2013 2.9L Super Cobra Jet Crash at Cecil County

FINESPLINE · 11-17-2012, 01:33 AM

The wheelstand of Ralph Porpora's A/S Camaro was quite similiar as far as how fast and high the front end popped up.

Curious...what's this bushing all about? Where is it and why is the new one so much better?

I've got the Cal-Track wheelie bar going on my car. 97" WB cars like mine are prone to poppin' the wheels up pretty easy. I also invested in the AFCO's w/ BNC valving and altered the valving for stiffer rebound from what I ran before.

It doesn't look like too many of these new super cars run wheelie bars. I know a 2-speed auto will kill a lot of bottom end but a big SC on top of an engine will certainly give back a ton of bottom end! Just because you spend $100K on a factory turn-key race car doesn't mean you shouldn't consider a revision or two.

The way the '13 comes from Ford the button he holds is the line lock and the 2 step is on the brake.

Here is a link to the new bushing kit . Dont know what they are made of but they really losen up the front end on the new CJ and old one's as well . Depending on where you get them they run between $580 - $700. Worth the money

^^^ $700 for that? WOW!

Thanks Bo! I suspected it was that one, but since it didn't say CJ anywhere on the page I wanted to be sure.

Bo- Thanks for passing on the info on these.

The text will be updated shortly to reflect the Cobra Jet use.

Also our original pricing was based on very low production, as we're using more of them we can pass our volume savings on to the racers. Expect a price reduction at the first of the year.

Thanks,

Jesse

Why use the line lock and have your foot on the brake at the same time? Wouldn't that be one extra step you have to do to leave the line?

KevinS · 11-21-2012, 04:05 PM

I am not sure why you would do that eather, with it not being a stick car. If you look close enough you can see a difference in pedal height so he was holding the brake pedal also.

Maybe his 2 step and not a line lock?
