Default I got a good bridge to sell you

Madmaxx Max here's another case of BS. Look at the EMC event and at the numbers from the Chiwindsor headed motors. These numbers are with a ton of work. Even the motor you are running is about the same with better springs, Are you making over 600 with a small cam at the flywheel?? This is as good as the Supersnake against the cobra in HotRod mag. Cobra beats the snake off the line, they run the same numbers in top end at 122 mph and yet SOMEHOW one runs a 12.2 and the other runs a 12.9. With a 452 stroker and 9.2 compression,3.31 gears, I ran 12.8 at 108mph. This was on a good track in 95f temps at gateway. Supersnake had new slicks and the cobra was running old billboards. They also had SUPERDRIVER, with a couple of years raceracing and about 5 minutes of 1/4 mile knowledge. This guy knows nothing about driving cobra and the supersnake can make anyone look like a pro with 750 HP.It's amazing how everybody brings out a cobra for one of these events that then try to do everything possible to SMEAR it with losing. Bad driver, old tires, worn out clutch, worn out motor, bad trans, and the list goes on. If you want to see a cobra do it's thing, goggle Opltimate battery challenge of 2 years ago and watch how bad and mad the guys who put this event on where. #3120 was invited back but, "NO COBRA". So he used his street GT-40 which also showed and did well for little added work. If someone had helped Bruce with the tires, this also might have ended with a better finish. Runmor has it the that he had only 28psi in rear tires and needed about 40psi. rearend all over the place and still ran .3 to almost win the autocross or road race. Let me know about that bridge Max. Ps it's numbered and everything Rick L.
