Vid: TT Cobra and Cam'd Firehawk

well, i was driving the Formula, so here are the facts:

we started from a 35 roll the first time, then i think a 55, then a realllly low roll (like 15mph), then a 25 roll.

my car has a 224 cam (stock heads) with headers and true duals and i dyno ~380rwhp.

Ryan, the driver of the TT Cobra, is not a bad driver at all. He has a HP TT kit, which he has at 9# b/c he doesnt have any upgraded internals to support more boost. although i have been in the car on a cold night and we saw ~12#.

he(Ryan) also put down mid 400rwhp (either 440 or 460, i dont remember), at full boost. since his only upgrades are the turbos...before he spools up, hes only at what, maybe 290-300 rwhp (i dont know what a stock 97 Cobra dynos)? whereas this is my dyno before i finished tuning the car:


im running stock 3.42 gears, and he is running stock gears as well. he wasnt late taking off either, he was the one honking, but like i stated before...i have the power advantage before he spools up.

we both knew he would beat me, and if he didnt...well, i wouldnt know what to say. i would jump out initially and then he would spool up and come by me, but one he got a car or two out front, his lead didnt grow.

Damn word travels fast!
Tell Ryan to get his az ova here and post up.
We need to get together with a cam and go out again. Ryan had his cam the other night but said he was unsure of how I would feel about it so he didn't get any footage but we were flying.
 
Ryan is on his was back from Ga. he went to the dyno day at Modular Powerhouse. i remember your car from one night a while back at the Korger off Victory - that thing is a BEAST.


im not sure why he wasnt brake boosting....traction issues maybe? he has enough of them without brake boosting...
 
ls1 are BADASS, that all i have to say about them. buddy layed 321/336 12.99@108.98 in his 02 WS6 M6 with free mobs and lid. After full exhaust and 125 shot it layed 439/504 11.8@120(275 street tires) His name is Briancws6 on LS1tech.com

Oh, they can be loud....my car is loud as hell, its louder than it was with the off road H, and old 2ch flows.


Your turbos are your mufflers though....most guys have mufflers ON TOP of turbos thus the "quiet" effect. Throw a pair of mufflers behind your turbos and its like having 4 mufflers. I read a lot that guys who run mufflers on turbo cars have cars that are really quiet. Especially with a quiet muffler.
