Punished a Blown 347 T-Bird... NA
So I was driving the Vette today, and this guy in a 90s T-Bird is trying to race me. But Im ignoring him, thinking he's not worth my time. But I pull up next to him at a light, and I hear this strange gear whine, like mine but a different pitch. My first thought was that my blower gears are taking a shit, then the guy in the T-Bird gets my attention points at his hood and tells me that he's got a stroker 347 with a centrifugal blower... so the whine was coming from his car.
I decide to give him a run after hearing that, so I pull on him hard at first, jump out in front, then after a second it felt like something was wrong with my engine... like I broke something or the AFR was way rich. So I was pulling on him still, but not by a lot.
Gave him a thumbs up, pulled into the parking lot and opened the hood. My intercooler pipe blew off!! Hahaha. So that's why I slowed down and it started runnig super rich. I pulled on him naturally aspirated with a messed up AFR. Suck it bitch.

One day, when you get that thing to run properly for more than 10 minutes at a time, it's going to be fucking awesome!

One day when I have the trans fixed in the Chevelle and they re-open Fontana you'll have to come out so I can punish your Vette.

Word
And unless that dude REALLY knows what he was doing it was probably only making 375ish to the wheels, which would make sense why you pulled on him n/a

Let's just go from a roll next time we're at a motorgen meet. There's no ques you know how to and can launch better. So lets just take driver skill out of the equation and see whose car is faster.

How about top speed flying mile. Something not as dangerous to the public and and objectively instrumented AND isolates car max speed. Cobra vs. Vette. The Chevelle is probably RPM, not drag limited.

I won't run you on public roads but I like Ben's idea about running a standing mile. He's right about the Chevelle. The top speed if I run it to 6500 would be about 140. I currently run 133 in the quarter mile. We'll have to look at running the standing mile when I have the Cobra done. Right now it only has the short block in it and I'm going to be building a new engine so it's going to down a few months at the least. I have to keep it smog legal so there is no way the Cobra can come close to making the power your Vette does. That will give you a big advantage in a mile plus with your Vette having a better drag coefficient frontal area you should be able to MPH much higher than the Cobra. I might have a chance of beating you in a quater mile though. Kind of like I did Carlos. If we had been running a full mile Carlos would have killed me.
