10.99's, it is possible with this setup?

Paluka21 · 08-07-2002, 05:21 PM

I am searching to get a 10.99 timeslip from my 95 cobra w/o adding too many more modifcations.
First here is the stats on the car
Car made 464rwhp and 431ft/lbs with 9lbs of boost on the dyno
That was with the stock cobra upper and lower and a bbk catalytic H-pipe.

I plan on adding a holley systemax upper and lower intake, a mac prochamber, and am now seeing about 11#'s of boost from changing my 'homemade power pipe." I will be guessing the car should make around 485-500 to the tires and probably 450ish ft/lbs. The car also has a MUCh better clutch now, a spec stage 3 over the centerforce, it seems to help the car launch much better.
Car weight is prolly alot, Im saying around 3600 with me in it.
So, does this car have a 10.99 in it on drag radials w/ a decent 60'?
Ive never ran it before w/ the supercharger, best it went on the motor was a 12.98@106mph and it made 288rwhp.

any replys welcome

Its really gonna be about gettin the power to the ground.

I think you can do it, but probably not on drag radials.

Your going to need a 1.5x 60' to get into the high 10's. So get some slicks and start seeing what it runs and work from there.

But "the fast and the furious" says that all cars(as long as thier imports) can run 10 seconds on the street with street tires. Why would he need slicks?

Ha good question.
Guess the same reason I could use street tires to run 14.5's right?

j/k

Skyman, funny thing is, the car seems to hook fairly well on the bald nittos. I only pulled 1.88 60's on the motor, however I beleive I can get in the 1.7 range w/ them as of now.It may not be enough, its just really frustrating since this is my goal.
Anyone else have similar power #'s and ET's for your car?

Another reason I am shooting for high 10's is because a friend I know runs 11.5's on drag radials, and I would love to be able to beat him w/ a set of "street tires."

I'd look for as many ways possible to remove excess weight if you're not wanting to do more add-ons... but, I also agree w/ Skyler; that is, get some slicks.

I think the Analyzer has a section where you can enter your est. hp figures and weight to get an est. e.t. (edit)... yep, it does. You could play w/ that to get some guestimates with removed weight, est. hp figures...
