A ball park rule to follow is that a car length is worth about a .1 seconds when cars are running 12ish ET's.

P.S. As an afterthought why is the FD only running 10psi? Are you saying he has a stock computer with a partial bridgeport?
OMG did you NOT read what i wrote?!!!!!! please read all of this because its obvious you didn't read all of what i wrote before.

I thought it was 4 FOUR!!! cars he lost by(thats what the cobra driver said) BUT he lost BY 2 TWO CARS!!!

one reason the car was a DAILY DRIVER for me before i sold it. thats why low boost plus stock tire size. sorry im not rich enough to build a moster in a month, i had to work my butt off for any part on that car....

STOCK ecu would eat crap with a 1/2 bridge, i know personaly i guy who had a mile street port on stock ecu with just a downpipe and catback, he blew his motor very quickly.

the only reason why hes running 10psi is cause its out of fuel. all he needs is a FPR and he'll have 2 1600cc's and 2 850's in it. and will be able to turn the boost up.

here the mods of my old FD (used to be my sig)

94 RX-7
1/2 BRIDGE PORT,Dp,MP,Blitz nurspec r catback, RB spark plug wires, PowerFC, M2 large SMIC,Greddy elbow, Apexi intakes, under drive pullies, blitz bov ,non-seq, hks twin power, zeal B6 coilovers, R1 lip, a-spec tranny brace. Installing soon: K2rd fuel rail and 1600cc injectors, Walbro 255lph , SX FPR on the way

Im pretty sure that cobra trapped at 118 or 115 i cant remeber which though.

Agreed! I think some of you are missing out on the fact that the Cobra is a drag car, as most Domestics are. Their solid rear takes presedence over IRS as far as hooking up is concerned.....

But what does it matter, your FD is 10x cooler than that car anyways.

I'll take my 13-second stock FD over a 10-second mustang anyday.

And why does every thread end up in a **** shooting contest?


RX7WEE and Kevin should get a room! or at least their own thread.

I don't think you read carefully enough. He is lightly modded, but I state again that when he finally past me it was over. His third gear is a killer, once engaged he pulled on me like a freight train. And yes my car *currently* has a stock ecu *but* I'm still ported with no cats and an intake.

RX7WEEE needs to chill out on the abusive language, quit attacking respected forum members, and maybe grow up a little. Chill out buddy, he was only asking you questions.

By the way, a little punctuation goes a long way. It looks like some high school flunky typed your posts. Not an attack, just a suggestion. If you want people to respect you, you need to learn to type correctly, and lighten up on the cussing. Notice how Rynburg and Kevin's posts are all typed neatly with generally correct punctuation. It doesn't sound like they're yelling at the screen either.

Just a thought.

"OMG did you NOT read what i wrote?!!!!!! please read all of this because its obvious you didn't read all of what i wrote before."

Possibly, I did just notice that title was changed to include the year of the Cobra and that it was supercharged. That wasn't listed at the start of this thread.


"I thought it was 4 FOUR!!! cars he lost by(thats what the cobra driver said) BUT he lost BY 2 TWO CARS!!!"

It was stated the car beat the Cobra by 4 cars in the past, the cobra added pullies, and now the Cobra is beating him by 4 cars. That's 8 cars.


"one reason the car was a DAILY DRIVER for me before i sold it. thats why low boost plus stock tire size. sorry im not rich enough to build a moster in a month, i had to work my butt off for any part on that car...."

I seem to recall you made some remark about how you knew what you were doing and the car was properly set up. I didn't come away with the idea that you "knew what you were doing" but didn't have the budget for it and hence the car was in a partially completed state.


"STOCK ecu would eat crap with a 1/2 bridge, i know personaly i guy who had a mile street port on stock ecu with just a downpipe and catback, he blew his motor very quickly.

the only reason why hes running 10psi is cause its out of fuel. all he needs is a FPR and he'll have 2 1600cc's and 2 850's in it. and will be able to turn the boost up."

I kind of expected that but it wasn't mentioned anywhere. What makes you think it was running out of fuel on stock turbos at 10psi? Was fuel pressure dropping off? The stock fuel system isn't that bad. I have a sneaky feeling you could have turned the boost up a fair amount.


"Im pretty sure that cobra trapped at 118 or 115 i cant remeber which though."

He wasn't spinning through two gears running a 12.3 at 115 to 118. Without significant tire spin a 117 is good for about 11.7ish (also assumes no 1.4 60's). From the mods listed of your car a simple drop in fuel pump and race gas would put that FD in the mid 11's or better.

Okay I'm completely lost now. The FD currently owned by "Montego" is the former car of "RX7WEE"? That's what I assumed until I noticed this part, which might explain why I'm getting so confused.


from Montego, "...And yes my car *currently* has a stock ecu *but* I'm still ported with no cats and an intake."

And this from RX7WHEE, "STOCK ecu would eat crap with a 1/2 bridge, i know personaly i guy who had a mile street port on stock ecu with just a downpipe and catback, he blew his motor very quickly. The only reason why hes running 10psi is cause its out of fuel. all he needs is a FPR and he'll have 2 1600cc's and 2 850's in it. and will be able to turn the boost up."

So which is it?

Kevin,

Nope bought my car in Nov of 1998 therefore: no relation to RX7WEE.

Just to note:I am in no fear of blowing up my car as long as I stay below 10 psi
