Default Raced a Terminator

I got beside a 03/04 Cobra at the light and I asked him what he was running and he said 500hp. So the light turns green and we both get on it immediately . We both had a perfect launch with no tire spin and then he put five car lengths on me in first gear alone.................Total domination.


































I was driving a 40ft Gillig transit bus that prolly does 30's in a quarter mile..........................lol. Seriously though what is the cheapest way to get a Terminator modded up to 500hp ?

Cobra to 500rwhp.. there's a guy on svtperf, that had full bolt ons, upper and lower pulley swap, and was putting out 530 something? I think he also had a ported eaton... Really not that difficult... People expect me to be atleast in the mid 400's with just exhaust, upper and lower pulley, and of course the tune that comes with the pulleys...

How much boost is safe for the stock block on the Terminators?

They say 25psi for the internals... but not more then 15 on the eatons... that's why there are a lot of guys running around with 2.2KB and Whipples... Whipple.. the poor mans KB! haha

Whipple > KB.

500 WHP would take a full exhaust, intake boltons, ported eaton, pulley, and a tune, plus probably a upgraded intercooler tank etc (they say the stockers will heat up quick at increased boost levels.)

2000, there was a guy on svtperformance.com - had all those mods and made I think 538 rwhp or something like that... I don't think it's that hard to get to 500rwhp, but its a pain going from 500 to 550 to 600

Since when is a whipple>KB 2.2? Most Cobra guys love the KB... I like the Whipple because its a solid s/c and it's cheaper

He never clarified if it was at the fly or at the wheels but either way I would have been in trouble.....I hear Cobras arent the most reliable of cars but does'nt all that extra mod work just lower it's reliability even further?
