The good news, I ran my fast MPH in the Cobra but I didn't beat my quickest time. On my first pass I ran an 11.922 at 119.34 which is my new MPH record. I spun out of the whole and only pulled a 1.824 60ft. Then the SC belt slipped in 2nd and 3rd. My next pass I hooked so I had a better 60ft of 1.742 but my time was an 11.950 at 115.81 because the I drove the car to the line. My 3rd pass was my best of the day with a 1.691 60ft and 11.873 at 118.94. Again the SC belt slipped but this time only in 3rd. My last pass of the day just sucked. I launched at 4500rpms and I heard a clunk and the car bogged. My 60ft was a 1.867 and I ran 12.161 at 117.82 but when I was slowing down I heard a humming noise that sounded like it was coming from the rearend. When I got home I checked the rearend and it was binding. I removed the driveshaft to see if it was the rearend or the trans and it was in the rearend so I pulled it apart and discovered this.




At least I have a new fastest MPH. The Cobra is now almost as fast as the Chevelle is without nitrous. Not bad for a daily driver.
Congrats on the times - sorry about your rear end though
