New Eaton record - 10.34@132

[MBH]

The record belongs to F8LSNAKE. I'm just posting this because I can't believe how fast he is for a ported/pullied no nitrous, stock manifolded & catted car. There is obviously weight reduction, but I still can't believe it. Makes my shifting seem like I'm making a sandwich between each shift, and I thought I was pretty good hahaha

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to the track today for the Musclecar-Evolution track day. The air was great and the track was working. 1st pass I wasn't expecting the track to hook so good and I bogged the car. Here's the breakdown on that pass. 60'-1.589, 330'-4.461, 1/8-6.82@105.92, 1000'-8.884, 1/4-10.611@130.8.

2nd pass I was prepared for the awesome hooking track and launched off the limiter.
60'-1.441, 330'-4.27, 1/8-6.636@104.21, 1000'-8.675, 1/4-10.397@131.00. New record.

3rd pass. Launced off limiter again, but experience a hiccup on 2/3 and 3/4 shifts + car wasn't as cooled down as before. 60'-1.434, 330'-4.297, 1/8-6.682@103.18, 1000'-8.751, 1/4-10.486@130.32.

Last pass. Let car cool for 2hrs and let it rip. Unfortunately the track was gettin cold, but the air was too. 60'-1.499, 330'-4.287, 1/8-6.621@104.35, 1000'-8.643, 1/4-10.346@132.00. New record again.

Oh yeah, on the first pass, the car ate a rib off the belt. The other 3 passes were made on 7 ribs. Lol. No slip though, it maintained a tad over 16lbs through the traps every pass.

I wish I could have had the 1.43 60' on that last pass. It would have been a 10.28 or better. Oh well, still not bad.

Another angle of the same pass. Closer up with burnout.

in the second video, you'll hear some lady referencing David spraying the car... that is not F8LBITE, his name is Larry. The supra is spraying in the water box behind him (and later would run 9.9 @ 138)

Haha impressive! Wat kind of sandwich u makin? Lol

[BOOSTINSRT]

WOW! Very impressive! I've seen some KB's that dont run like that! Love the bigs and little on the Termy's!

I'd like to see what Pure Stock's 03-04 Cobra would run with a Eaton if he ever owns one.

[Silverhatch]

I just think its funny that Purestocks car runs within a few tenths of this Cobra!

proshifted?

[no1fordgirl]

Very nice!

I would be willing to bet this cobra weighs MUCH more than the fox.


There is something about a new edge stang with big n littles with the 28 inch tall tire, no stang looks better!

I'll give ya that one.

The Ideal ET for 131 mph is 10.30. For 132 mph it is 10.22 The cobra did not even achieve it.

Ideal ET for PureStocks 126.02 is 10.70. Ran a 10.59 on that one.

Ideal ET for the 125.52 run is 10.75. Ran a 10.59 on that one also.

What is the the point of this post?

That cobra is running good but it is not even running on the ideal. With a few tweeks and some steller driving it should have 10.1x's in it at that mph. and most likely 10.0x's

I am gonna bet that for one there is not enough gear in it. Have no idea what is in it but just a hunch.

No doubt, PS's car runs great.....Well they both run great, but power to weight ratio on both cars is something I would like to see. A heavy car with butt loads of power will trap high, just like an underpowered car thats lighter.

That is if all things are created equal. You're assuming that the coefficient of drag and the rolling resistance of both cars are completely identical, as are the power bands - in which case your math would be perfect.

The point, I suppose, is that this is currently where the record for the 03/04 cobra stands with the eaton. If he stripped it down to 2xxx lbs race weight, I'm sure it would be faster

[BOOSTINSRT]

I completely agree with CAM303 , my uneducated guess would be that the eaton is starting to run out of effeciancy up top, and the gearing not letting it go faster! Like I said this is just a guess! I'm not sure where the eaton runs out of steam at!
