. He said he was trying to sell it cause he couldn't afford it. His tires looked really worn so I can understand traction has gotta suck!
My father owned a 03 cobra that put down 470 to the wheels and he trapped at 92 in the 1/8th. He had farely good traction also with the stock tires on those cars, I forget what brand, I wanna say BF Goodridge. Drag radials and wider rims do wonders for those beasts!
I ran a 03 cobra with exhaust about 2 months ago from a roll and it pulled me pretty good after 3rd gear, which is expected. I'd be happy with 270-280ish awhp right now on this 14b, I just need to get it to hold 20psi + to 6500. Hopefully I'll be in the 7's this year on the 14b.
btw... I launch at 5500 on the studder box
We actually beat an 03 Cobra with chip, pulley and exhaust by about a car length on Williamson. You also have to think his car weighs about 3333lbs. 03 weighs about 3600lbs+.
The stock tires on the 03 are BF Goodrich.
Matt is putting 8lbs of boost into it. The 4.6L have forged crank and blah blah blah. It can handle it. He has Long tubes, O/R H-Pipe, and Slowmasters (Says he is getting Magnaflow which will add a bit more HP and flow.) The Long tubes add 20+ HP EASILY not to mention his O/R H-Pipe adds some too. Not sure if he actually has stock injectors or not. The car also needs tuning which it is really lacking right now. It will be a good race if Matt gets his wheels and some sticky tires. His Dyno Curve just continues STRAIGHT UP. No drop off. Dunno if you say his Dyno Chart or not Andrew.
I am trying to get Matt to put on the 12lb pulley because he got the aftercooler so he could run more boost but yet he isn't. *Shrug*
I'll have my own surprises this summer if all works out.
Oh well I guess we will see this summer.
