Not Ranked
Justa6 - I'll tell you the same thing that I told a fellow from Chi Town at the fling that runs a 3.8 six. Your car SHOULD run 10's. Don't forget that your car would run C or D gas if you was to run your legal class in NHRA racing. That said I totally agree with your statment that it is a combination thing that produces the results. If you don't believe what we have been saying above please remember that by in large these cars were not made to be ran 1/4 mile at a time. You are indeed in that group of guys that are the exception, and so am I. My car was NHRA certified just 5 weeks ago and is built with the 8.80 index in mind. If you want to talk about it you can e-mail me at rnldshock@aol.com as I don't want to broadcast this cars credentials over public forums. I've been running NHRA style for quite some time now and yes I chose a big block to run because of duribility/cost issues, not power issues. In fact, in no posts I made above mentions power numbers, but I did mention times. Yes, big blocks should run in the 10's and 9's. But not in street Cobras. And that includes sixes that produce over 450 hp. So what else is new?
