yeah those cobras are loud, and the 03-04 are very easy to get power out of, they are quick, imagine what it would be like if you had traction!

good kill!

by the way I know about the coasting @ 55mph deal, i do it all the time going to and from work, but i get very little bites...
Thanks man, was new experience to me...I'm glad that I've built this truck up enough to handle a high performance car like that. I'm 3-0 so far in races!! I also beat a Lexus IS 350 S or whatever they are. The ones with the v8 in them.

Yeah...I need to get some bigger meat back there! But that's far down on my list of things to do.

Tyler...I could of used your help a couple days ago. I was at a dyno shop and the shop peeps didn't know how to operate their dyno properly. I was thinking to myself where the *** is Tyler when you need him. Don't leave me hanging like that again!!

They had a problem running the windows program...couldn't display RPM on the bottom of the screen, only the AFR stuff...among other stuff. Aslo had problems locking up the TC and locking in 3rd gear as well...ended up in a lot of shifting during pulls unless I started from 85 or so.

Nice kill! There are several back in NC that simply had pullies(upper and lower) and some SCT tuning and the were low 11s. For a stock car there aren't too bad either, but a cammed f-body will walk one.
