New uses for subwoofer packaging

nice car man.
what kinda gas mileage you get in that cobra??

It's pretty asstastic for the driving I do. It gets 22 mpg on the highway, but only 13 around town. That's actually part of the reason I got a bike. It will allegedly get somewhere around 50 mpg.

For a camaro man, that cobra is sweet...

Indeed, i am also a camaro guy myself, and i saw the car in the background and thought.. "yet another fix or repair daily" but that car is pretty cool...

Haha, well I can tell you that box is perfectly sized for a 10" subwoofer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Wow I had no idea cobras ate that much gas. My friend has a gt and that thing gets around 20mpg in town:crazy:

Yeah man, why do they need to ship it in those? They could use some cheap crates...

I know right? My SE12 came in a cardboard box with some foam blocks around the magnet and the rim:furious:

Love that Cobra man. Do you have any dyno numbers or timeslips?

Oh yeah. Here's a video on the dyno:

That's with a 3.25" upper pulley. It's supposed to make about 15 PSI of boost, but it's hard to tell when the factory boost gauge only goes to 10. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Those numbers are actually a bit low for a Kenne Bell because the belt is slipping at the top end, and it's running out of fuel. My tuner figures a Reichard Racing 3.25" pulley would put it around 550, and he can probably get it up to 580 or so if I step up from the factory 42# injectors to some 60's. Beyond that, I'll need to start looking at some SVT Focus or Aviator fuel pumps. I'm going to do the LDC head cooling mod and probably put in a larger radiator and intercooler reservoir before I start pushing the boost though.

I've only gotten it to the track once. I granny shifted it to a 12.5 with a miserable 2.2 60' time. After that, the clutch gave out and started slipping. My last run of the night was a 16.1 against my cousin's vette. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Unfortunately that was the only run of the night I got on tape (it's about 25 seconds in):

It sounds like I'm missing every shift, but the car is in gear each time.
