What are running in the 1/4?
i think that kit runs @ 7-8psi stock so if if he's in that range i'd bet he runs high 11s. but i'm sure he can tell ya.
Old combination was a lot more "mild" and I was running: 98 stock engine, 99 PI heads (same as 5.4 heads) that were ported/polished, 99 stock cams, 99 stock intake (plastic) and stock suspension with 5 speed and mild boost... car pulled 377 rwhp/ 375 rwtq (have dyno sheet to prove). My best ET on street tires 245/45/17 was a pathetic 12.6@113mph. 2nd pass I broke 3rd/4th gear synchro (4th transmission broken errr!!!!). Fixed the broken synchro and made pass a few weeks later, come off the line @ 6200 rpm and broke both axles @ the spline. Couple of months later and tons of $$$ and completely new rear end/sitcky tires (i.e. ET Streets) with better axles, etc.... car blew up at the 1000 ft mark (cylinder #8 completely destroyed and engine was toast) and I rolled through the traps at 12.7@115mph.
New combination I have not had to the track and had some serious tuning issues and just recently got most of them straightened out. I did, however, go to the dyno recently and pulled (keep in mind I've swapped to automatic from 5 speed):
343 rwhp/336 rwtq (6 pounds of boost) <--- baseline run stopped @ 5200
I've since swapped the blower pulley from the base unit (6-8 psi) to the Reichard racing ultra grip pulley and am seeing anywhere from 10-12 psi of boost depending on the weather, humidity, etc. When I hit the track, I run better fuel and also swap the blower pulley and see a bit more boost then my normal "10-12 psi".
Since swapping new engine/trans, rims/wheels, and tons of safety gear (i.e. driveshaft safety loop, 3" studs all around, etc, etc, etc) I've suffered tons of problems and just recently bent a tie rod on the street. Currently, I'm taking a break and just enjoying driving the car.
sell it and break shit on a new cobra with the rest of em! Nah, sounds like a monster, once you learn it and get the problems fixed, the track times should be better.
Nice car and i can't wait to go look at this one i'm looking at next week.
