I only ran 116 that day and I usually run 118. Now that I retuned I turned 119 and that was on a 90 degree day. I think I can get 120 on a cool day.

Carlos has a lighter car with less drag. I actually think that I'm making like 10rwhp more than he is.

The two cars are close. It would take some practice to beat him consistently.
1) he's quick on the tree
2) I miss shift 1/6 of the time.

I feel your pain.
In that case I'll race your Cobra, but I'm not doing a pride race with any car that runs race gas. Like Ben said, 9 second Civic, different ballpark. This is the car I use to drive the gf around on the weekends, fill it up at any station.

What tire are you planning on running?

Obviously I could bolt a smaller pulley on, let it scream at 19lbs of boost, fill up with race gas and make easily 700hp. Prob more like 800+.

Why? You can't put it down and if you could it wouldn't hold. I would dial it back to make it easier to control until you sort out the drivetrain.

I don't think I ever will. I'll prob end up buying a caged 1st gen Camaro when I get out of college. Installing this procharged motor in the Camaro and having a more realistic street car... like a C6. When I'm making the bucks.

I'll build a more well suited motor out of the L48 in my garage and install that in Cambria with a 5 speed and sell her.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?
