C6 VETTE

Elevation has much less effect on blown motors than N/A ones.....Furthermore, I take Evan Smiths numbers with a grain of salt....He also got a stock F-body to run a 12.9 (I hear ppl on here saying they have never seen it and call BS anytime someone tries to say a F-body has gone 12's)....A 12.4 is not a low 12....Also I would like to point out that I have never seen a stock Terminater run better than a 12.9 at Sacramento Raceway which is at sea level by the way...


EDIT- I remember reading that Doodad took his snake to a 12.7 in stock form....He's also gotten a stock S197 to a 13.4.....He's a phenominal driver,but a 12.7 is'nt close to a 12.4.
GT500 is 300lbs heavier and has 75-80rwhp more than the SVT....EJS has ran the GT500 which has a solid axle to a 12.2, but has ran 12.4 in a car with 75-80whp less,300lbs lighter with IRS only .2 slower?

Off subject but,
C6 Vette, do you ever go race at Sac Raceway? I might go on the 22nd.

i was just going to reference your car and the numbers you put down. proof that these cars are underrated.

didn't someone else on here pull like 407 bone stock?

C6 VETTE

I have'nt ran either of my cars there...Last time I was there was for Mustang Madness late last year....Have you hooked up with Sleeper? He frequents Sac Raceway...

I didn't know they were that underrated.. Maybe 390/395 is realistic. If so, WOW! What are most terminator's trapping stock? With 390/395, I'd say trap speed should be around 114-116.

doodad

shop dynoed my car and told me that my car put down some healhy numbers 370rwhp. and i said isn't that normal numbers for cobras? he said on dynoject yeah but not on mustang dyno. and i asked so what would the car putdown on dynoject then and they said it would be around 407rwhp.
and i posted here about it.

but after i talked to a few VERY GOOD tuners, they said mustang dyno can be made read just like dynojet and then they looked at my dynosheet and they said it is nothing different than any other stock cobras. so 407 was complete BS.

370ish on a Mustang dyno would put you anywhere from 455-485hp at the crank. That doesn't sound right, not for a bone stock Terminator. I fully believe they are underrated, but there can't be that much variation in stock rwhp numbers. What kind of weather did you dyno in?

i DO NOT believe in Mustang Dyno anymore after talking very respectable and knowledgeable tuners, drag racers. this is what they said,

"A MUSTANG DYNO CAN BE MADE TO REAR JUST LIKE DYNOJET"

thats why i put (normally) after that. sometimes they do read lower than dynjoet but they can be adjusted.

my car dynojet the same thing on dynojet. so go figure!

On the same dyno, buddies dynoed their cars and they had identical results compare to dynojet.

again, a stock cobra is an easy 420+HP car.

In the past I didn't believe it either, but after seeing Doodad's videos and dyno sheets. I've changed my thinking about Cobras. Doodad has always backed up everything he's said. I respect that.

This is a very interesting subject. There are a lot of guys on here that live and die by their dyno numbers. It seems like the favorite thing to say is I made XXXrwhp on the mustang dyno so that's easily XXX on a dyno jet. I've seen people with the same mods as me that claim to be making the same hp on a mustang dyno as I did on a dyno jet. Then they credit themselves with an extra 15hp. Not that it really matters because it's all the same on the road but it's just retarded.
