hold him off a little better at the top of the run.

Weather permitting, I intend to spray it at the track Friday night now that I have enough gear. I'm sure that they will show me the door immediately thereafter.

that is probably true but how many other gts do you know of that has 600 + to the ground ? a huge majority are way below that, even with a decent fi setup.
op, great races you both have wicked rides

LOL, I can't believe you even asked that. It probably has as much boost as your typical 18-wheeler.

Doesn't matter how it's made... power is power. And I'm sure with the right heads/cams setup, and a good forged rotating assembly, even a lowly 2V can make quite a bit of power. By anybody's standards.

How is that a stupid comment? It's not like it's any secret the the 2 valve is not ideal for a build and not the choice of most. I'm sure your granddaddy's uncle's brother's cousin has a shop built car that can beat him, but face it, there's not much out there.
