My '03 Cobra Whipple/T56/IRS vs 596 cu. in. Chevy

[black-plasma]

New PB after getting a little loose on the 1-2 shift, I caught him on the big end. Never gets old beating race cars in my Cobra I drive 50+ miles each way to the track with big/skinnies in the back seat/trunk. I ran a 10.50 to his 10.54. My next pass I went 10.46 with a 1.49 60' but no video.

What size whipple do you have? 2.9? Fuel?

 

[black-plasma]

Gen 1 2.3 and E85

Car rolls out man.

 

[da5deuce]

good shit. Was there any coolant or oil on the track that caused you to slide?

 

[cobra187]

I love seeing small twin screw cars spank the big boys. I bet you are making a lot of torque with that whipple.

 

[SilvGT]

Nice!

Oh man this gets me motivated! I'm shooting for 10.50's but on IRS! :-(. Nice run btw! That thing was dancing for sure!

 

[black-plasma]

I'm still on IRS

I think it spun because I tried launching at 4k. I backed it down to 3.5k and got a 1.49 60' so I think that is my sweet spot with my suspension.

I made 625rwhp and 677rwtq on a dynomite land and sea dyno, I have no idea what that is on a dyno jet. Eric Brooks tuned it.

Anyone else still rocking the T56/IRS combo at the track?

 

[black03kbcobra]

I was. My best 60' was a 1.54 on 17" ET Streets. I had level 5 HS in mine. You still running the stock HS?

 

[JohnnyRocket4v]

What's your suspension setup? I'm still IRS and 6 speed but haven't got a good run at the track yet

 

[Notsoslowbowtie]

I'm in the track rental at MIR through MACA this October. Still IRS. And running close to the same power as black plasma hopefully. Minus the E-85- that may be next year!

 

[speeddemon2000]

What is you wheel and tire combo? I am looking for some Drag tires for my IRS setup.

I have the pro level HS now. I ran the stock ones for 7 years with no problems.

H&R race springs and Cobra R spec Bilstein's. I have set up for open track events really. I also have the FTBR bushings, Detroit truetrac and as mentioned above pro level Half shafts.

I was a MACA members back in '05-'07. One of the only things I miss about the living in MD.
