That's the first time you have ever said that someone might be faster than you on anything other than a drag strip!

My Cobra is definately not ready to run on a road course but when it is I want to run you in your Mustang on the Roval. Your Mustang in factory trim with the Track Package is basically the same as the Cobra is set up now except for the power. I also have more time in the alignment as I'm only running -2 degrees of camber and the car pushes. I will be realigning it at -3 degrees for the track and will run the -2 on the street.

I never said I had the Roval mastered but I do think I can run a good time there even with only going once. Especially since I will have rear brakes when I go again.

The Cobra made 450rwhp on the race tune when I raced you at the drag strip. It made 471 after I installed the UPR intake tube. It's the Chevelle that made 460rwhp.

Sure, this will be like our drag race where I'm on street tire your on a significantly modified car. It however will be much closer than if you raced the vette. I am standing by.

I thought you had plans for the Mustang?

I'm not sure how GM handles this but I'm assuming it's like Ford and cuts fuel. That means that every time you hit the limiter your running a cylinder lean. That will take it's toll. I guess since I build my engines and don't have money to drop into it if I break it that I'm easier on it. Like I said I shift the Cobra at 5800 - 6000 and kept the factory rev limiter because that is all the cam is good for. On the Chevelle I have a 7000 RPM limiter chip in MSD box but I shift at 6500. I've hit valve float in it once at 7200 RPM during a burnout when I didn't have a chip in the box. That is why it has a 7000 chip now.

Yup cut fuel or spark. Yup I drive it hard. Yup parts are expensive so I pay shops that build a lot of motors to ensure that I get the most out of my dollars. Racing is hard and expensive. The new motor doesn't get rev'd as hard as the old one only because it doesn't continue to make power at 7K+ like the old one. I do actually make pretty good money, but I also have a fund that I don't touch for catastrophic failure. Even with all the abuse the LS2 with the ETP heads lasted 3 years of of racing. That is very very very good considering the heat of the California desert the revs and the times it posted.

I do. I plan on the Hellion single turbo kit with the FR CJ intake. The goal is to run 9's. There is an older post discussing whether the FR SC is better than the Turbo kit. What is your timeline to get your car ready?

Faster driver. I think that if we went to Adams and I brought the vette I could beat you by the end of the night. Mainly because I would use my Traqmate.

Except the power is an understatement ~370 to mid 500's with the meth. You would also be running NT05s to my factory Pirellis.

I cannot concur that 150-200 rwhp+ Tire advantage is about the same. I ran my 1:49.8 with the factory calipers on the vette. So big brakes are nice, but if you are going for one flying lap then they are not an advantage. I know because it was a hat-trick that I did for years.

insurance tried to screw me by filing the claim under collision. After quoting my binder and proving to them that a tire blow out is a comprehensive coverage claim she says ''your adjuster will make that decision''

So I have a feeling that they're gonna jerk me around big time.

If they do, sue them. $35 to file in small claims court, bring that binder and your contract, read it to the judge, pow! ...Pow! ...Pow!

And if you win, ask the judge for your $35 back, you will likely get it.
