Well, after putting in the solid axle and 4.10's I knew I would improve my time of 12.2, which was at a half decent track on a BFG DR.

My 28x12.5 Hoosier QTP's have not arrived so I borrowed a set of 17" ET Streets on 03 Cobra wheels, and had a Moroso DS-2 Skinny on the front end.

Friday night was my first time on this combo, and believe it or not my first time on a "slick"...the air was cool but the car was still warm after a 20min cool down (drove 1hr to the track, which is our GOOD track).

Friday night, first pass I launched at 4000, cut a 1.69 60ft and ran a 11.3 @ 120mph. By the time I got around for another pass the track was closed. Although I did not get in as many runs as I wanted to, I was happy with the results but KNEW it had more in it.

I decided to go back Saturday night after work to see what I could squeeze out of her. I let the car cool down for about an hour, with the IC pump running with ice in the res. to keep it cool.

First pass I launched at 4800, cut a 1.735 60ft and ran a 11.760 @ 126.95. I decided to hot lap and see what she could do. I did a nice long burnout, lined the car up perfectly launching at 5000 cutting a 1.59 60ft giving me a 11.162 @ 121.50mph . I ran 7.189 @ 93.24 in the 1/8th.

All in all I am happy as this was my second day on slicks (3rd pass ever) and a new combo for me with the rear suspension. I know the car has more in it and hope for at least a 10.99 on the bigger tires.

Very nice numbers Paul...of course anything less and I would have razed you big time...lol

thats some serious 60foots and serious launches...guess that solid is holding up pretty good!!!

 

Thanks Eric....

 

Do I see stock clutch? It held dumping it at that RPM?

 

Stock Clutch, Stock Motor, Stock Tranny.

It is holding right now...who knows how much longer

 

OMG, that kind of HP out of a stock motor. I was told that 400 FWHP was close max for a stock block(bottom end). I guess you blew that out of the water.

 

Remember, this is a 2003 Cobra which has forged pistons and rods but it is still stock :biggrin:
