Ran a Pullied cobra The other night i went out and met up with my friends and one of them has an 03 cobra. We have been trying to set a run up for at least a month and it was finally time. His mods are intake, mid length headers, x-pipe, catback 2.76 pulley and tune.
So we line them up from a dig and we both instantly blow the tires off. Cold night and street tires not work well from a dig
I jump out on him about a car and i spin all of 1st and most of 2nd i was getting sideways and so was he but I was still out in front by 1.5 cars and then i see him pull up to my bumper and we shift to 3rd and he has a hard time getting in gear and i pull back my 1.5 lead. He then reels me in and is at my door and we shift to 4th and my lead is half car. At about 115 he finally passes me and at 120 i'm at his back bumper and we let off. I held off a pullied cobra in the 1/4 mile
Both of us had a bad run but his very bad.
So we decide on a 50 roll on the highway. I honk it off and i jump out a half car for a split second and he pulls back and keeps on pulling at 130 i was 2.5 cars back. He said he was spinning and thats why i jumped him. But i think i did very well with only a bolt on SS.
My mods are: LT, Duals, lid, ported tb, 85mm maf and thats about it.

not bad man. you got the jump because you dont need to wait for your supercharger to wind up, and your throttle response is slightly better. an LS1 has better throttle response than a 4.6 in a stang or an LT1. ive driven all three and much prefer the LS1.

Must be one of them new lagging superchargers. Those are easier on the cam splines I hear.
Very nice. Traction and driver issues can make just about any race a decent race, haha. I'm guessing he's putting down the typical 460 or so for those mods, so it sounds dead on to me. Get a vid next time!!!

you do realize that an eaton will see full boost at about 3,000 rpm. a kb or whipple will see it around 2500

I think I saw an ad back in 98 where GM was selling the hell outta LS1s because of their superior throttle response.
Nice runs, BayAreaSS.
i hit 18 # at 3k rpm in second as soon as i touch the throttle. Go for a ride in a car that actually has a postive displacement blower then come back and don't talk out of your *** Thread Starter

Haha, did he ask YOU to race? If so, my first thought would have been "So, what could he have done that I don't know about...". Set up another one with the juice and get it on VIDEO!!!!
