no2 and boost are not allmotor(n/a) mods
IM not going to say that 4.6 N/A Cant be fast. But its takes A LOT to make them fast. You have to over come a HUGE Cubic inch barrier. Not to mention, your going to need to rev to the sky to get that motor to really flow. Compression, tone of head work, cams ect. I hope you dont plan on smoging basically.
Have u been under a rock?!?
Im making 400 fly hp at 6k rpms, on a 4.6L with lowered comp (9:1) with intake/exhuast and stage 2 cams, that f'n impressive to say the least.
Im going to be running 600+ fly hp with 12lbs on a turbo.....
Oh wait, you could just buy a blower and level the playing field (and probably save a little money vs staying all-motor).
And your point is??? Your giving up a weight advantage as well as a power band advantage to a terminator.. I dont care what horse power your car makes. Bottom line, Using your car as a example, since you did. Your sig say's you ran a 13.7 with 315RWHP.. Well, problem buddy, thats about 1 second too slow to beat a stock 03 cobra. Not to mention at 2500rpm he's already going to be full boost, your power isnt going to come on till at least 3500-4000. (due to lack of air flow, due to small CI, see above point.)
The question was N/A mods to beat a cobra.. Whats a stock 05+ run.. MAYBE, MAYBE a mid 13 with a tail wind? The S197 a Heavy car with about 100rwhp less then a 03 cobra.. To make things equal, without taking much weight out, your going to need either A-alot of suspension, or B- Alot more Ponies. A blower with about 10-12lbs would atleast put you in the ball park. But the weight and Aero are still going to be a factor. I dont know how much simpler i can explain this.
I say run what you brung ~ Take it to the track and then go from there ! You wont know how good of a driver he is or you are until youre at the tree ! Once you get a set base established go from there on what you need ! No point in spending butt loads of cash if its not needed !
AMEN!!!!! The driver mod is priceless!!!!!
I've seen numerous F/I cars running mid 13s all day long because of inexperience! Same day as I've run my 12.9s with just under 300 RWHP, but I took weight out, but still ran much faster!
There is a guy with a '10 GT manual running LTs and the other basic bolt ons with 4.56s and running 11s. That has to be 350 RWHP or less! So that is a perfect example of a very good driver with the right mods and cooperative track prep/weather
