    Which shifter to get???

    Both great. Whichever one the person owns is the one they will recommend. Honestly, you can't go wrong either way. I have the Triax...love it.

    How much for spring install????

    Took me and a friend 4 hours to do my car...taking our sweet time and using all hand tools. First time. A friend of mine got a quote to do his GT convertable...about $450 for springs, install, and alignment. Three of us ended up doing his car in about 2.5 hours. Again, using nothing but...

    Thinking about buying 1999 SVT Cobra...

    LOTS of other things you can do before I would worry about the heads. Exhaust Gears Intake Pulleys Tune Shifter Just my 2 cents.

    Thinking about buying 1999 SVT Cobra...

    As for the 320hp question...the things you listed were all fixed. Ford did a "recall" to fix these issues. Call 1-800-SVT-FORD with the VIN to make sure the 99 Cobra you are looking at had this done. I haven't had a single problem with my 99 Cobra...well, when it was stock anyway. As...

    So I finally stepped up to the plate......

    It sounds like it had the fix....they ALL had the fix for the most part. Consisted of them cleaning up all the excess flash material in the intake, new mufflers and computer tune. Call 1-800-SVT-FORD and give them your VIN...they can tell you if it was done. Don't lower the car 2"...you...

    To charge or not to charge

    First off....Solid Snake, GREAT avatar!!!! :D As for supercharging your 99 Cobra, here's what you will need most likely: 1. Supercharger of course. On your stock block I wouldn't recommend anything over 11 lbs of boost. After cooler is optional, if you have the money. Although some...

    NEED TIRES AND WHEELS

    They are actually 18x9.5 wheels. I have 265/35/18's on the front...a little small. I had 275/35/18's on the back and they fit perfectly....both tires were Yokahama's. I have since went up to a 295/35/18 BFG DR's to handle the power the blower added. It's a little taller than the stock...

    cobra stuck in reverse

    If it's not coming out of reverse, don't force it...you probably have a bent/damaged fork. I just had a Viper T56 put in....at the track it locked into 4th gear. Only 600 miles or so on the "bullet proof" tranny. It's being fixed by D&D for n/c....they had a batch of tranny's go out that...

    front runners on my cobra

    Info: Bogart Racing Ricky (619)596-7605 They offer front runners that will clear the brakes. They weld on a spacer to make it all work.

    spline count on '01 Cobra rear?

    Wrong. 31 spline. The 99 Cobra got the 28 spline, then the 01 got the 31 spline. In 03 Ford increased the diamater of the overall shaft making it even stronger, but it remained 31 spline. So you need the 31-spline diff.

    PMP's vertical door kit?

    Thoughts....it's too rice. There's a guy here in Michigan that did this to his Mustang. He was at a local car show 2 weeks back. The doors he had also opened up regular...some kind of piveting hinge. He looked like a thug, but I did talk with his hot girlfriend about the car. She didn't...

    Bumps and Clunks in the Tranny

    It wasn't officially a recall if I remember right....call 1-800-FORD-SVT and give them your VIN...they will know for sure. Regarding the clunck...pretty normal in my experience and others. It's not really the trans doing it...something to do with movement in the IRS. Once I went to a solid...

    Forged Internals

    There are stroker kits out there...dont' know anything about them though. Big bore's seem to be more popular. My rebiuld is underway.....keeping the stock forged crank and adding forged eagle rods and diamond pistons to the bottom end. SHM oil gears too.

    supercharging my way to 700hp!

    Stock block: Vortech S-trim, ported intake, LT's, o/r X, 03 Cobra injectors, MAF, fuel system and Boost-A-Pump. Tuned on 94 octane gas, 13 degrees timing, 10.4/1 a/f above 5,000RPM....500+RWHP. After about 4,000 miles...getting blow by. Rebiuld in the works. Plans: Hone block, forged...

    Need new clutch opinions/experience please...

    If you have the 03 Cobra T56, then your 6th gear is a .63...unless you had them put in the Viper .50 6th gear. First gear is a 2.66...which is a DOG if you are stilll running the 3.27's out back. I have 4.30's....4.56 wouldn't have been unreasonable either I think. I need a new clutch...but...

    T56 swap for 01 Cobra?

    Check out D&D Performance You probably need to change the flywheel, housing, and driveshaft. D&D will have all you need. I had the Viper Spec put in over the winter....had some problems with it this Spring and after running it at the track it's locked in 4th. Not too happy, but they will...

    what kind of times do 99 cobras run?

    If you race someone on the street and catch them at the optimum RPM, then I can see that. But the launch is most of the reason the 99-01 Cobra's get mid/high 13's at the track (IRS). Put a solid axle in the car and it will immediatly go down to low 13's stock.

    How much would this cost?

    Well, that is an 03 Cobra with the ProCharger on it....that motor is already forged. Sooooo, if you wanted to do something like that, parts and labor, I'll say around $16,000 or so. That would be all labor, the supercharger, forged bottom end, fuel system upgrades, tuning...everything...

    Getting my 01 to 500+hp

    I know what I've paid...and what I'm about to pay....and I know SHM is even more, so my advice, "Don't even ask!" :D
