the cobra made it back in town. im heading out now. results in less then 2 hours.

 

I was almost stock in my 97, just drag radials, cone filter, 4.10's, and no mufflers, and I was pulled a 13.7 @96.x .. the slowest trap speed I think I had in that car.. Usualy trapped higher so it probably had more in it.. if your times are right.. and that car is a full bolt on car.. if the guy can hook at all, I would give him the edge..

I only raced on LT1.. and i screwed up big time.. I made a nice long rant post about it. It was vs a 95 auto vette... vette had minor bolt ons (I know he had headders back exhaust with the catback being borla)... and I should have taken him.. THe guy doing hte count messed me up... and thats not an excuse, the guy said we should have ran again.. I went on three.. he dropped his arms on go..... so slammed my breaks, then went again.. gave the vette a nice jump on me.. then tapped my revlimiter in third paying to much attention to the road... still only lost by a little bit.

 

just got done and at the guys house we met up at. i wont have the vid up till i get back to my house.
1st run both motor
2nd run me N20 him motor
3rd same
4th me motor, him N20
5th both on spray

before i put the vids, yes he takes me on spray. u guys can take guesses on the outcomes and lengths.
peace

 

here are the vids. there was a misunderstanding about when were going to spray and not spray.
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5

not sure if u guys can hear it in the vid, but when i am on the bottle my car sounds like a machine gun. it pulls then dies off, pulls, etc. definetly not running right. anyone had a similar problem?

 

Good kills/deaths. Looks like a couple of fast cars.

 

Looks like I was on the money about the NA race[8D] I'm not even sure why you guys decided to do a run with him NA and you on the bottle.

I'd definitely look into what's up with your car when on the nitrous.........somethings clearly not right. I don't know if it would have made a big difference in the N2O race at the end, but your car is missin' pretty bad on that run.

Either way, excellent vids man. I wish some other ppl 'round here would learn by your example:

1)set up race

2)race and video it

3)report back with results and video

That's the way it should be done. Nice runs blazer.

 

It's probably your ECU pulling timing to avoid detonation. I know the sound, I hear it from souped up SRT's on dyno's all the time before they are tuned correctly. I have also heard it from a TT Camaro that was having spark problems, so that could be it. Try some cooler plugs and see if it goes away, if not, I would get it on a dyno with a tuner.

 

thanks thisblood, it bothers me when someone calls BS on my runs. which happened alot before i got my vid camera.
and i have a mallory 685 pulling 5 deg timing and also running NGK tr6's gapped at .035. I have all the safety equipment/devices.
the hotter my car gets the more it acts up. and i am starting to lean towards it being way to rich and fouling the plugs. well see, taking it to the dyno soon.
thanks for the replies guys.

 

Nice vids bro...IMO your maro is the faster car. What size shot do you have?

 

somewhere @ 120 at the tires. but all the popping and surging that goes on, brings it down to about 80/90 by my track numbers.
went to the track last night got 2 runs in.
N/A 13.3@101 1.87 60 ft
N20 12.9@109 2.1 60ft and i didnt spray outta the hole, sprayed it at the top of first once i got traction. track went to **** after my first pass.

p.s. thisblood........ we talked before the runs and were supposed to go N/A first pass, then spray the rest of them. so the 4th run where he sprayed, i purposely ran him N/A just to get him back for ****ing with me, haha.
once i get my car running right there will be more runs and i dont see him on taking me on the bottle, time will tell
