    4.10's or 4.30's in N/A Cobra?

    Difference from a 4.10 to a 4.30 is like a 5% difference. Do yourself a favor and get 4.30's. You should be asking, "4.30's or 4.56 gears......"

    01 Cobra & Nitrous Question

    I had a friend with a 150 shot using the NXT system (I think)...just make sure you get it tuned and that the fuel pump can keep up. The stock injectors should be fine. Car had the Nitrous for 2 years with no problems...car is sold now.

    K&N Kit

    That test was done at the shop that has done all my work. The tuner, Lidio, started selling this kit at his shop for all 03+ Cobra's. With the s/c he was seeing 1 additional lb of boost. On an n/a car such as yours, a CAI kit will probably get you around 5RWHP at best....JMHO.

    Call me crazy

    FYI....Flowmasters aren't quiet at all...especially if you have an o/r pipe. Put the stock mufflers back on and keep all your cats to keep it quiet.

    Best "Chip" for N/A Cobra

    All chips are pretty close, or so I gather from what I've heard. Superchips I was told allows tuners to do more fine tuning, but for your car there's not much to do anyway. Autologic is what I run and is a good chip. It really comes down to a good tuner. For your car, most tuners will...

    Rim & Tire Combo?

    Here's an e-mail responce I got from Bogart in regards to running their 15" wheels on a solid axle with Cobra rear brakes: As for how tall, depends on what MPH you will see at the traps. 26, 27, or 28" tall tires are the norm. Hope that helps some....

    Road Force Balancing w/Hunter GSP 9700

    Had this done on me Cobra R's and 35 series Yokahama's. Very smooth. I recommend it. Now, if you are running drag radials, don't bother. Tire "could" spin on the rim, plus they are only on the back of the car so not so important. When I put the BFG DR's on there, I didn't bother as the guy...

    what springs to lower cobra?

    I added the 03 Cobra shocks and struts with my Eibachs and it was a very nice match. I got them when they first were available for $200 for the set. I think it's $450 now. :shrug:

    New 99 Cobra Owner! Few questions...

    I've been running Mobile 5w30 since 5,000 miles. I would suggest you change the oil now so you know it's fresh. If it doesn't already have it, get a K&N air filter....and while your at it a whole Cold Air Kit. Rotate the tires if they are all the same size (stock). As for maintenance...

    99 Cobra questions

    What is your intent for the car. I see you are going to stay n/a, but will you be going to the track? Running slicks? High RPM dumps? If not, stick with the original OEM clutch. They went to an 11" clutch (is that right? Having a moment :bang: ) starting in 99 and it can hold some power...

    *** Slam it and make it loud ***

    I'm telling you, hear it in person before you dismiss it. I've got nothing but compliments on my set up....an 03 owner pulled up next to me last week and said, "That car just sounds mean...what exhaust are you running? I love it."

    *** Slam it and make it loud ***

    See, I hear people say that alot too. I actually had requested the performance shop put another o/r H on when they put in the solid and had to redo the catback too. I had been running a 2 1/4 mid pipe..... Anyway, I get the car back from the shop that does all their exhaust work and it...

    Regular Unleaded Gas Question????

    :lol: I never complain...I just state the obvious. :flag:

    Regular Unleaded Gas Question????

    As everyone stated, don't put anything less than 91 octane in the car. Lower octane burns faster (which means hotter) therefore detonation is more prone to happen. Detonation is what kills motors. Think 93 is too expense...I have to run 94 octane ($2.35 a gallon) and I add 1 or 2 gallons of...

    *** Slam it and make it loud ***

    Two parts to this answer: 1. I selected 4.30's based on the fact that I put in a Viper T56 with a tall 2.66 first gear, and even with the Vortech on the car it needed help with that first gear. 2. Since you have the T3650 trans and are n/a, 4.30's or even 4.56 would be a great gear. I had...

    *** Slam it and make it loud ***

    1. Eibachs are fine. I have them and a friend with an 01 vert has them. 1.5 inch drop basically. I have cc plates, he doesn't. You don't "need" them with only a 1.5 drop....in MOST cases anyway. 2. Flowmasters are what I would still recommend. I have LT's, o/r X and Flowmasters and I get...

    O/D Off?? Cobra??

    Think of the additional cost have a special bezel just for us Cobra's....why do you think the 99 Cobra's had a "Mustang" rear bumper.....to save Ford money.

    cooling tips for these hot motors???

    Correct....and Lafear knows this cause I told him. I have the Cervini Cobra R hood for the last 2 years...the last year with a Vortech. Talk about hot!. The hood didn't come with a fire blanket...paint is fine. As for keeping the engine cool. Unless you are doing some serious auto...

    How fast will this go top end?

    4.10's would make your topend speed high as 5th gear is now usable. However aerodynamics will prevent you from seeing it's full potential. Oh, and you are crazy if you take your car up to 150+mph on the street. Forget other cars....potholes, debri in the road....you hit anything like that...
