The cones aren't so bad. I like to run the slalom in between em. haha. Cops have been heavy down there lately, seems like every weekend that bar across from Hooters gets swarmed by police. I think someone got stabbed to death last weekend, correct me if I'm wrong. Roanoke is such a pleasant place isn't it?

His tires looked really worn so I can understand traction has gotta suck!

My father owned a 03 cobra that put down 470 to the wheels and he trapped at 92 in the 1/8th. He had farely good traction also with the stock tires on those cars, I forget what brand, I wanna say BF Goodridge. Drag radials and wider rims do wonders for those beasts!

I ran a 03 cobra with exhaust about 2 months ago from a roll and it pulled me pretty good after 3rd gear, which is expected. I'd be happy with 270-280ish awhp right now on this 14b, I just need to get it to hold 20psi + to 6500. Hopefully I'll be in the 7's this year on the 14b.

btw... I launch at 5500 on the studder box

We actually beat an 03 Cobra with chip, pulley and exhaust by about a car length on Williamson. You also have to think his car weighs about 3333lbs. 03 weighs about 3600lbs+.

The stock tires on the 03 are BF Goodrich.

Matt is putting 8lbs of boost into it. The 4.6L have forged crank and blah blah blah. It can handle it. He has Long tubes, O/R H-Pipe, and Slowmasters (Says he is getting Magnaflow which will add a bit more HP and flow.) The Long tubes add 20+ HP EASILY not to mention his O/R H-Pipe adds some too. Not sure if he actually has stock injectors or not. The car also needs tuning which it is really lacking right now. It will be a good race if Matt gets his wheels and some sticky tires. His Dyno Curve just continues STRAIGHT UP. No drop off. Dunno if you say his Dyno Chart or not Andrew.

I am trying to get Matt to put on the 12lb pulley because he got the aftercooler so he could run more boost but yet he isn't. *Shrug*

I'll have my own surprises this summer if all works out.

Oh well I guess we will see this summer.

We raced her weekend before last. Said she had those mods. We beat her but it was a close race. I was surprised we did.

I get alot of weird looks on williamson, dunno if its good or bad . Sounds like Matts got a nice setup! Get those better tires on and hunt me down, we'll go from a dig .

Once I get into the 7's I'm retiring this 14b and bolting on something to make some power. As far as what turbo I want will depend on how much money I can save really. I like the GT30 series ball bearing turbo's but I dunno if I can afford it, we'll see.

Yes, I run Dsmlink, its god's gift to DSM's. There are so many options its unbelievable, I could fill this entire page up with all the features it has.

Na, cobrachick wasn't running with the mods that night. She has had the pulley and chip since like before x-mas, but she just got it on yesterday or the day before. She said the car is fuckin fast now, so that should give an idea I guess on the improvements. I'd run her again if I was you. Were you the green stang she raced? Cause she didn't downshift for that one and I saw it ahead of her when I was comin back the other way. I called her and bitched her out for losing to a GT. Best kill on williamson, Camaro SS 2 weeks ago. Good race.

Nope it was a 96 Laser Red Vortech SCed Cobra pushing 8lbs of boost on stock internals with BBK Long tubes, O/R H-Pipe, and Slowmasters (He's getting the Magnaflows I believe now) He dynoed at about 433rwhp without his aftercooler and long tubes, and O/R H-Pipe. Thing is his rear tires are bald. If he had his new CCW three piece racing wheels and the 555Rs he is supposed to be getting he would have had grip. He will hopefully be adding his 12lb pulley and a couple other mods.

No they are not! The stockers from the factory are F1's (Goodyear)
