Was very fun, can't wait to tune the car properly. I got over 10 runs in last night, it was fun & I can't belive nothing fell off the car which is ussually my luck with things LOL
My car weighs 240 pounds less then the Cobra R' with John in it as apposed to my car with me in it, if we are pretty even that would mean I'm missing 27RWHP on him, if he dynoed 440rwhp then I guess I'm at 413RWHP which is pretty good I guess considering the car isn't even tuned, well neither of ours is.
Needless to say I have 1 cam not 4, my engine is half the size of the Cobra LOL, I"ve got 16 valves & pushrods & stock ported heads.
Cobra has huge engine but less cubes, 4 cams, 32 valves, huge Roots blower putting down 12.5psi
I have to say every race at the top of 4th I start to pull on you John but thats when you stop racing you bastard, at the track I finish at the top of 4th & thats where our cars with 4.10s gain their high mph is in the top of 4th gear while you guys stay pretty much the same the way I saw it.
Needless to say it was much harder to beat you then twitch & I have to say Twitch's car is darn fast, whoever says LS1s suck isn't thinking, for a stock headed car what I saw was pretty darn good.

you guys had room, but every time we saw matt starting to pull, john hit the brakes. then when you guys had room, john would slow down to like 5kms and waste room and time untill you guys took off. john also always initiated the runs so he always had the jump, but matt always closed the gap. needless to say john your car is awesome 0-60, but 60-120 we will never know cause you always shut down. you guys had tons of room when you ran from the chevron but you decided to waste time and room by driving without lining up.
matt johns car isnt a cobra r, its just a cobra. and johns car is tuned, it was tuned when he pulleyed up to 12 psi.
you guys wanna race till fuel shuts off you gotta hit highway one at like one AM with guys ahead of you by five minutes and guys behind you and cell phones to check for cops. and the corner excuse is a poor one because all you have to do is slow down then pick it up again after the corner, or whats worng you car cant corner
imo i was more impressed by matts car then the cobra with 12 psi. in the top end its no doubt that matts car would roll the cobra, not bad for a car that lets up ten years of technology to the cobra
and twitches car pulls, very fast man, need a tune for sure and the rev limiter moved up cause you were still pulling pretty hard when you hit the limiter.

and then there's your car Roy 
The car has only been tuned so it doesn't blow up until a custom tune can be installed. I don't think running an average AFR of 10.7 could be considered tuned...........even for a Ford.
Anyway, till next time...........yeash.

lol, hey i wasnt making any excuses, your the one whos got the 447 rwhp dyno number but you wouldnt give matt a fair run. like i said your cars pretty damn good for 0-60 but 60-120mph we will never know
you did say you got a tune last night , i didnt know it was a safe tune.
but you did admit yesterday to trying to slow to a crawl so you could hook and give matt some traction problems

Matt wanted to leave second, or at least that is what he said, he likes to catch up.
The first time it was dead even.
Second time it was off the line I think, and I missed second and then got it in and he was starting to gain by middle of 4th.
Third time he was gaining right before we shut down.
The 4th time he missed 4th and it was over.
With these two cars I would say it is a drivers race, because the person who made the most mistakes lost.
Now, who breaks out the bottle first.

lol, you wanna go bottle too well all matt has to do is hook up some lines, hope you dont get too scared going over 100 mph on the street
honeslty you guys were pretty even, with matt having a advantage up top and you having the advantage down low. but i was more impressed with matts new cam on the lt1 then i was of your car, we already know what your car dynoed and we werent sure how the new cam in matts car was gonna perform. but good runs nonetheless.
the only problem is that theres no need to run anymore unless both of you guys add some more mods
