Nice, big cobra fan here also. I do some side work for Performance Associates, and use to race alot back in the day with Adam from ST in san berdoo.

Now we just need some numbers. What injectors, and pulley are you running?
Have you been through the rearend yet? They get tired with big roller numbers.
You must ride to, I have a cbr1000 but not a repsol.

Yeah i used to have a repsol but not anymore due to some financial issues. Things are good now i just had to give up my bike. The guys car i installed the whipple on is running a 3.25 upper pulley with afco heat exchanger w/twin fans i also wired up. He is getting it on the rollers hopefully this weekend, it should make 600rwhp at least. I do a lot of car work on the side , i want to open a mustang shop but the economy has me hesitant. For now i have my xj and my 04 mystic cobra that i did a home port on the factory eaton myself. With a upper pulley ,exhaust and cold air intake. I havent dynoed my car yet but it should be in the 450-475 rwhp range.

heres a vid from a guy on stangnet running against a Whipple GT500 making 650rwhp...and the guy in the GT500 got a horrible launch, but ran him down like nothing. with a good launch I bet that car would be in the 11's.

There is no way a 650rwhp shelby runs that slow unless you are a retard driver. With that much power it should run high 10's

I would think it would atleast run low 11's, but I dunno, the guy that recorded the video said it was 650rwhp so who knows, you know how people like to exaggerate. But you saw how bad the black stang beat him off the line, so either he wasnt paying attention or hes not a good driver lol.
