Is that a Dyno Jet? I thought they topped out at 1200 hp...

Wonder what tricks he uses to get that car to hook so well? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Being a Turbo car, they tend to launch on the soft side compared to raw horsepower or nitrous. I 'd like to know, other than welding the head to the block, how does one contain 59 lbs. of boost?

I know some of the Porsche Turbo race cars welded the head to the block..

------You can see how softly he leaves. It makes the ET even more unbelievable. His 60ft. looks like it stank, but, whoa momma after that 1st 60 I dont know how he held onto the wheel. Must have superglued his one hand to the wheel and the other to the shifter!!!..........Bill S

Re: Charley's Greatest Fear....
 

Is that 11.89 vs 12.30? That's movin.

Re: Charley's Greatest Fear....
 

Yep, that was what we ran- notice how the Cobra only used 2 gears ! My "fresh" transmission has a bad 2nd/3rd gear slider or synchro (haven't looked yet) , didn't find out until I tried to power shift it. So, to compensate, I'd leave the line at 1500 rpm in 2nd (to save the clutch), run her to 6600, force/grind/beat it into 3rd, and through the traps at 6600 rpm!

My best run was a 12.02 @ 116 - not bad for a stock 427 (dyno'ed at 447 hp at the flywheel) using 2 gears, on vinatage bias ply tires, in that heat ! I had a lot of fun, hadn't drag raced in 17 years... kept waiting for some turns to make up for my lousy start! LOL

Next year, I am going to put a couple of turbos and drag radials on it so I can break into the high-11's. Might even put a 4 speed auto overdrive trans with a high-stall converter in it. No, wait, that stuff didn't seem to help Charley much https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...arleySucks.gif

I'll let you guys know what it runs at Union Grove with a fixed tranny in some cooler weather soon. Just to clear my car's name.LOL
