mrphotoman drag vids
Drove 3.5 hours up and drove straight onto the track so the car was really heat soaked. I then let it sit for about 25 minutes but it was so hot out the engine was still too hot to touch. I forgot to turn off the damn traction control on the 2nd run lol. I wish I could have ran more but it started to rain, I launched at idle then at 1,000 rpms so I know the car had a lot more in it. I was hoping for a lot better times (and more time to try different launches) but unfortunately the ran hit. I will be back soon though. This was the first time to the track with my new car (I have been to the track many many times before over the past 5 years in my other car however).

vids look good, thank you for sharing them, sorry we didnt get the intakes out sooner so you could have had it on the car. at least now you have a stock baseline
Unless those are slicks your running, suggest driving around the water box. It will only slow you down.

I was a little dissapointed but the weather was hot, the car was really hot and I only ran 2 times. I am sure if I would have let it cool down then launched harder it would have got me close to a 12. I thought I had plenty of time to experiment today but that rain showed up within 5 minutes, it was crazy.

14.29@99.51
and
14.54@97.59
The track is Pittsburgh Raceway Park, temps were 84 degrees and elevation is 1,250 feet.
I will scan/post up the timeslips tonight and I will keep adding to this thread as I mod the car.

Best time was 8.21 @ 86.45 mph, pretty good for just an intake and tune! Listen to that d@mn announcer, lol.

Bike Cop (son) if my Cobra run that slow i would take out to the back field, dig a hole, shoot it and bury it. It looked like the black mustang in the 2nd vid. didn't know how to stage.
