Cam's procharged cobra build thread

Thats what you thought just before the Hello Kitty Nationals (Sponsored by Dave @ Twilight Auto) and we both know how that turned out...

No I went into that race as the underdog and knew it would be close, this time I'm bringing a bazooka to a knife fight ;)

Oh I love revisionist history. I remember this conversation shortly after:

[my buddy] with the same setup ran a 12.2...

admit it you THOUGHT you were going to pwn me. lol

this time I'm bringing a bazooka to a knife fight ;)

I'll see your bazooka and raise you a nuclear bomb!! You'll wish I only had 2 of the big bottles when I'm done! :)

Now don't be a sore winner. You know my plan was to tree the hell out of you and hope you didn't have enough real estate to reel me back in. Yes my buddies cam, large stall, LT's no cats, gutted SS ran 12.2. I was hoping my baby stall, stock internal,lid and catback F bucket would run 12.7-12.8 which I figured would be enough to get you, since all the pressure was on you. Didn't go my way, but since you are pulling out the wayback machine, remember also that I told you I have nothing to lose. If you win, nobody will be surprized that your 420hp new car beat my 300hp 17 year old pontiac. but if I do win it will be a great upset! Go get all your bottles and bring lots of jets sunshine

I remember a number lower than that :)

The wayback machine also recalls you being disappointed at the aforementioned 12.8, but hey, its in the past. Tomorrow is another day :)

You should be worrying more about your leet exhaust than the jets I bring buddAY!

Is it possible I mentioned a lower number to psych you out??? Hmmmmm. No 12.7-12.8 is truly what I figured it would run. I was disappointed it only managed a 12.9, I feel it should have done a little better than that.

Um, no.

[PaxtonShelby]

What did you guys run? I can't remember. Times and mph were pretty close right?

[Cam99]

my best was 12.9 and ran a couple 13.0IIRC mph was 106ish again from what I can remember. Canadian bacon ended up with a 12.59 as a best if memory serves

[Cam99]

So back to the current car. Removed the rice-tastic narrow band that was in it and installed an innovate LC2 wideband. Just have to get bung welded in exhaust and hook up the 02 sensor

[Dan B.]

So, you need some bung work?

[Cam99]

So, you need some bung work?

need an extra bung. ewwwwwwww

[Dan B.]

need an extra bung. ewwwwwwww

Wore your old one out?

[Cam99]

Wore your old one out?

More bungs more fun!
That would make a good T shirt

You made us both slower by a couple of hundredths. Attached is my best (12.51), your best (12.86), and my favourite race to show when it comes to ET I had your number that day! :)

[Cam99]

Well technically that top slip wasn't us racing so I call mulligan on that one! Lol

[phillysrt4]

you're just upset because I got a 12.5 with full interior, stock intake, factory exhaust, absolutely no ECU programming, off the shelf roller cam, and a diaphram clutch.

I LOVE HATERZ!!

[Cam99]

U da man!!!!!!!!!!!

[sutyak]

Still waiting on pics of mentioned exhaust.

It will be worth the wait. To say it looks like hammered shit would be a compliment!!

I'll keep sprinkling in some actual build type stuff here. The lights on this car were absolutely dreadful. Guesstimate about 3 candle power each. Saw these LED direct plug in upgrades at my new favorite place LMR. Very easy to install once you figure out how the lights come apart (directions would be nice). The difference is insane. The left side on the garage door is old, the right is new. No ricey blue tint or anything just good old american white light!!!
