    The mods or the times?

    Here's a vid of him and some other similar modded Cobras at the track. His runs are the 3rd, and last runs.

    As for the mods, I'm going off what the owner, and those that know him said on the forums. I'll see if I can find some pics though if it interests you that much.

    Why would he go to the effort of changing to turbo but keep the stock cams?

    who the cobra?

    Because its running narrow slicks up front, to reduce rotational mass and the slicks help grip for steering in case of emergency, althought they will do very little at 150mph

    why mess with something when your already pulling 8s? Probably because all the cam's for the cobra are meant to work with the S/C not a turbo

    The point, was that this was a callout (by a built evo) gone bad. And, that with the right setup, RWD>AWD....

    From what I understand, EVO guy know what the Cobra had, and what he ran. He just thought things would work out different on the street.

    I'm guessing staying with the stock cams was a dollar/per hp deal. 2-3K for some custom grind turbo cams would probably net him an extra 100 horsepower or so(best guess). I've seen similar setups at around 20 psi see gains of around 100 hp by going with turbo cams over the stockers. And in most other applications custom grind cams are good for 30-40 hp. Though they are blower cams, they work pretty well with turbo setups. It's an expensive mod for the money for these DOHC motors, and one of the last mods you'll see on the to do list.


    I don't know what the EVO runs, but its a 700 whp car...
