Default New best at the track yesterday.

Ran a 10.40@129.5 on a 150 shot. Not too bad for a first full nitrous pass on the new combo. Should go 10.20 or so once I get the shift points down and stop being lazy and hook up the purge (really stumbled for a sec as the fuel solenoid opened ).

I believe Cody got the run on film so maybe it can be posted?

This is the coupe btw. Total investment of say $8500 so far. 9's to come once I up it to a 200 shot. I think this is definitely bang for the buck.

Combo is a basically stock .030 over 460 shortblock (only aftermarket part is Keith Black hyper pistons) with unported edelbrock heads and intake and a C-6 with 3.55 gears.

Big thanks to Sammy,TJ and Cliff for all of the support, especially the stickers that really made it fast.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

Sure did and it caused the car to flood out. It had no fuel in it after the run but gas was pouring out of the squirters. Took it off and no more issues so it may have ran really rich on that pass also. I know on the dyno it was 11:1 across the board on the spray so it probably was a little too rich.

I am going to make another pass on the 150 setting and then go to 175 and see how close that gets me.

Good runs Steve. People should take notice to the benefits of being a Coastal Dyno Groupie. They too could end up with a 9sec car. Just have Sam drive it down the strip once and Im sure he could get a 9sec pass on the 150shot with his weight savings alone.

Niiice. The question is.. which will be faster, the Cobra or the Coupe?

The other question is.. do you still want this shortblock?

I think the coupe will be quicker but the Cobra will trap higher (very Supra like ).

Yes I want the shortblock, I will PM you my number again and I can get it wed or thurs.
