yup, turn the boost down to 22-23 psi and get meth injection. I think BYT did meth injection and he picked up a lot of power. pm him.

I ran the quarter in 12.8 at 115MPH with my stock Cobra only a K&N filter and some drag radials back in '04. From a dig, you'll get behind really fast by about 3 cars, then you'll start staying even when you hit 35 MPH. If you start from a 40-roll, you might just stay pretty even.

Rape and the fact that it's not tuned, goes to show just how much worse it would have been had it of been tuned.

Mine stock except K&N filter was 392HP at the wheels. I don't remember torque, but it was high.

With a pulley, he should be around 450wHP. He smoke you pretty bad, but you gave it a shot. Good driving for both of you.

I'll race him! Good runs though!

And no, 03 Cobras did not have 500. lol They have 390chp. And yes, that is the supercharged one. As far as the specs and stuff you put on there, that's an upgrade kit for the already boosted 4.6L. Upgraded pulley, tuner, injectors and plugs. Yeah, that's the upgrade kit to get 550+rwhp, if tuned correctly. But he said in here, the guy is untuned with an intake and pulley. I'd say he is putting 390-420rwhp down, depending on the pulley he's running and how much boost it's getting. Just my guesstimation.

yeah then it didnt have 500 to the wheels bc as you can see, this cobra walked the tc pretty hard once they got going and the tc has some mods and a tune.

thats possible that this cobra was lying, but if the guy i quoted only lost to a 500rwhp cobra by a car, he would need a turbo swap in his ss/tc to only lose by a car. theres no way a ss/tc making only 301whp and 375 wtrq (quoted from his sig) p is going to even remotely keep up with a 500whp cobra. not happening.

from a roll i could see it, you figure the example i posted dude is barley running 10's with 620 hp, take away 120 hp, and add in the fact that it was from a roll and not a dig where the cobalt obviously would have the advantage and i could believe it, maybe 2 cars not only 1 lol...and who knows, cobra could've started sideways and he got out and back in **** like that. i wouldn't really say it's impossible though.

ok, im not trying to start a war here, but im just asking how you got to that conclusion. how do you think a cobalt could make up for a 200whp difference? the 600lb difference in weight will not be enough to overcome that, plus once youre moving the weight difference doesnt mean much. that just seems a bit off bc 200whp is a HUGE difference.
