Midnightnova, was that you running behind that Cobra? He had a quick car...we had a close run going there. Could not get my clutch to engage when I tried to shift into gear...is shot. Going to fix that problem next week.

Whats sup 02txceta, I was driving the slowbra out there on the way back. Cars looks nice and sounds great man, quick as well. Was a bit of an impromptu run out there for us, hence the Dirty Shadow Grey I had going on my car, lol.

Yea that was me and my buddy in the 03 bra that car is quick. We heard that one time it would go in to gear, but man that car sounded good. There was to much traffic for any good solid runs, but it was all good fun. My car doesn't like to stop on factor '76 equipment.

I wouldnt call it a Slowbra...quick car there. Would be fun to have another go at it on a better road sometime. Seems our cars are pretty evenly matched for the most part. I have some further plans in store for that car as am looking at Procharger setups for it currently. Probably will be 6 months down the road.....Am going to put a new clutch in it over the next week or two.

Again, nice car...is that a KB setup you have on your car? Kind of sounded like it.

Midnightnova, like those older cars as they are more from my generation...don't see them much anymore..lol.

They are Privat Profiles

Sun, just because I feels/looks like my face was in a microwave for an hour or so....lol. Left the tops off too long on our cruise yesterday.

Any other work done to the Cobra? I am running nearly 500 gross HP and does run pretty strong. His car was the best race I have had in a while...granted it was a short one, but was close.

The old nova is "stock". Ls series motor 5.3 full exhusts/ tune/ ghetto cold air intake. I might want a shot at the T/A with a few more mods on my car. Still trying to work out all the bugs and learn how to tune with a wideband. 02txceta What is all done to your car? What size cam?

It is a cam only car..think specs are 228/575. Other than that it is just full exhausts and underdrive pulley, with the lid, and tune.

Ok now...if you guys start beating up on the ole TA then I may have to bring the GN out to equalize things. Taking her to the track in Austin this weekend for a test and tune.

Car put down 398 RWHP before I sold it. Ran low 11's at the track.
