My question to the tech guys about cobras, termis, specifically.
I was drivin by a car show, saw a white cobra, stopped immediately to see to wassup. Apparently it was just some 40 year old guy with his kid just got it outta a barn find 2 months ago for 19k (whata steal right?). Says hes gettin numbers like 450-460 rwhp from just an intake and smaller pully...Legit?

I just want to know so that i know im right. Because, nicely, i called bullshit on him and he said he had the dyno sheets to prove it...
I dont know those car shows are wack thats why i was only there for two mins. I mean to prove my point there was some random guy in his 30s rockin a nice red mach1 with chrome saleens. I'm like alright, looks nice you got taste. Lost respect when it was an automatic and it had the supercharged badge under it. Of course, eagerly i run back to the engine to see if i missed it and no, hes faking it. I asked wheres the S/C and he says ohh its the black scoop, i say nooo thats the shaker hood, thats stock. Hes like oh oh i mean im getting a S/C i want to be like that guy over there, thats mean (points at the termi). Mach guy:he must put alot of work into that to make it look and run to way it does. Actually no, its completely stock except for a pulley and intake change, those things are called a terminator, there kinda rare in that shape. Machguy: ohhhhh.
Then just pretty much babbled about what kinda S/C he wanted and he didnt no vortech from hemi, seriously. I asked him if he was gonna put a hemi in it and he said no i heard vortechs better. After that comment i lit up a cig and just walked away...
But thats my rant. I just hate how people have pretty nice cars, but then dont know anything about them. But yeah, if you tech guys could answer my above question im hell-bent on being right, thanks!
