seems like auto is the way to go with these hell shats
Hellcat did pretty well even if it did have nearly 80 more hp. May not be that much of a difference if HC hp is measured at flywheel and the Cobra hp is on a dyno. I think it is a little bit of a stretch to think that the HC will be easily modified if tuning is as cryptic as I've heard it is on other Dodge models.
Good race but I was a little surprised the Cobra pulled away as easily as it did once it got rolling thru the gears. This coming from a guy with the same setup in my Cobra. If the HC would have been banging gears the Cobra would have walked away more, no?
If that cobra did have a 2.9 whipple and only made 630rwhp, (dynojet) than its running really low boost. They usually make 660+ on pump gas with ease if ran at the right boost level. I make 710rwhp on 22lbs of boost with my 2.9. so if this cobra was to run the correct boost for that big of a blower, it would have pulled even harder. IMO a twinscrew needs 19lbs at least. Iv owned lots of twinscrews even the very first 2.4 kb that came out. At low boost they may put up a "cool" peak hp on the dyno but that means nothing. I remember guys running 15lbs of boost on there kb's and whipples, making a decent hp, then a ported eaton cobra running 17lbs making less hp would stay right there with them. Need 19lbs on a twinscrew. Thats my rule of thumb.
I think if it hasn't been said, we need to look at the fact that, while slightly modified, at over 10yrs of age, the terminator is still crushing some serious Competition. It's truly a mark of an Icon to see the Terminator still draggin dat ass!!

This... Win or lose that Terminator is not "built" IMO if he is running only a 2.9 with supporting mods... I consider him to be pretty common around this forum. That being said, it really speaks to a 10/11/12 year old car throwing down against the "biggest and baddest" thing around these days. Definitely the mark of an icon and further solidifies the Terminators place as an amazing piece of automotive badassery.

Come on Tezz, slightly modified?
Hey hey hey! This is Team CoBro! We make our own rules here buddy! LOL
Come on Tezz, slightly modified?
Its not built but more than slightly modified.....Fair statement??
The car is modified, period. Why downplay it?
