    well, end of the season came for me so i figured id throw these out there and see what everyone thinks....

    My car: 03 cobra, stock eaton, 2.76 only, Intake, catted h pipe, slp loudmouth, Kurgan chipped, Nitto 555r. 88,000 miles on the clock

    the car made 428whp on the chip alone, and i went to the track making this much power

    60'..............1.77
    330'............5.029
    1/8.............7.737
    mph............91.38
    1000...........10.045
    1/4.............11.992
    mph............116.04


    I went back to byron on saturday, cut 1.6's and broke my halfshaft on my last pass, never got a clean run in. the only difference with my car now is a full kurgan tune, not just a chip.

    I am not an expert, but, looks like a damn solid 1/4 mile time for 42x RWHP.

    Sorry to hear about the breakdown.

    thanks, yeah i was driving the car okay, my 60ft improved greatly with the addition of the spec 3, but the drive train wasnt having it, i was so used to having the play of a stock clutch and being able to let it go, and the 6 puck is a completely different story with a lower power level car

    Kinda like a gator clamping down.

    I run a RAM HD clutch with mine and love it. Had that put in when my stocker fried while running with a 2.76 upper. So far so good with the RAM handling the Whipple.

    Now... Just waiting for my IRS to shit the bed, thus, forcing me to go solid.

    Are you running drag radials or a slick, and do you have full legnth subframe connectors?

    A slick will absorb a lot of that stress sent to the half shafts with a drag radial. Some stiffer springs wouldn't hurt either, there a ton of things you can do to help keep them in tact but if it starts to hop, get out of it :burnout:

    Still good time for your power level :biggthump

    Keep blowing shit up and you'll change your tune. :p

    If you're gonna spend alot of time at the dragstrip, the solid is the way to fly. :headbang:

    Grippy clutch + grippy track + stiff sidewall drag radials = continuing to break stuff in the IRS when dumping the clutch.
