I really enjoyed it the Cobra had over 50-70rwhp over you for sure.
I figured with him spraying the 75 shot we were about even with HP.. I don't think he had 50-70 rwhp more than me....

Pull out of the water box when doing a burnout and you wont soak the track when the water runs all off your fenders onto your tires and the track. haha.. Not trying to be a dick.. Just saying.

Nice times. We have a similar set-up but I don't have the LS6 IM. When I get my 9" and Monster clutch I will be in the 11's for sure.

Both of you pre-stage (light the top two yellow bulbs), then let him
bump in and stage (light the bottom two yellow bulbs). Now you control
everything. Bump in when you want to...or you could do the exact opposite,
but then you risk a burn down if you're going to sit on the limiter.

If I had a 12 bolt or 9", I am sure I would be deeper into the 11s

Here's a little exerpt from my PM in response to yours:

I would've been right on the money if he would've had a decent 60 footer!
Nice job.

T56 swapped, Lid, TB Bypass, P&P TB, LS6 Intake, !EGR, !AIR, Custom Cam (el torro), Mids, O/R-Y, 3:73s, Cutout, MGW shifter.

So the mods are very similar and so is the cam. i wanna pick up an UDP and switch to LT's and true duals before i tune it though. My pressure plate might be warped too so i gotta look into that.

Im not stalking your **** or anything haha but whenever i see something of yours i check it out cus its usually pretty relevant to where im at with my car.

Do you think the 85mm MAF made any difference for you?
