    Spark Plug Recommendations

    The heat range is correct, my Paxton manual says to run Autolite 764 coppertops, which are one heat range " colder '' than stock. Once in a while I will throw a code telling me both banks are running RICH, not lean, and my tuning guy told me he has it tuned a bit on the rich side so I " won't...

    Spark Plug Recommendations

    R U talking to me?? If so , she runs well, I am just following the manuals instructions. Damn, when I pull those 2 dollar coppertops even at 8K miles, there are just little nubs left of the electrodes. It's a little scary, not to mention a big PITA.

    Hey bro, you are running NGK TR6 plugs with your S/C? I am running Autolite Copper tops with my paxton 2000, the plugs recomended in my S/C manual. The problem is they last only 10k miles before they are worn out. gapped at .035. Do the NGK's last longer? it is a pain in the ass changing plugs...

    s/c

    I like my Paxton 2000 centri S/C. With a set of 373's in the ass end, I am putting down over 400 rwhp and have dipped into the 11's at the track on street tires. I Paid $5500 installed, and my guy threw in full length subs to sweeten the deal. I have boltons that were installed before I got...

    What do low boost superchargers trap?

    Mid 12's, 110-112 mph, average driver. At least that's what I Ran 3 years ago when I first got boosted. Now, on a good run, I can get down into the low 12's, best being 12.33 if I remember correctly.

    $900 to install gears?

    That's too bad, too bad I could hardly make out what you are saying, only that you're pissed off at Chris. He's always done good by me, he's done my new motor, my Paxton, subs, dyno tune. He even drove 80 miles roundtrip to pick up my car when I blew the stock motor, and brought it back when he...

    $900 to install gears?

    5 years ago Ford wanted $850 labor plus parts. I had Crazy Horse Racing in NJ do the whole job for $450. Those guys are crooks.

    dyno'd my 97 cobra

    Many people don't realize that in a blown car, exhaust restriction is a non-issue. The blower will simply force the air through whatever so called resriction exists. Please continue.

    03 Cobra vs 03 Z06

    You should be happy.... I am surprised you didn't have your ass handed to you. He's got you by about 800 pounds in the weight catagory alone. That buddy of yours obviously can't drive. Don't get me wrong, I am not slamming you, your Cobra is a fast car, but I have yet to come upon one that I...

    New Track Times!

    There is an old school belief that for every 1/10th you chop off your 60" time, you drop 2/10th's off your ET. I've been down that road, and it seems to be pretty accurant. I am old school, 56, racing for 38 years, off and on.

    I took one on a few days ago, beat him, but it wasn't a walk in the park.

    Random question about cleaning under the hood

    Yeah me too, now I just use a rag moistened with some type of cleaner and I wear a pair of gloves, that way I can get into it aggressively, all the nooks and crannies, and not skin up my knuckles.

    4.10's Don't fear the gear!!!

    Maybe I've been around too long, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around having to shift into 5th at only about 105 - 108 mph with a 5 speed... if you are dumb enough to be one of those street racers you'll be having your asses handed to you by Mom in her family sedan, it seems that those...

    Blower question

    I played the fool and took her out this morning for a cruise on a long straight section of RT 17 here in SC. I took her up to 100 mph and was at 3000rpm in 5th. Damn I wish someone knew when the revs would stop climbing due to drag, etc. 4500-5000rpm? At 4000 rpm I calculate I'd be doing...

    Blower question

    Thanks for the answer... My engine should hold together because it's got a Cobra short block with forged pistons, rods, etc. your answer really doesn't give me what I want, I know I won't hit the rev limiter because I would be doing 200 or so mph with my 373 gears. At 2500 rpm in 5th I am doing...
