I think the instant torque from the blowers hits the halfshafts hard and breaks them. You need a good 60ft to run 9's at most people's powerlevel with these cars

Clint at HPP....
IRS,6 speed, 18's
9.71 @ 154 MPH Ennis
IRS,6 speed, 18's
9.71 @ 154 MPH Ennis
He was running 23 lbs boost
Is his the blue one that looks like a twin of Manny's? I thought I read that his best trap so far was only around 144 or so.

yeah thats the car
+1...good luck Larry, keep us updated on your progress with the TS. Once you get all that power to the ground in the first 60' you will be well in the 9's for sure.
Very nice runs rtusnake!:rockon:
Thanks, there is definitely a lot left in it. That was just playin around in street trim. I put ice in it the next day at a 1/8 mile track and picked up 1.5 mph, which I'm figuring would probably be 2 in the 1/4. Later this month I'll be running it on slicks, so if the tranny and clutch hold up I should have some decent et's to report.
Snap on Supraforums has gone 10.59 @ 130.0 with the stock twins and no nitrous...
Alot of fast cars and great runs!
Although I'm not a cobra,
I have also runs 9's in a stock bottom end (street car) c5Z, 6 speed IRS and n/a.
That looks pretty comparable to my 10.34@132 on the eaton blower with no nitrous.
You sir, have one bad ass vette. I'm definitely a fan.:beer:
How much boost?
12 pounds of boost in Cobras on stock block/stock Eaton has ran 130MPH trap speeds.
If I recall, 22 pounds are about it from the stock turbos.
A Supra at the track with 18 pounds of boost at similar weight is like a Cobra on 9 pounds of boost.

Thanks
I'll post up a video and link to an article that was written on my car.
Don't want to take away from the original topic. Alot of awesome cobras on here.
I read the title of this thread being 6 speed/IRS/ drag racing and I felt included. lol

Again compairing boost from a roots supercharger to 2 turbos is completely different. The supras boost 12-14psi stock I believe.
Whats this again crap? :shrug: Yes, I believe we all know these cars have different power adders... I wasn't comparing a roots to turbos, I was comparing boost in both cars running the FI they have from the factory to run similar times at similar weights. This isn't rocket science!! Then again I should have known this shows a Supra needs a little more to run what it does compared to a Cobra and there might be people running out to defend this. Not to mention, a Turbo Cobra at 9 pounds would put down quite a bit more than a roots at 9 pounds. Peak that is.

Who cares how much boost a car runs. You act like it actually means something. Boost is a term that is used to show positive manifold pressure. Big deal...
Haha... it does mean something and of all people, you should know you need lots more to run the same times. LOL Panties a little tight? You would support that statement as CI's don't lie and it takes more boost in a Supra to make the same power of a larger CI at less boost.
I stated such because when I was running 11.0s at 9 pounds of boost, I was following a Supra at similar weights to mine running 11.20s at 18 pounds.
Some never state boost because it would tell the tale of Supras.

Really.
Please explain.
What does boost really mean to you and why should I really care...
oke:
My car made 649 rwhp and 574 tq on a puny little 71mm turbo at 18 pounds and pump gas and had a 4,600 rpm power band. Car traped mid 130's and pulled liter bikes with the AC on. If you can do it with one pound of boost good for you. I don't really care...
The car is much faster now...
