So I got a 2.3 on my cobra @17 lbs.The tune is ok not as good as others as Im making 589rwp on dyno.So on street out here in the 100s its deff feeling like less.Im guessing in the 560s with heat soak.Im going for a bigger filter and maybe offroad x since I dont want to do headers.Im also planning on adding a 2 pound lower.Im thinking this should put me in the 630 range.When I ran a 500rwp C6Z I was fine from a dig till I shut down in 4th but on the roll he was able to still roll out on me.From the 40 roll it took him a little while to get by but at the higher speeds it gets worse.I guess I was hanging ok as it seemed like when I let out around 140 I was 2-3 cars on my best run. So what do you guys think I'll need to stay ahead of one?
How much power to beat a 500rwp C6Z?

600-625.
you'll need a 100 octane tune to hit 630@19#

600rwhp + a good driver
Are you on drag radials?
Keep racing the vette down low. They are sooo much more areodynamic they cut threw the air better than the cobra's. Run him on race gas w/ a 4lb lower, make 650. If you get traction you will own him. If he's only making 500rwhp he's pretty much stock, prob just an intake n tune. Good Luck
630+
Well one way or another you're going to need to find another 50hp to stay ahead on the top end.
You got a pretty good tune there.Your @17# right? Wish my numbers were more like yours are you on a 100 octane tune?My original tune was making 605 but was on the lean side.There was no detonation and he was using a tailpipe sniffer so maybe it was a bit off.I wasnt comfortable with that tune so I had it retuned and am now at 589.Wish we had a tuner out here as good as some of you have back east.We have 2 and one doesnt return calls.
Hmmmmmmm... I have a feeling that there's a lot of bench racing going on here. Have any of you come to the conclusions that you did from personal experiences?
I've got 475 RWHP/500 RWTQ and I was at his rear quarter panel the first time and we were almost dead even the second time. We've ran multiple times and the outcome is almost identical every time. He wins by less then 1/2-1 car all the way to 160+ MPH.
And he's taken multiple racing classes on road courses as well as at the strip so I know he can drive. Not that it matters at these speeds from a roll, but just for you individuals in which love making up excuses for others.

Stock C6 ZO6.
cant find one that will race me:shrug:
Well this one is not stock and he's already raced it so we have a pretty good idea of what it will take to get what result.
Good runs BTW, way to hang :rockon:
I don't get it. You are making 25 more RWHP and 60 lbs. more torque than most bone stock C6 Z06s, and they are 550 lbs. lighter and much more aerodynamic??? Can the Vette guy drive at all?
i beat one by a half of a car to 50-150. he was at 501rwhp i think and im at 644rwhp. This is the same run that i blew half of a electrode off a plug and my iintercooler pump may have not been pumping at the time. Now i mix 110 octane and my pump is good to go now and it does pull harder so im going to have a rematch soon
make sure you have some race gas in it, those highway pulls are hard on our engines.
