    Just ordered an 04 Competition Orange Cobra

    I would like to know why you are paying roughly $33,000 for a 04 Cobra when you could save $5-8k and buy a slightly used 03 Cobra? Is it just for the color? Is that color worth the $5-8 grand? If so, why not just buy a 03 Cobra and paint it?

    Electric cut outs a waste of cash?

    I am not sure about performance gain, but my buddies Z28 sounded AWESOME with his cut out. I did not know they made them for mustangs. I think it would sound good though. And it is a cool sleeper mod. Keep the stock catback, then open it up when you want it loud!

    Turbo Stang

    I think you can throw the turbo on your 302 as long as it is a pre 93 5.0. That way you have the forged pistons. Then while you are pushing moderate boost 8-10psi, save up for a nice DSS block. I know a guy who made some insane numbers on a stock notch with auto and the HP kit. Something like...

    When is it time for a tune up?

    Yeah, I do not know why it will not stay tight. It tightens down, but then a few days later it is rotating again.

    When is it time for a tune up?

    I bougt this 5.0 a few months ago and supposedly the engine was "rebuilt" about 15k miles ago. Well, it has TFS TW heads, #2 cam, GT40 intake. When I dynoed it the first day I owned it, it only dynoed at 247RWHP/287RWTQ. I was not worried about it because it still had stock headers, crappy o/r h...

    More new Cobra Killer Dyno Numbers

    If/when you go with an i/c look into Snow Performance. You can find his ad in MM&FF. He sells water/methanol injection kits for $299-399. The best thing is you can just refill it with windshield washer fluid. The 93 Cobra in the ad is his. He is pushing 650RWHP at over a mile high with his 306...

    Where to get valve cover gaskets?

    Hey guys, I am leaking oil and it looks like it might be from the valve covers. What are some good gaskets to get? I have TW heads and the valve covers say "powered by ford" on them. Where can I get good gaskets? Thanks.

    Getting car checked, what to look for?

    I already had in mind the compression test, leakdown test, and coolant pressure test. When I had my a/f checked on the dyno from the tailpipes it was so lean it was off the charts during the low to mid range RPMs then came down and fattened up a bit, but was still at 13- 13.5 at peak HP. My fuel...

    Getting car checked, what to look for?

    Hey guys, I bought my 5.0 a few months ago and I knew something was wrong with it ever since I dynoed it the first day I owned it. The dyno was really low with 248RWHP/287RWTQ. This is on a 5.0 with TFS h/c/ GT 40 intake. It had other bolt ons. It was missing headers though, so I bought some...

    H/C/I or s/c???

    If you have enough for a s/c I would do that because it takes alot of scratch. Then when the money comes along get the h/c/i. As far as pushing air through ****ty heads/intake, it does not cost much to port them through tmoss. That would be good for the time being.

    Any mile high city stangers???

    There are a ton of stangers in CO. Every year in the summer they have the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup (RMMR) in Steamboat Springs. MM&FF comes out sometimes even. If you want to contact a local club in Denver you can go to www.coloradostangs.com They have a forum there. I used to be a...

    03 COBRA Engine - into a FOX Body?

    Cobra owners get in here

    First of all, why buy an 04 when you can get a semi used 03 or new 03 for cheaper? I have seen 03 Cobras asking 28-30k with low miles. With dealers trying to get rid of the 03s now, you should be able to get one cheap. Unless of course you are getting a Mystic Chrome then you are the man. I...

    Ran a [email protected] 3.27 Gears, NA!!! 3476 lbs!!

    I did not read all three pages, but I read the first page. I believe he is telling the truth. That MPH is really high, and those are amazing times coming from stock gears. Good job. For all the haters out there, it is coming from guys who have not run as good of times. I ran a 13.11 in SC with...

    KB Dyno #s

    I thought that meant you were running lean? My a/f was at 14/1 when I was NA and it popped alot on deceleration. I think you are running lean. Maybe you can take your car to ford and have them re flash your computer for the 4th gear rev limiter. That does not sound right. Have you taken it to...

    how can i get 600-650 rwhp on this car??

    You would probably free up about 30+RWHP by doing these mods 1. LT's 2. O/R pipe 3. Catback 4. Underdrive Pulleys 5. Timing Adjuster In fact you dont even need the headers, but the headers will give you a better power band. All I had done was o/r x pipe, catback, pullies, chip, and...
