Went to the Dyno this afternoon...

thats 1 thing that gets me. your cobra and my vr4 are close to the same weight, run close to the same times at the same MPH....yet i highly doubt im even making 400 whp.

iirc (its been a while since i drove my cobra) the gearing is pretty close too. i think the cobras have slightly shorter gears.

Racing isn't just about HP, take a look at your torque curve and then look at a Cobra's... I have 450 ft lbs of torque right at the start and it only drops to 400 ft lbs when I am making my most power of 450 ish HP. That low end torque the Eaton gives us does wonders for launches and overall E.T.'s.

Just a thought, from the people at SVT...

Also, the one time I raced an electric car at PIR, it absolutely jumped me off the line. I ran him down later but electric motors equal instantaneous torque...

I also need to learn how to shift better....

Thanks for the love c money!

Will, you going to be at turbo thunder at Bremerton in a few weeks?

Actually me and the wife are putting money away for the 7 gallons C16 and the admission fee Saturday July 14th

So baring an emergency, I will be there

And what I mean by emergency's is $hit like this:

This was a Scat SFI approved Flex plate, all I was doing was goofing around on the street. I have a JW "The wheel" Flex plate on the way. Only takes about 2 hours to install on my garage floor.

Going to throw the big tune up in her huh? Hope to see ya there! You are going to love those MT drag radials. I have run several 1.60 60 ft times on my 235's. I'm scared of the 275's Maybe when I get some 10 inch rear wheels I might try some.

 

[saleenster]

I can understand why he does not want to race, he doesn't need to. Have you seen his car??? But,.. I'll race all you wanna be's in his place?!!! :Track:

Nate

My 275`s are on 8" welds with 5.5" BS. I could go with 1" more to the outside, but anymore than that it would start to look like popo

[mtpruden]

Just a typical Stangnet deal, dont sweat it. Its hard to read what people are "saying" so sometimes its taken wrong.

 

[2bfeard]
