Nice.

And a more modern version that would be fun to try is a '03-'04 Terminator Cobra @ 390 h.p. and after reduction = 312 hp

Alan,

I ran that combo at a couple races in 2008. Went a 10.75 on the 11.25 A/S index. So that won't fly in your discussion. Wish I still had the car, LOTS of potential!!

Bret I still wish I would have got that car. You're right there was lots of potential there and could be fairly fast. If I had the money that'd be one I'd consider building still.

Bill we last ran ours in 2009 or 2010. So I'd guess that was probably the last time.

Yeah Rick, I wish you guys would have bought it, at least it would have stayed a stocker. I sold it to a guy in Ohio and he put an automatic in it and started bracket racing it.

It was right before the change. I didn't have it geared right the tune was way conservative and the motor was a complete stock Ford unit with a set of experimental cams from Comp, this was before all the modular motor stuff had really come out yet for the NHRA cars. I should have built another one.
