I was down there looking for you Well I ended up running a 8.294@86.22 with a 2.01 60'. Thats whisper lid and dynomax bullet on the stock Y pipe dumped before the rear. and damn shitty 245 kumho tires also ran 3 8.324-8.355 @ 85.7-86.22, pretty consistent though. Was really trying for a 2.00 on the stock tire size on the crappy street tires, hell even better 1.9

Thanks guys yeah Im baby launching it at like 1100 at about 1/2-3/4 throttle then smashing it a little out so, some fatter street tires even and I can probably have a 2.00 or a 1.9, then when a 4k stall and E/T streets will be on the way in not to long, the car ran 7.5s all day on that setup so that will be sweet, thanks for the kind words we should setup a little get together down there in like 2 weeks or somthing, there was far too many cobras out there and not enough LS1s

Hopefully my car will be done. If so I will run her to get her broken in, and then the drama will begin with the Cobras...

the cobra that was running 7.9s was pretty much stock lol. the modded ones that we took were going 7.0-7.3 the three cobra should all go 6's next week. oh yea the one that went 7.0 was on 17" drag radials. so i have to say the cobras were running pretty good lol.
