i on the other hand... drag times is ALL i know.. i dont know what handles better for the most part between most cars... dont know which one brakes better...
i know ET's/traps/60ft.... ET is the only one that matters.. and is what i have been arguing for.. if you want to talk anything else... im out, because trap speed doesnt matter at all.. roll racing is ghey.. and anything else, i am too ignorant about, and would be made to look a fool.. so no reason for that..
i have met many ls1 owners that "claim" times.... i dont believe anyone until i see a slip, or see them go down the track..
i have been trying my hardest through the entire thread to post exactly that kind of thinking.. i have absolutely thought that way the entire time..
there are plenty of people in here that look MUCH MUCH more biased than myself..
as for forced induction.. i could care less.. i do on motor what most people do with FI.. with nitrous, im beyond what the majority does with FI.. i could care less how many PSI either car can hold.. and if you wanted to play that game... you could ask who would pick up more on a cam swap..... honestly, i dont know what a cobra would.. but i would bet money it wouldnt be anywhere near 60ish rwhp.. does that make it inferior? absolutely not.. you just have to mod according to your platform...
and FWIW, again, not that i care.. but an ls1 on 4-5psi will make more power than a cobra on 8psi... will it hold 20pi on the stock bottom end... hell no.. it wasnt designed for that... but 2k$ and it will..
again, it doesnt matter.. was just posting it up for anyone that was interested..
but again as i stated many posts ago.... Dyno numbers dont mean jack shit... the top 3-4 lines of the board that flash up after your pass is all that matters..

You obviously do care about what a car makes at any particular psi because y'all keep bringing it up. Don't sit there and tell me "If I want to play that game" because y'all are the mofo who keep bringing this stupid hp per psi argument up. Thats as stupid as me saying give me a 3.9" bore with 346 ci and see who makes more N/A hp. Sure a 4v would probably make more hp, but thats not the case so its irrelivant.
A cam shouldn't gain as much power with a blown car because they make the motor breath better which lowers boost pressures, but if you pulley the car to make the same psi as before who knows. The shop I use built a 600 whp ported Eaton Cobra with a factory short block and ported heads and custom ground cams, so obviously cams and ported head are benefitial when setup right on Terminators. You try and push yourself off as one of those, "I'm a hard ass drag racing mofo," but I don't care. Good for you. The lights are all that matter to you. props!
Also 2K for a full built motor made to handle high boost pressures?
lol, Right! Quality parts sure have gone down recently I guess.
You'll still be pay well over 6K for the blower setup though, and you will be doing all the labor yourself.
You have no bones about calling Terminators "SLOW" because you feel they don't run good ET's for the power they make. "SLOW" is a pretty bold statement to make about a Terminator on svtp. Thats getting up their towards the top of not only the SVT pecking order, but the Ford pecking order as well. That would be like me going on Tech and claiming that I thought C5Z's were slow for whatever reason. That would probably ruffle a few feathers and have a few people saying why don't you come run me so I can hand you your ass. Terminators are not "SLOW" by any means, and there are plenty of examples of people running fast times with them.
I still can't figure out why your in the market for a Terminator as you claim that a fast ET is all that matters to you, yet you think that Terminators suck at running ET's? Why don't you just buy yourself another Fbody, GTO, or ZO6 because from your opinions of these cars it seem like you would be happier with one of those seeing as how roll racing is gay, and DR'ing is all that matters to you, and Terminators suck at it?
