Z28 (STS) vs. 03 Cobra (pullied)

[JD_Z28]

We'll my buddy finally got his car running good with the pulley and decided he wanted to run me on the open highway. Were both cruising about the same speed and I give him the jump at 65mph, he gets about a car ahead of me and thats it, from there I real him in and pull about 5 cars ahead of him by 120mph. All he has done is the 2.75 pulley, i'm hoping to run a KB Cobra next :coolman:

Oh god, I better go get a beer. This should get interesting. Good kill.

 

[ford_racer]

What numbers are you putting down?


Good kill.

 

[Smokey1226]

Before anyone calls BS....take a minute and check out the numbers or videos these STS Ls1's are making. Its pretty impressive!

Don't quite know yet but i'll be finding out next week...epper:
I'm only running 8 lbs of boost.

Special turbo system
:lol:

 

[Azar]

It's a rear mounted turbo system.

I see no reason to disbelieve you beat on a pulley only Cobra. A KB Cobra will rip you a new one.

I wouldnt be so sure on that one. It all depends if he wants to run more boost(stock internal ls1??).

Some of those STS cars are complete monsters when set up right

Nice kill jd z28 now go out and find that kb.

His limiting factor will be stock internals, where as you can be pretty stupid with a KB on a Cobra as long as you have the correct tune. Same reason why a Mach with turbos or a Procharger is a beast.....for a while.

I bet you're making 500 RWHP +/- to pull a (pullied) Cobra like that. You're definately making more power either way.

 

[magred]

STS actually stands for Squires Turbo Systems. And they make some damn good numbers. Alot of people were discounting them when they first came out but now those same people are having to eat crow.

 

[ex-PJs snake]

Nice kill.
Shame you live in California. I would not mind running you with my crappy old, IRS riddled, defunct procharged 99' Cobra.

Let us know what happens when you run into a comparable KB Cobra.

 

[Prey4Me]

+1! I got my popcorn ready for a vid of you running a KB cobra!op:

 

[ford_racer]

I'm gonna take a guess of 510 rwhp and 520 rwtq.

Just a shot in the dark.

Sorry i'm not on stock internals. I tried to get my buddy to have his friend with a KB Cobra to run me but he backed out, It dosen't matter anyway because i'm pretty sure I would of taken him anyway. I guess he's only running on 15lbs of boost :shrug:

At 15psi, I went 11.0@128mph.
I didn't make any clean passes at 17psi (broken pressure plate, got thrown out twice for no bar).
I'm now running 19psi.
Since you're being secretive with your mods, it's hard to guess how a twin-screwed car will do.
