I own a 03 cobra and of course it has a blower but i have a friend that owns a 02 ss camaro and he has 100 shot of nitrous on it nothing else and he says he would smoke me down the track any ideas to who would win this one and im all stock with the blower?

You are about to get skull drug.

well looks like you guys were right i just thought the blower in mine and the 100 shot in his would even eachother out but i guess without my blower i would be slower than him i was nasty i went to the track and i ran a 12.96 and the ss ran 12.31 he killed me just like he said he would.

What was your 60' times and your MPH? Your running about the same #'s as me but my 60's were 2.24 and MPH was 107. Just curious!

not that i think i could do any better but i'd think your car has a lot more in it than 12.96 @ 109. your 60' is maybe a bit below avg on street tires - might try dropping the rpm's by 500 and/or slipping the clutch a bit more on launch. once your moving you might experiment w/ short-shifting 1-2 to avoid wheel spin. you need to shift as quickly as possible though so you'll be putting power down all the way down the track. consider if you take even only 1/2 a second to shift and you only shift twice (trapping in 3rd) that's a full second of coasting.

2.1 on factory tires is about average, though 2.0 should be possible.
I would think you could trap higher than 108, especially considering what time of year it is.

So you have two screen names? You are aware that doing so is against the rules. PM Hotrodsandbooze and tell him which account you want de-activated. Just letting you know.

Hmm... "I have an 03 Cobra, of course it has a blower."

Good luck.
Exactly what I was thinking.

AND he's bouncing between two accounts. Hmmm. Sounds shady to me.
