Wait... Who's the Dumbass racing a Rare 93 cobra.

This '93 Cobra is truly a "show" and "go" car. The car recently placed second in the SuperNationals car show held this year in Albuquerque, New Mexico in a field of over 100 high dollar show cars. Anthony raced the car the night before, drove it to the show, cleaned it up and blew all the "trailer queens" out the door!
The car also was taken to California, where it was dyno-tested at PowerTrain Dynamics, one of the top dyno facilities in the country. On a run with 20 psi of boost, they had to let off at 4500 rpm as the boost was climbing a little too high. Still, the car put down 630 rwhp @ 4500 and 787 rwtq @ 4100. The torque peaked at 4100 rpm but the horsepower was still climbing! These are actual numbers at sea level, no correction factoring. The boost was then turned down to a more street-friendly level, peaking at 15psi but bleeding down to 13psi (need a different boost controller), and the car made 572 rwhp @ 4600 and 708 rwtq @ 4000. The car was tested using Phillips 66 118 octane gasoline, 27° total timing. There was no detonation.
This car has out-of-the box Edelbrock Performer heads, Cobra intake (lower matched to Edelbrock runners) and a B-303 cam. The short block is completely stock with the exception of ARP bolts. It still has the stock displacement, crank and rods. The turbo kit is the base HP STAGE I STREETURBO kit with the C&L MAF, 42 lb injectors, a 1:1 regulator and the base HP hybrid 60 mm turbo. The transmission is a World Class T-5 with a SPEC Stage III clutch, tires are 28x10.5 ET Drags with 3.73 gears. The power curves are as flat as Kansas.
Anthony regularly drives this completely street-legal car on pump gas on the streets of Albuquerque (elevation 5,200 ft.) and then drives it to the strip to make consistent runs in the low 10's and 138 mph!
