    I was quoted $300 (5 hours), so my bushings are still sitting in their box in my garage.

    Anyone built their own "supercooler"?

    You'd use the AC prior to your run to chill the coolant reservoir. Then you'd dump the reservoir into an intercooler with a WOT switch. And then everyone would bitch at you because your AC is dripping water all over the track. :)

    Anyone built their own "supercooler"?

    Here's the link to the Lightning concept: http://www.fast-autos.net/ford/fordlightningconcept.html "Ford's patented SuperCooler technology cleverly provides a special burst of power for the SVT Lightning concept. Traditional intercoolers dissipate heat from the supercharged air by circulating...

    fr500 heads

    03 Cobra/Mach heads flow about as well as FR500 heads and cost a lot less. You can get a pair for $500 or so used.

    Which Clutch is best for my application

    I have an Apex Motorsports dual kevlar clutch. It isn't cheap, but it feels great, it won't ever chatter (even during break in), and it will handle horsepower up to about 800.

    The time has come!

    If you get a C&L (or any aftermarket MAF for that matter), be sure to have your car dyno tuned. An untuned C&L will lean out your air/fuel mixture, and that isn't healthy with nitrous.

    Stock Gears

    Stock is 3.27 for a manual transmission and 2.29 for an automatic. Numerically higher gears accelerate your car faster but run your engine at higher rpms for a given speed. Here's a PDF with stats on 2004 V6/GT/Mach1 mustangs: http://www.mach1registry.com/images/2004mustangs.pdf

    99 Cobra owners please respond!!

    Those are very close to my first numbers. I had probably 15 more rwhp than you when I made my first runs, but my car is around 200 lbs heavier than yours, so it all evens out.

    Here are my best runs from July 03 (u/d pullies, C&L), Oct 03 (same mods, cooler weather), and Feb 04 (+prochamber, much colder weather): ....... Jul .... Oct .... Feb 60' ... 2.44 ... 2.30 ... 2.27 330 ... 6.39 ... 6.25 ... 6.03 1/8 ... 9.52 ... 9.36 ... 9.01 MPH .. 78.19 .. 78.47 ...

    01 wheel hop

    Swap your IRS for a solid rear. If you find a GT owner who wants an IRS, you can usually trade straight up for their axle and the labor cost for the swap. If you want to keep the IRS, you can minimize wheel hop with differential bushings, a pinion nose brace, IRS subframe bushings, and...

    99 Cobra owners please respond!!

    If you're trapping 100 mph stock during the summer, you're doing pretty well. My first time out to the track last July I couldn't quite hit 100 mph, and that was with underdrive pulleys and a C&L MAF. I went out again in February with much colder weather and a new MAC prochamber and trapped...

    TORQUE SPECS FOR SPARKPLUGS ON OE COBRA

    Change the plugs with the engine cold to avoid damaging the threads.

    Will Prochamber fit a 2003 Cobra

    Doubtful. The T-56 transmission mount sits further back than the T-45. Admittedly my T-56 is a D&D conversion, so I could be wrong about a stock 03. It's possible the stock 03 crossmember isn't as beefy as the one from the D&D kit.

    BEST maf setup for most TORQUE...opinions?

    I'd expect around 10-15 HP/TQ with the combination. A larger TB won't make a difference on a naturally aspirated Cobra.

    BEST maf setup for most TORQUE...opinions?

    It doesn't really matter what MAF you get, as long as you get a tune. A MAF shouldn't really be considered a "bolt-on" because it will probably screw up your A/F ratio without a tune. Personally, I have a C&L MAF with a SuperChips SCT flash.

    Is it just me or can something be wrong with my trans?

    Sounds like you need a shifter with a stronger centering spring. I have the same problem with the OEM viper shifter. I was in 4th yesterday and tried to hit 3rd, but ended up in 5th instead. One of these days I'll get tired of it and buy another tri-ax like I had on my T45. If I'm not...

    Last straw: DON'T GET YOUR WORK DONE HERE!

    If you're going to be around next Tuesday (the 6th), you should bring your car by in the evening and stick around for our SVTOA meeting. Team Ford gives us a competitive labor rate and 25% off of Ford OEM parts. You can check out our forums and schedule of events at...

    Last straw: DON'T GET YOUR WORK DONE HERE!

    I hear nothing but good things about T&J. Higgins Ford Performance over in Douglasville also has some quality folks. Personally, I get all my work done at Team Ford in Marietta. They sponsor our local SVTOA chapter, and they really stand behind their work.
