What do you run? The fastest ported & pullied Cobras run deep into the 10s.

i said i ran faster than *most* ported/pullied cobras.. not faster than the fastest... and thats on motor..
and those who are geared towards that DO run fast times.
again.. not faster than the fastest.. faster than most..

I've seen that list! Those are super light-weight cars. I was actually referring to bolt-on cars, (intake, exhaust, etc). There are light-weight pullied Cobras running deep into the 10s as well. Although not as light as some of those, 2800lb race-weights with a driver is insane. 
|
yes the race weights are insane...
wish i was there...
but you do have to think... even without the weight difference... they would still be dead close... and thats NA... i dont have a problem with cobras having blowers AT ALL... but what im pointing out is the power difference... bolt on cobras put down what? 425+.... a bolt on ls1 puts down 330-340 tops..

Not taking it personal. This thread is about GTOs and Cobras, you seem to have taken it a little personal as you've somehow associated this discussion with your own car and fbodys.
|
honestly, dont know enough about GTO or their times... mostly because there is not enough who drag race.. to have an intelligent debate/conversation about it.. so i have to resort to ls1s in general.. trust me, its not personal.. nothing on the net is to me..
i use my own car because it is a pretty good running H/C car.. better than saying well my friends buddies uncle has a car that supposedly has these mods i think and he ran this time...

True, I was just pointing what an auto does for ANY platform. I'm personally not a fan of automatic cars anyways.  There are some guys on here that are though, and it does do wonders for ETs.
|
i love the a4s!
and yes it does MAJOR woners for ets with some applications (mostly depending on how shitty driver is lol)

Yup, plenty of stock suspension Cobras that cut those kind of short times going sideways. All it takes is a sticky tire and a good driver.
|
and the ones doing this are on stock blower? (that wasnt an ass question, i really am curious..)

Well that's what this thread is about.
|
as stated above, i have no choice.. if you wanna talk i gotta include all ls1s or i dont have much to say...

Never said it was your fault, (lol) I was simply pointing out how 99% of LSX owners build their cars. I mean the prices you listed are beyond a stretch, $300 for a cam swap..
|
i wouldnt say 99%... most people do budget builds... not always the cheapest of the cheap... but nowhere near high quality.. usually somewhere in the middle, towards the bottom..
i didnt say 300 for a cam swap..
cam=250
intake=300
gears=250
stall=300
LTs/cutout=320
tune=300
springs/pushrods=250
lid=50
i didnt add misc. things like oil and stuff.. so you can add another 60 bucks for misc. things...

Those aren't all options, look at my post more carefully, I was still VERY conservative
"Intake, Catback, Tune, Drag Wheel + Tires, Suspension, Nitrous kit = $2,000+"
That's assuming you can get drag wheels + slicks and skinnys for under $1,000. Springs, a cheap catback, lid/intake, dyno tune and nitrous kit for another $1,000.
|
i disagree there...
intake-275$
i went with new pacesetter LTs xpipe and expensive mufflers... it all cost 650$ exactly
suspension... im still on stock suspension... about to pick up a set of bags for 40$
nitrous kit.. i have bought two kits both each under 400$... one was a VERY nice kit, one is decent..
i bought my drag lites with tires in front and rear (like 400 miles on them) for 750$

Like I said, around here H/C bolt-on LS1s are a dime a dozen. I owned one, a lot of my buddies owned one, I'm not just guessing here. I was talking about GTOs anyways, if I was talking fbodys I would have brought up the cost of replacing broken 10 bolts and/or upgrading to a 12 bolt.
|
im not guessing either.. i built and own my car.. along with helping and getting help from many buddies.. i know prices... VERY good (it matters to me, im not loaded).. and i do things for as cheap as possible with still buying a quality product.. if a 10 bolt brakes (mine and MANY friends spraying 200 shots have been) get another one..

Not a fan of buying shit parts, (I want stainless headers, I want a catback that sounds good) and I don't have the resources to tear down my motor in my garage or do 6 hours worth of labor to swap my headers, (pain in the ass for fbodies, once helped a buddy) 
|
i buy nowhere near shit parts.. my exhaust sounds VERY VERY good.. ask around on tech.. i have a ported FAST intake.. i have a Vig. converter.. ms4 cam... PRCls6 heads.. dual springs.. hardened push rods... etc.. i wouldnt call any of that "shit" parts.. not even close..

not as much as supporting mods.
