Go here and read a little about motors.. http://ls1tech.com/ Look at the internal section.. MINOR head porting and a new cam took a LS1 camaro from 305 rwhp to 415 rwhp. 2 seconds? Maybe not.. depends on the car.. but who said anything about 2 seconds anyways? YOU said 13.6 - ONE second = 12.6 which = 12s in the quarter.. and mobbo, I am trying to explain something to him.. arguing somewhat civilized.. yet once again you poke you fat head in here and add your usual amount of brilliance.

The mysterious 2 seconds came from an earlier post that had a link to a 1/4 mile time which was a 13.6 and your argument being that the car (supposedly) came with the option of dual carbs and a wilder cam, and I went out on a limb and thought you were saying that the time came from a car that DIDN'T have those options.
So lets get to the basics: You say the BOSS 429 can run 11's stock. You also say the Shelby Cobra can run low 12's.
I'm sure the Cobra makes as much if not MORE power than the BOSS. And as YOU said it runs low 12's, which makes sense since the car weight in at around 2500lbs(about the weight of a damn civic!) While the BOSS weighs in at a hefty 3500lbs if not more. But yet according to YOU the BOSS can run 11's and the cobra low 12's. I guess that extra half a ton helped out the BOSS in some magical way???
