Author Topic: New Times Elapid GOROBGO Member # 50 posted                                 12.838 and i lifted! i am getting 2.1 60' times now, so the spin is getting under control on the launch, but the second gear spin is just about uncontrollable... i'm getting sticky tires asap! somehow i missed getting the 4.10 gears from Albert...we talked a bit, but when round 1 was over, he was gone... what happened, man? i broke out in the third round with the 12.838 on a 13.1 dial-in. DOH! my best MPH was 114.655 now to get her tuned for the 42lb injectors... maybe in a couple of weeks when i have some free time! -------------------- 98 Cobra 83 Notch rolling chassis - fs Posts: 1797 | From: Grass Valley, CA USA | Registered: Jul 2000  |  : Drew B ¯ Member # 698 posted                                 feels good to brake into the 12's Posts: 1992 | From: Nor-cal | Registered: Jan 2002  |  : Elapid GOROBGO Member # 50 posted                                 well, i went 12.9 the first time out with the car, so i'm more impressed with the 115 mph trap speed, which with gears and slicks, should net 11s... once i get it tuned, i expect to be around 120 mph at the stripe... my LX is still a lot faster, but the cobra is much more fun to drive around in... -------------------- 98 Cobra 83 Notch rolling chassis - fs Posts: 1797 | From: Grass Valley, CA USA | Registered: Jul 2000  |  : 93PONY Mr. Valve Events Member # 60 posted                           Did you race a Blue 91GT on Sunrise after the track? Heather (91PONY) said she saw a 98 or so Cobra with a 13.1 dial in & figured it'd be a good match, but got toasted! -------------------- www.advancedenginedevelopment.com SCT dealer Dynotuning (916)715-7569 Posts: 4266 | From: Fair Oaks, CA | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : SheWillSmokeYou ¯ Member # 452 posted                              hey rob the cobra is blown right? im trapping 110 in my all motored cobra.. i want to know if youre trapping 114 n/a? if so what heads are you running? -------------------- Just a Punk Ass small Block :) Posts: 842 | From: So Cal | Registered: Sep 2001  |  : Elapid GOROBGO Member # 50 posted                                 yeah, i raced that car! she really got a good jump, i was dozing, or something... my car is blown, 6lb S-Trim... still limited by 24lb/hr injectors, so there's more in there... the heads are ported (just pocket work) and i'm running SHM blower cams... still only 1k miles on the new motor, so from what they tell me, it should get stronger over the next 4k miles... -------------------- 98 Cobra 83 Notch rolling chassis - fs Posts: 1797 | From: Grass Valley, CA USA | Registered: Jul 2000  |  : IrocSpeed89 ¯ Member # 1226 posted                                 yellow cobra right? if that was u then i saw u and ur buddy wth he probe... whatgapeed o hat pob anyhow?? and if it ant u then.. oops Posts: 506 | From: citrus heights | Registered: Apr 2002  |  : JoeT ¯ Member # 298 posted                                 hey sounds cool. I ran a 12.6/12.8 at sears a few weeks back with my combo too. I wanted it to be like a 11.9 though. after about 330' it's like a cylinder got dropped or something.
