2004 Cobra 2.3 whipple / nitrous coupe 1/4th *video*
Got the car back out to a 1/4th since my last outing in the 8th mile track rental where is went a string of 7.0x @ 102. Since then I changed rear gears to 3.31 from 3.73's and had my diff rebuilt. Needless to say the conditions were better air wise but we had a 15-20 mph head wind the entire day.
After my first pass where I had fuel cut on the third gear powershift I immediately went back and ran again.
The car was holding on the 3-4k dump on the prior pass so I did that again. This was the first time actually making a full pass and I thought I was going to be able to make it without shifting into 4th, I was wrong and when I did it was pissed as you will see in the video.
1.655 60ft
7.039 @ 101.01 8th
10.880 @ 121.4
Next pass a member here TurboTrail and I ran and he had just cracked off a 10.1 @ 138 or so and I said **** it i'm going to try out the spray vs him. I wanted to leave at idle as this wa smy first pass on the spray and didn't want to break the tires loose when it hit, needless to say not the way to launch as it bogged, bad.
2.04 60ft
7.25 @ 107.86
10.87 @ 137.9
Turbo trail ran 10.19 @ 139.95
I was pissed at the launch, literally went around and made another pass vs his brother on the spray. Clutch was starting to smell some from the last pass (800ftlb doing work to the RST). I launched a little higher but still had bog.
1.73 60ft
6.90 @ 107.7
10.53 @ 136.69
Red car ran 10.55 @ 134.9
Next pass I let the car and clutch cool for an hour and ran the red cobra again on just blower. Launched somewhere around 5500 and it went good. I wanted to have a decent blower pass hitting the gears to get a gauge on what the nitrous was doing for the car.
1.61 60ft
6.93 @ 102.55
10.73 @ 129.2
red cobra ran 10.799 @ 132.82
The car was 3880 with me in the car and the nitrous bottles filled.
Blower torco tune it makes 610/56x
Nitrous is a 100 wet shot via nano nitrous and it makes 77x/79x
2.3 whipple gen 2 17-18 psi
Mcleod RST 26 spline
IRS with FRPP diff and FRPP 3.31's
Killer chiller (charge temps never got over 90* before a pass and ect was 170-172)
Steeda springs, MM CC, subframes, front sway bar removed.
I'm impressed with the car on blower for being how heavy and lack of suspension mods
stock 17x9's with 26x11.5 et streets bias ply on rear.
I think it has a tenth or two on blower and the nitrous on a solid launch and the clutch not being pissed off is knocking on 9's @ 140's.
