    Getting my 01 to 500+hp

    I just looked them up....yup, says it's loopy at idle, good range between 5000-8000 RPM's. The website says $1095 for fresh grinds....$600 or so for regrinds, but you need shims. Is that Canadian pricing? Anything else you need when going to these cams? Sorry, didn't mean to highjack...

    Getting my 01 to 500+hp

    SJ....ya, I think that's what went bad on my stock block...won't know till we tear into it, but it's getting rebiult regardless. Diamond pistons, forged rods, crank, bored/honed deck...all on the aluminum block. Gonna upgrade the fuel pump again to a focus pump, slap a power pipe on it and...

    Getting my 01 to 500+hp

    Much more too it than that...more boost means you need a fuel system to support it. So, bigger injectors, fuel pump, probably need to convert to a return style setup, run high octane gas....blah, blah, blah. The motor is stong...but only the crank is forged...meaning, under detonation or...

    Getting my 01 to 500+hp

    See sig..... Also note, engine just blew. Forging new block as we speak. This car had a very safe tune, ran on 94 octane gas....but it's a lot of power for a stock block. FYI.

    Supercharger on a 01 cobra

    A little lower compression...and Forged parts throughout, and you would be fine. I was pushing 514 RWHP for 5,000 miles, then detuned to 487 RWHP for the last 2500 miles. 13 lbs of boost.

    Supercharger on a 01 cobra

    Agreed....My tune was safe...in the upper RPM's I was at low 11's on the a/f....timing was set at 14, and I was running 94 octane. Cylinder pressures were just too much for the stock bottom end. I just read a post about another guy blowing the #7, 8 cylinders on the dyno...pushing less than...

    Supercharger on a 01 cobra

    You need to do a lot of research before deciding to buy a blower. There's no magic answer here....as boost is just part of the equation...gas, a/f, timing, fuel system, spark plugs....these all are factors. When measuring power everyone talks about RWHP...so, 125-200 RWHP increases are the...

    Headlight Question?

    Why are you getting new headlights? I have a 99 that came with the clear...I upgraded to the 01's so I could have the smoked headlights...I like those the best.

    01 cobra goes poof on dyno

    From the sounds of it...his didn't really make it to the street. Mine had a little over 7500 miles on it...but I knew I was pushing the limit. The IRS, with 315 Nitto's and 450+RWHP = boom Seriously, the IRS will fail...just a matter of when. The 9" is a little overkill IMHO. The 8.8...

    Are cobras dangerous?

    That is a generic statement coming from someone that doesn't know the facts.... :notnice: The frame is fine...like it was said above...put a roll cage in if you are talking about safety on the track. Talking about the street...then it's as safe as any other car out there.

    01 cobra goes poof on dyno

    Ouch...mine went poof at the track this Saturday...and my new Viper tranny locked into 4th gear :mad: Tranny has 600 miles on it, so it's being fixed under warranty. New forged block is in the works. I'll be upping the boost as well. Was seeing 13 lbs on the stock block, so I'm thinking...

    Looks like a new bottom end is in my future...

    Went to the track on Saturday. Been looking like it was blowing smoke/oil for the last week but wasn't sure. On the ride up to the track my buddy said it was indeed as he had the top down behind me. :bang: After 3 passes (problem #1), the new tranny locked in 4th. Has to go back to...

    FR500 Intake. is it worth it?

    {in the voice of Dr. Evil}...."One billionnnnnnn horse power" Only one way to find out Chris....strap that bad boy on there. Personally, I would save about $1300 and just put a shot of nitrous on there. Isn't that why you forged it. :D

    supercharged cobras: plasmabooster or no

    I'll have to check...I have a set sitting on the shelf in the garage. Can't remember the model number right now.....nothing fancy though.

    supercharged cobras: plasmabooster or no

    As far as I know, it shouldn't hurt anything...but I really don't know. When playing around with stock blocks under boost, there's not much room for error. So personally, I would take it off just to be safe...at least until you know for sure. The most important thing related to ignition is...

    Tune, chip, pully on a dyno, how much $$$?

    My opinion and others that have shared the same: 1. Water and oil temp...not a neccessity. 2. Boost gauge is nice to have....know what boost you are making, and can detect if you are having any issues with the belt slipping and such. Not very expensive at all. 3. Fuel pressure...this is...

    supercharged cobras: plasmabooster or no

    Take it off......the coil over plugs are good for well over 650RWHP. I was considering getting the Boost-A-Spark and the shop that did all my work/tuning said to save my money.

    Tune, chip, pully on a dyno, how much $$$?

    Alternative Auto...ask for Lidio. Great guy...not the cheapest, but top notch care is put into your car and the tune. www.alternativeauto.com. Yes, he did all the work to my car. Here's some pics (best I have on this computer/with me anyway):

    Tune, chip, pully on a dyno, how much $$$?

    Not naming names, but there's a place by me (one of the best imho) that is getting $1395 for pulley, mufflers, chip, and custom dyno/street tune for the 03+ Cobra's......

    500hp from SLP

    I've seen first hand a stock 03 with a K&N CAI kit pick up 25+RWHP and pick up 1.5 lbs of boost. This was confirmed with before and after dyno sheets. I don't care either way since I don't have an 03+ Cobra, so I'd like to think I'm unbiased in regards to this..... Anyway, sounds like...
