Well he mentions that he shut down at 110, so he somewhat ovoided his trap speed and seems to me that he lost. Unless im readin it wrong???

Everyone loses. It doesn't matter what engine is in the car.

You guys are retarded or something I swear to god. When I first got my car it had a catback and a tune which wouldn't give me quite as big of a gain as an intake and a tune on a Cobra. I was beating full-bolt on LS1's by 1-2 cars to 120 all day every day.

You need to stop racing Cavaliers and start playing with the big boys.

The only thing that i dont have is and electric water pump and an ud pulley. Like i said i had an intake which is an ls6 intake for the record. I also said that his car was pulling me on the big end but not as bad as i expected it to do so. His tune was a hand held tuner by the way

What are your track times?

OP, The SLP UD pully was worth 14rwhp & 12rwtq on my car.

Speedy, get a tune quick! You're not gaining anything from the headers and full exhaust until you have it tuned

Did the Cobra have a smaller pulley on it? If it didn't I could see the outcome going the way it did if the LS1 driver was a bit quicker with the shifts. Crazy that an LS1 owner actually posted a race where they lose(happens once every 120 threads).
