He's pretty up there in the cam only list and ran a 10.99@126mph. A run of the mill, full weight, cam only fbody without slicks is not going to come close to that time. I've seen tons of them run, including mine.
First an foremost, good kill OP you have set your car up right. Your buddy, eh I don't know what he was thinking. :shrug: :rockon::beer:
I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering why he was leaving the line like a little girl. Street tires would make sense. He brought a knife to a gun fight.
He also did a bad job on the roll race. He either wasn't brake-stalling or has a crap converter that isn't efficient on the top end.
This is what I was thinking. Before I clicked on the vid I thought cammed stalled auto launches out of the hole, KB Cobra starts to reel him in then passes him.....instead, Cammed stalled auto lights up street tires and get decimated:nono::xpl::dw:

I cant believe no one has mention it yet, but if you watch closely you can see how bad I needed the driver mod.. with quicker shifting or power shifting it would have been even worse!
granny shifting FTL!

your talking about demonicbird(brandon)hes a local guy from my area and yeah his car has some weight reduction car still moves none the less! lol i hope the ls1 didnt expect to win that race
Alot of the stuff on that list does not mean shit and is cheap and not relivant.
The car you listed is just a cam, 4.10 gear, bolt on car. That little gearing adavange in the trans and all that suspension shit did not pick him up more than 2/10's in the quarter, hell lowering probably took that back away.
My best friends SS has a TH350 trans, cam/heads, 4.10 gears, full exhaust and a 200 shot..... runs 6.18 in the 1/8th consistanly with a best of a 6.00.
Of course on slicks. It's all in the set up. Like I said that TA on slicks from a stop would be hard for that Cobra to catch in the 1/8th but the guy was not to smart and was trying to launch a 400rwhp car on the street with street tires and a 3500 stall.
As you have seen LS1's not run well so have I seen 500-600 hp Whippled and KB Cobras run in the high 12's due to lack of hook and a good driver.
Go look at the cam only list on LS1Tech.com:read:

HAHAHAHA! Or heres a classic too, lets put a S/C on the Ls1 and then see what happens. Cobra ftw
LOL, are you trying to compare the street car in this thread (excerpt of the cars mods from the first post by silvrsrt) to the basically "race cars" at the top of that list?
First off, it's unlikely he ran into one of the 10 fastest cammed, bolt-on LS1's in the country (or at least on LS1Tech). Secondly, most of the top ten guys on that list have one or more of the following:
- sub 3000 pound race weight
- 1.3x 60 ft.
- ran in great weather (some ran in -1000 ft DA's)
- very short gearing (many 4.56 geared or greater)
The typical cam only, bolt on LS1 you'll find on the street is a mid-11 to low 12 second car at less than 120 mph. A decently boosted twin-screw Cobra is generally 10+ mph faster, especially against a stalled-auto. The real place that car would shine is from a dig, unfortunately for the LS1, he didn't have a decent tire to help him in the only place he really had an advantage (from a dig). :shrug:
My DD Whipple Cobra traps higher than every car on that list.

I would hope it's trapping higher as it is putting down more power

Oh Rly?
Pot meet kettle. This thread has nothing to do with your boys completely different setup.
oke:I've been a member on ls1tech longer than on here, I've seen the list..That's a joke you think all the other mods aren't relevant..
That car has a sub 3200lb race-weight with tons of suspension goodies. That's like saying Almo's simple bolt-on Cobra with weight reduction and the same suspension work that runs mid 10s is only due to the bolt-ons? :lol1: So by your thinking every pullied Cobra is a mid-high 10 second car and so is every cam-only, simple bolt-on fbody! Lets look at the list of fastest twin screw only, 6spd, IRS Cobras in the country and compare them to this Whipple Cobra while we are it.
+1, exactly.
