Re: How to beat '03 Cobra building on my mods
You guys ever see the instant rwtq that Cobra's/Lightning's make? They do not build into it...you mash the gas and you get basically full boost.
It basically makes heavier vehicles run pretty well...

I was watching them both along with a bunch of other people. My buddy put a complete *** whooping on the stock 03 and the modded one had maybe a bumper on him winding out 4th. Both races were from a dead dig. After the race when the modded Cobra (nice guy) was talking to us about his car, he told us what he had done and he was quite surprised when he heard what was done to my buddy's car.

Cobra to lt1 is not apples to apples simply because one is blown and one is not. And dont say something about it having less cubes, because 70 or so more cubes doesnt add the extra power that a blower does. Lol this is a funny thread to read.

Not to mention,once again ,the SC cobra's coem with a lightweight flywheel wich makes them dyno with less drivetrain loss. So some peoples formula for figuring out the HP numbers to the crank will be off because they use the traditional 15-20% rule of figuring as to adding in the factor that it has an 8lb flywheel" Less rotating mass"
I still love those Blown Cobras though.

this shouldnt even be comparable..simply put..a mustang NEEDS a blower to be something..without it..its not ****..but since it has it..it is ****..heads/cam vs. blower is stupid..thats like comparing the best drummer to the best guitarist(its late i couldnt think of anything else)....you cant compare them.....and your right a few mods gives the cobra a gazillion HP...who cares?..its the blower thats doing all the work..look at the imports..every fast one is turbo...like a supra..you dont see any NON TURBO 2JZ supras spanking anything...now add a turbo and you got something..cobra..aint ****...supercharger..got something...you just cant compare these two cars....is anyone following? or am i just rambling off...(it is 4am and im over tired)

Re: How to beat '03 Cobra building on my mods
I totally agree with you. There is a lot to be said for a 400rwhp N/A car. Blowers and Turbo's are over rated. You can make anything go fast when ya start adding forced induction.

"APPLES TO ORANGES"
Well, they're both cars, right?
Either way, the dude never wanted to compare anything...he just wants to know how to spank its ***...not why it's fast and if it should be respected. I think we can all agree..screw those damn blown Mustangs...what do we need to do to blow their doors off? right? right. By the way, those damn blown Cobras are bad-***.

The only reason F-bods get so much HOP becasue it made good Bizzzzznes since to use an engine already in production for their flag ship car.

The cobra gets the Job done when ya get down to it.

More power down low on a NA setup than a blown setup?
Take a guess when I mashed the gas on the link below?
Slowly built into my power...
You have your typical Vortech/Procharger setups confused with Eaton/Kenne Bell setups.
