Johnny Lightning Is The First Mustang Cobrajet In The 7’s Using Snow Performance’s Stage-2 Boost Cooler®



Johnny Lightning is the First Mustang Cobrajet in the 7’s using Snow Performance’s Stage-2 Boost Cooler®
In the first time out for 2016, Johnny lightning wheel standed his way to a 7.96 sec ¼ mile in Florida. He was able to do it with the addition of a Water-Methanol Injection system  by Snow Performance. “This car has always been in the 8’s. The Snow injection cut a good 2-tenths from our time and a full 90ºf from our charge air temps - It works!”
Amazingly, this was accomplished using 100% water. Even more could have been attained by adding 50% methanol to the Snow Performance system. To view actual product used click on link:
