a 26" tire with 3.55's will get to approx 140 mph at 6500. I dont see the cobra trapping that lol. but all well, maybe he wants more mpg's. haha.

It would be cool to directly compare it to a the same set-up with the only change being gears.

That Cobra is pushing a lot of air, but I'm still thinking its going to be an awesome run, not a total beat down in other words. Ls1 has a huge gear advantage as well as FI that requires zero power to make, little less weight as well. Idk, I'm going to have to give the nod to which ever car hooks the hardest.

Is it going to be a dig race or your typical 60 roll?

With me having a 10 bolt and him having 3.27s we agreed upon a 40 roll. 1st gear for him and 2nd gear for me.

it's gonna come down to whoever drives the best i think. with him starting in first he's gonna have to shift soon and way before you, so how that one shift goes could effect the whole race imo.

A roll favors the higher powered car. which should be the KB powered car. But it should be interesting. Your LS1 should be a low 11 second car. Have you had it at the track yet?

yeah with the gear + weight advantage it'll be closer than i was originally thinking. driver's race, cobra gets the win drivers being equal, it's his race to lose.

Nah I haven't been to the track yet, I hope it will be trap in the mid 120s when I go though. Its a full weight car besides the race stars.
