Self It is a spec 3+ i was just blowing the tires off. The cobra hit the limiter, i thought mine was acting up so i got out of it when this happened. It was a 40 roll.

And the race with the ta was on a way worse tune than with the cobra.

Motor is fully built valve train and all + some port work. No numbers as it was just finished a week ago. Motor had 700 miles on the race with the cobra about 500 on the one with the Ta

Oh ya, and the T/a put a car and a half on the cobra from 40-120.

yeah cause there's a few of us that did the same thing.... roughly same results as when i raced one when i stretched the head bolts, except he did not pull on me that hard (when it looked like he sprayed against cyborg)

At least not everyone in here is being a Balt fanboi, thank you.

Add a couple pounds of boost OP and it would be a great race.

Thank you for finally posting up that you were spinning. I figured since no one mentioned any spinning previously that you hooked just fine.

silly forumers don't understand how fast these turbo lsj'a are from a roll.

anyways, are you still running the stock clutch, it sounds like it's slipping like a ****. and the cobra did look like he sprayed right before you let off, he probably felt bad for not being able to make your little cobalt look bad and had to crack the bottle to prove self worth

no its just your turbo LSJ thats slow.

if you want the truth about it. the owner of the cobra WAS spraying.

That must be it

Area, even if he did spray, it doesn't sway the result of the race.

he raced the TA when he was on the blower
the cobra race was is the new turbo swap.

venture outside of the kill section once and a while.

so ~80whp less on the cobra wouldn't have swayed the race?

LMFAO, you think a 75 shot makes 80whp? Holy **** I want what you're smoking.

It was a 75 shot right? I'm just going off what's been posted.

I can gurante that the outcome will be different next time we race, unless he jets it up.

you realize i have probably run more nitrous than everyone on this forum right? with correct bottle pressures on a supercharged set-up you will gain the amount or a little more than the shot is rated for in whp

Ya... not on a 4v. I played with the idea but the guy who does my dyno tuning turned me away. A small shot on the Eaton is really only acting as a cooling agent for that blower with a minor increase in power. Not a big difference maker.

Anyways, just go out and do a run without the nitrous with a run on the nitrous right after and post them both up. I see no reason why the Cobra owner shouldn't agree.

Or I can run the OP because if that shot really adds 80whp on top of a well tuned n bolted 2.8'' car he should be about the same power level as me.

Ive seen Cobras (with Eaton, ported of course) make over 700rwhp with a good shot (~150) of N2O. This is on the stock motor btw...

Directly from the Eltie Cyborg vs TA thread -

Venture outside of la-la land once in a while. How can you claim you know for a fact that the cobra was spraying when you knew for a fact that the blower was on the car when he lost to the TA when in reality, the turbo was on the car? LQ9/L92 camaro's I have seen have been mid 120 trap cars in full street trim other than some meats out back. Not exactly going to blow a way a bolt on termi like evolve's for example. So when elite loses to the TA it's all good, but when he is spinning and loses to the cobra, the cobra must have been spraying? Again, it's a little inconsistent. Sorry, strike that little, it's very inconsistent.

This is turning into another classic bitch fest about how cobra's are the ******* fastest cars in the world thread just like the last one that got shut down. The trans am he raced was when he hadn't fully played with his tune. (Which still has work to do still so the outcome of this race will be very different next time) Both cars are quick but without spray for sure this cobra almost got pulled by a bolt on tuned ss/tc I think elite is a little faster than that.

So you're saying a 75 shot would make a car that "almost" got pulled by a bolt on and tuned ss/tc, pull on elite's car? That's a hell of a 75 shot. Maybe it's a 750 shot. I still think it's a flux capacitor though. I mean damn, if elite's car is only that much quicker than a bolt on/tuned lnf, he wasted a LOT of money right? I'm not saying the cobra definitely didn't spray, but the logic backing the apparently definite truth that he sprayed, is extremely flawed.

Ive raced the Ta multiple times, One was when i had the blower, it was dead even, but then again his trans was blown during this race and hadn't realized it yet. we raced AGAIN the other night on the new setup. And no i didn't waste any money going turbo.

Anyways, me and the cobra are gonna race again, this time he is putting in 150s

I was being sarcastic about wasting money on the turbo because of the notion, by Jhan, that you got pulled by a car that almost lost to a bolt on ss/tc. Why aren't you guys going to race with the same setup on the cobra?
