Jerry Clayton What are you smoken?
Care to share, no you need all you can get. Where you at Run&Gun? 352 stroker motor??
There is alot to learn about throttle control. This needs seat time. Power and Tork are your friend when you know how to drive. The only cobras pulling 2-3 g's are Morris's car and the other red cobra with the big rear wing. I just got my 482 motor together before going to R&G. with another 50-60hp and 70-80ft. of tork the only different was from getting from point "A" to point "B" quicker. The better drivers all can give feedback and by there ass's know what the car is doing. In the old days cobras had poor brakes and relyed on power sliding or drifting when racing. They saved the brakes for the end of the race. Today we have bigger and better braking systems, soft tires with greater grip, suspension parts that have 256 adjustments to shocks alone, varible spring rates. Power steering. Bottom line is a street car is fun to drive on a road course but not setup to race. Main thing is larger front springs. I went from 275s to over 400+pound springs with new QA1 shocks. I had no problem with my torque monster, I am going to the dyno this week, hoping for 550ft when done. I won the street autocross and ran time within 6 seconds from a pro car GPZ vette. This is on Pilot street tires with a 220 wear thread. KCR ran a 527 cobra 2 years ago with GY tires. He ran well. HP is not aways the answer to racing, fun or serious. Rick L. Ps side note my motor never turned over 5,000 rpm because of being new and a 6 spd trans. Motor was always in the torque power band.
