if you kept up with an 03 cobra, i REALLY wanna see some times....ive already convinced myself im buying this kit the day it comes out, so get some good times for the ones (like me) that wont change their mind about buying it even if you run a 14 flat... :D

It has been nice and sunny all week long and what do ya know? I wake up this morning to rain and thunder :mad: Hopefully it stops soon so the track can dry off.

Please Keep me updated I like to be one of the first to have a shot at a kit.

Just out of curiousity -- if you're keeping up with an 03 Cobra without tuning, wouldnt you guys guess that with some tuning that you could possibly pose a threat to a Z06? That would certainly be nice

With the possibilities of the turbo- Id say the wishful thinker would be in the 11s on a well worked kit. Just think about the power adder ( Nitro ) guys and what James has hit. 12 seconds it pretty good. Yes he is the man, and has done mass weight reduction, but I think the turbo kit could pull 12s with the seats in and a stereo =) Ive done the numbers many times which are fairly accurate. He should run a 13 or so untuned. ( 14 flat would be a bad day at the track in my opinoin. Just look at what tiago did with the 3.4 This kit like tiago will be the man. So chill out on the beggin for numbers. They'll come when they are comin.

fa sho!

btw tiago..

didnt you dyno your car at only 7 psi?

[Tiago]

yea I dynoed at 7 psi shutting down 2000 rpm early, still made 260 rwhp and 332 rwtq [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Nothing is impossible, but you realize the reason James runs so fast is he has a large tq converter and Radcat's car is a 5 speed so I dont expect it to run that fast with the lack of traction I believe it will have lol :D

I NEED TO KNOW!!!! GIVE ME NUMBERS AND TIMES!!!!! Oh, and by the way, you are awesome! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

[Tyler]

you see.. i find that awesome how at 7 psi you made nearly ls1 numbers on the dyno.. even shutting down 2k early.

redcat is pushing 10 psi from what i read. i can imagine the numbers he is putting out.

[Swift_3800_F-Body]

i believe 11's are less than wishful thinking... some of the GTP's are running monster numbers with a turbo (not supercharger). Modding the L36 is the first step, not a power adder.

[Tyler]

pshh.. i'd honestly be happy with a mid to low 13 second run............... spinning..

:D :cool:

the only question i have is that is a stock (except American Thunder cat-bat) A4 with 80,000 miles gonna be able to handle the power til atleast 110,000 miles?

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Then get outta here, u have no faith in the 3800. But I do have to say the GTP is a Different engine. lower compression makes it more boost friendly. but we'll see,
