Not only is that 3 to 4 tenths in performance, it changes the whole set up of the car as well, so what will that cost them in performance?

You are correct, we did go 9.26 but that was great air and only once. Also the mustangs have went that fast in BB/SA or it might have been CC/SA at the Gators this year. He went 9.24 as a matter of fact. I believe yall all know the Tetuon's, we are NOT scared of a fight if we have the slightest chance and some times we dont even need that. We love to race but come on now, superchargers make their own air and we all know this.

I wouldnt count us out no matter what, we have been known to do crazy things!

That was in great air as well, on a track that was working very well also. These cobra jets aren't top fuel and funny car, they don't get to change pullys, etc to make up for bad air. Conditions impact these cars more than you think. Also, like I said, these cars are going to have to add a lot of weight as well. No one ever figures that you guys are scared of a fight, your cajuns? right. lol. I'm just saying that this shootout is not a true measure of any of these cars performance. NHRA is trying to even the playing field, but at the same time put an index that will prevent racers from qualifing for the main race.

The cobra jets haven't been that fast weighing 3675 lbs. Quote C and W Racing.


I understand that was in great air but they can run that fast is all i was saying.

Ok cool, thats good to know. I wasnt aware that the did. I was told that it wasnt till the new 400 trans was developed that they superseeded the old powerglide from 2008 and new. Thanks for the info update.

How have yall been? Are yall going to play in the showdown at Indy?

In the 2012 Cobra Jet manual they call out the 3 speed on the smaller blower engines. I don't know how many were made but it was standard for that combination.
