Another day, another dollar. :) I just came in from La Paz yesterday off a 15 hour job, so I've been out of pocket for a week. Sorry for the unanswered messages, but alas, work does prevail...heh. Last contact I had was with Firme this weekend, you people were in Baytown, my plans were rerouted over to HMP at the last second for a 12k race that didnt materialize...they wanted none of our LUV truck for some reason. Check out www.hotrodgossip.com (http://www.hotrodgossip.com/), read the posts. We were the "Evadale Invaders" there. ;).
Anyway, came in day before yesterday, needed to drop off an 8.8 out of a 2004 Mach 1 at Pyle Bros in Baytown to get the 9" clips welded onto the ends to set up my rearend for my Cobra. I guess hemmorhaging this cash is making me senile. As usual, they did an excellent job. I ask myself, why buy a new Cobra and do this? Well...the record for a Cobra is 9.20 or 9.30 in the 1/4 mile. I want to do this and remain streetable. Yeppers, I want to drive it the 100 miles on Tuesdays from Beaumont and still run these times on the strip. Oh, forgot, thats 200 miles roundtrip. :)So I tossed another 10k into the mix based on Transmission, rearend setup to do it.
To quote our illustrious friend Mr. Rodgers (JIMMYSIDECAR!!), can you say insanity? Sure, I knew you could...heh. Anyway, sorry to be out of pocket, and I am from time to time depending on work schedule out of pocket, and drinking due to expenditures, but I am always around. :)
Jesus, you guys should see the parts list, check it out. :)

I'm sure there is stuff I forgot, dont feel like reading bills, makes me ill...it IS afterall a 2004 Cobra with 1400 miles on it...
I, as you have at this point surmised, am an adrenaline junkie. Straight line acceleration. I have parts for sale. I will buy a 2007 Cobra. Yeah, like this will be streetable within a year... D0h... :) I have a bunch of parts for sale, stock parts as well, as you can see. This 2004 Cobra is rapidly becoming less and less streetable. Guess what? I learned 90% of it on these forums. Best bang for the buck you can get here.
Read and learn.
I'm looking to COOK the 9.20 record for straight mile acceleration with a stock block Cobra. I'll do everything I can to do it without lifting a valve cover OFF the spray. Really. My next step is head massaging, cam work. I should run pretty hard within that realm before i just cant wait and work the heads and get some custom ground cams. I really want to accomplish this without opening the stock motor.
Did I say that a 9.20 - 9.30 in the 1/4 mile is the record on a stock block?!
Guess what guys? I'll DRIVE this puppy (when I'm finished) 200 miles round trip to Houston to our next Tuesday, or show. Yep, I know. You guys and gals think i'm crazy, but hey, I'm on a mission from god....heh. The 2003 - 2004 Cobras are factory built, forged from the factory, so i'm exercising my right to do it :) I feel a 9 second Cobra should remain fully streetable and I want to prove it off the spray. Just my opinion. (Hey, if I need to spray it, Ford Motor Company building the bottom end the way they did, totally forged, they did allow me this option. If it explodes, I'll build a stroked modular.) I live for straight line acceleration.
The excellent people at www.trianglespeedshop.com (http://www.trianglespeedshop.com) helped me accomplish this. Sharp people, within 110 miles of all of you.
I know you guys love and LIVE for the open course. I'll say SVTCobraClub.com at the end of the 1/4 mile. :) LOVE YA!!
Oh shite...i forgot to say...DAMN all you SCMC girls and guys for making me want to prove I can do this!!!
No place else have I met a nicer bunch of people. Sincerely.
GOT TORQUE?
