Huh? What makes you say that?

A stock Terminator usually runs in the 12.8-13.2 @ 110 range if I'm not mistaken. clcam97's car should easily run that time or a little faster if the car is running like it should.

I think it would be a close race.

I dout it, all he has is a cam with supporting mods. and 5 extra cubes. Not a big shot of nitrous, but nitrous non the less. Or hope he spins. Just thought of something is 390 whp or fwhp on the cobra, if its fwhp it should be a good race, dont mind me its early.

A boltons + cam LT1 should easily be in the 12s...

If he is so sure then tell him to race from a dig. Don't give him anything. Too close to call. Take video and post please.

For comparison, my sig beats my buddys 2003 405hp Z06 in the 1/4. It only has a K&N btw. Yes, we have switched cars and raced too. Good luck.

huh? Cobras are 281cubes and lt1 is 350?? Well anyways if you go from a roll, i dunno it will be very close, but if you go from a dig you will get him. Depending on drivers

Hard to say, you might be able to take him. It will be a close race. Just hope he doesn't do a pulley swap before lining up with you.

i think youre gonna get walked from a roll... the 503 isnt that big of a cam and from a roll who cares what it runs in the quarter, it takes the work out of launching so the cobra has an even bigger advantage as long as he can shift
