Well I found a little problem with my Cobra. I have the Densecharger 100mm TB to fender. I was reading that someone was having trouble with theirs collapsing on the high end. I finally installed the updated elbow that John sent me and found out that mine must have been sucking closed also. After installing the elbow with the insert to keep it from collapsing I noticed that it really pulled from 5000 on. I mean good enough that from a second gear roll with the yoko 275's it would start to break loose at 5000 rpm and actually start hopping sideways. So I put the DRs on and went out and gave it a run with the G-Tech. I cleaned the tires good, launched at 1800, spun a little in first, spun quite a bit in second, and pulled off a 13.15 at 112.7. Can't wait to get to the track with some good pavement, drop the presure in the DRs, and try to break a half shaft. I want 12's NA with a car that still gets 19mpg in town and 24 on the highway. I love this modern technology.

Oh by the way another bit of help was the new Ford Motorsport Racing tack with shift light (early Christmas present from my wife). With the 4.30s first gear is so quick it is hard to catch the shift before the rev limiter hits. And Ford makes a Tach Driver for $50 to hook up the tach to the COP Cobras!
