Factory experimental

Jared, That's where the fun's gonna begin!!!! Superchargers!!! OMG!!! I can't wait to get my hands on one. Just a quick "romer' ( CNC ) trace of the rotors and away we go!!! Change the Helix a degree or two ( they'll never see it ) Seal the hook with nylatron ( it's probably an air lock design) and Teflon tubing in the valleys, just for starters. Then seal the end plates , also with nylatron. We'll cryo must of the internal parts then coat them with some type of teflon/moly coat. We'll get the intake charge down about 20 - 50 degrees. Even run it slower than designed, make it efficient out the ***!! It'll make enough boost to blow the crank out of it with VP -C25. Limit us on pullies? Who cares? This is gonna be fun! (And if you think they don't know what's going on with electronics?) Just wait.............

.....................and that would be the rest of the iceberg thats lurking under the surface.

Conspicuous by its absense in the blueprint specs is ANY specification on the Eaton Supercharger. No Part numbers, inlet size, dispalcement, outlets deminsions,rotor helix, case clearances or pulley sizes. No reference to factory boost levels.

The Cobra Jet really is an 08 Shelby GT500 with less weight and a few racing modifications already done, some normally allowable in Stock and a few that aren't. A GT500 would be legal already, they've built thousands. Ford doesn't really need many of the mods to sell the car to racers who can change that stuff.

I think it'll be interesting to see what happens.

well then, it should have a 500hp rating.........correct?

Gump, I see your point but the CJ with a 425 rating and a 720 potential I dont think the factor on Bruces camaro was quite that soft ever!!!!!!!! Jim Baileys post should show the potential of where this combo may be headed.

Cylinder pressure could be a problem ....Pushrod failure!!!...OH, we don't have any...cool, that solves that. Wonder why the McGee and all over head cam engines are banned in the Ultimate Classes in Drag Racing, Top Fuel and Fuel Funny Car? I think it had something to do with cost to the racers?

I would just love to see these cars go down the track one time!!!
