Local NA 5.0 invited me in a friendly callout to go get the sauce from him so I did what any logical man would and drive an hour and a half in light rain to go get it. Not many cars showed up due to weather but it cleared up just in time. 5.0 was running a blower swapped (VMP according to some that have talked to him) cobra and invited me along and after the run I could continue home. Cobra started 1/2 car ahead but was able to come around him at 130ish.

Not sure if it's just me but I can't watch your video. It won't quit buffering but I can watch any other video on YT.

A 6R80 Coyote with a centri is a damn beast. That will ultimately be the direction I take when I'm done with the nitrous.

Good races. Not sure what the NA 5.0 was doing calling out a car with the same motor as him but with a blower.

Thanks. In his defense, he races a lot and I don’t doubt he’s beaten a centri or 2. It’s the easiest setup to **** up. Most people will just slap it on and slap on an email tune on 20s with a manual, they don’t know if there’s false knock or real knock, they don’t datalog and the car spins from anything below a 60, if your shifts are slow the car falls way out of boost and they rev the car to over 7300 not knowing if there’s power up there.

When I first got the kit and threw on the kit with stock manifold shifts were 7300 but the cars power would dive after 6600rpm, making like 530whp by 7400. Never had knock issues but some do. I have tires, I dead hook at 40 in decent streets, skinnies up front, Shelby manifold so I have a decently long powerband and being an auto the car doesn’t really fall out of boost. Just wish it was a D1sc or D1x lol

yea I cant watch the video either. But like I always said in the past, a properly setup centri car with an auto is tough to beat. They are stupid fast.

And I know what you mean about people messing up that setup. Look how many people bought a off the shelf procharger for the 03 cobra and took them off. cars weren't running like they should and weren't making the power.

I spoke to dave, juiced46 and he explained to me that the off the shelf kit is a no go. He was I believe one of the first terminator guys to own the procharger kit. You basically needed to convert to an air to air intercooler, not water to air, you also needed to change the lower intake manifold bc the design on the cobra, the runners were for a positive displacement blower. You also needed a good intake manifold like one similar to what HPP makes. Once you tweaked that kit, He also claimed that it will kill any twinscrew setup it goes against

That’s weird that you can’t see it either. Hmmm


Yea, the c7z seems to be doing good going from PD to centri. But those cars can handle an F1A which is a badass blower at higher boost.

Damn a S550 that only weighs 3300 lbs ? Does he have anything left in the interior lol ? He needs to throw in some cams see how he fairs then . Good runs !

Nice runs, My D1SC Coyote with a converter was no joke.

I’m strongly debating e85 or converter. I’m leaning E85 since it will help on the track but even more on the street. Converter mostly track, which I only attend during the few cold snaps of the year.

Owner says they are going in in 2 weeks with OPGs. Interior gone besides driver seat, drag pack, Baer brakes, alum DS, and other small details. Maybe not exactly 3300, but very close.

Go converter, I had a 2C and wished I went a little bigger. Just a whole different car way more enjoyable and picked up .6 in the 1/4.

Not sure how much it would would help during a common street encounter saw at 40-45mph. I normally have it in manual for these races and shift it with paddles because I don’t like the whole 5-2 or 6-2 downshift. I did speak with circle D and they’ve recommended a 245mm 2c based on info I gave them.

I rode with a dude that owns a 2015 GT not long ago that I worked with in the DoD that likes to do a lot of racing on the back highways that are not really used around my area and unpatrolled. Stock motor for the most part, he pulled it apart to open the ring gaps a bit for running juice and changed head gaskets with studs threw a F1A on, it pulls like a liter bike and it's no joke. Power delivery is so subtle only way you knew you were going really fast was by the push in the seat along with the F1s woosh to mask the revs. Hooks and books, no drama.

Yea F1 is legit. Procharger mentions that a lot, ring gap varies from cars to cars, some are really tight from factory and some have a bit more. Usually the ones that last with big power are the lucky ones that dont get a tight ring gap.
