Nah she has it chipped/smaller pulley/catback and maybe a few other things, http://dynoperformance.com/featured_details.php?ID=151
ok, ALMOST 450 whp.. actually, when i drove matts car, it dyno'ed at exactly 433 whp.. The 03's dyno at the wheel what they rate them at the flywheel, from the factory lol..
with 450 whp, i think awd would even have some problems lol!

I won't be there this weekend, going to Charlotte to pick up a Navigator motor to build for the Mystic. But, give me time, the Black Cobra will soon be 450+ to the wheels and I can't wait to be able to play. Don't plan to put it on slicks though. Well, I MIGHT put the Bogarts on to see what it will do. It will also be for sale in a few months when i'm done with it if anyone is interested.

Haha Steve does know his 4.6s. She needs to let Steve drive.
Actually the RWP on the 03s is usually around 370-380rwhp. 14lb pulley, chip, and exhaust may take it up to around I would say 430rwhp. I've been reading up alot lately and that's usually the average.
I may not know how a 450rwhp+ beast feels like Matt does but even he ran a 8.9 Personally I see a bleak future for her car but that's my opinion....

Re: natural bridge 4-9-04
here's a dyno sheet right here, 2000 miles off the showroom floor!
http://cmw.ne.client2.attbi.com/Cobra_Page/
problem is, people dyno them like a few hundred miles off the floor, its not completely broken in, and you wont reach max hp until its fully broken in..
like i saw a dyno graph of one with 500 miles and it only dyno'ed at 350 whp!! then at 2000 miles and a few mods he had well over 400 whp..
you hit it on the head though, you cant get any grip and driver skill can only do but so much!

I know nothing yet you're the one that was talking about a roots based supercharger not spooling up and numerous other idiotic things? "Her supercharger didn't spool up until 3k rpms" LMAO You've shown your lack of intelligence numerous times and once again you show it.
I payed for my car not let my girlfriend buy it for me like you did.
I've ridden in Matt's car plenty of times so I know what a grip problem is. My car is a V-8 by the way. Don't believe me? Want pics? Your car is a V-6 so how would you know anything about traction problems yourself?
Grip? Grip will only do so much. Your girlfriends car needs a good driver not just grip.

Re: natural bridge 4-9-04
her car most likely has 450 rwhp...chip, pulley, intake/exhaust can get 470+ rwhp...stock can dyno 380rwhp, they are incredibly underated....but it doenst matter, she has IRS, stock tires, and cant drive worth a shit on top of that

Re: natural bridge 4-9-04
oh damn,......i sense this one turning into yet another bitch fest....
ding ding....round ten!
why dont everyone just get their fucking sand out of the pussy and quit bitching about this shit.....i am personally gettin tired of reading it.....that two week bliss of not reading anything stupid was real nice....
IRS and street tires=no traction. period. add lack of driver skill....and needless to say....that is not a fun ride. IRS and slicks=not much more traction.....either.
