    weird smell after hard acceleration

    My 03 smells a little funny when I really go for it. The eaton creates load and heat....things get warm and you can smell it. By the 2nd or 3rd run, the smell is gone.

    take out the supercharger and replace with turbo (more)

    Leaving the s/c and adding a turbo would be just plain silly. A twin turbo conversion would kick ass but is expensive. Cheapest way is to get a bell or whipple. A twin turbo would have minimal lag, HUGE power and drivability (provided the tune was correct) and much better fuel mileage than...

    I need a tuner.

    Maryland Performance. www.marylandperformance.com Forgive me for not having the number on hand. NICE facility with Superflow dyno. They are a superchips custom dealer. I've done more than several custom files through them in the past, and they always provided the data I needed to make the...

    03' 10th Anniversary Convertible leftover "black"

    ... You're crazy. I paid $28k for my sonic blue coupe (chrome) nearly 6 months ago. offer 28k, even though it's a convertible....maybe even offer $27k cash as a 1st lowball offer. It's a "year old" now, even if it's new. You might snag it for $29k. I would not pay more than $30k...

    BIG TIME EMRGENCY...03 COBRA, HELP.

    I drove mine 1,000 miles and modded away. Heres the way I see it..... I can get a new entire rotating assembly for about $2k. Me and a buddy can build it for a grand total of about $3k, maybe a little less. I understand it isn't pocket change, but it isn't a lot of money. So....IF I pop a...

    chips and engine failure

    A chip can cause damage if the guy who wrote the program was an idiot.

    Superchips Tuner or Predator

    ... It isn't necessary unless someone is sending you PCM's without the car.....there are quite a few tuners that perform this service. A programmer is the easiest thing. Just make the file, load it in and ship it.......no down time for the customer. Still, there are times when you will...

    Superchips Tuner or Predator

    ... A good resourceful tuner should be able to do this. It's something that can be built easily.

    BIG TIME EMRGENCY...03 COBRA, HELP.

    Engines in general are tighter than they used to be. If you run 20w50 in a new engine, the oil pressure will be sky high and I've seen many cases where the bearings are scuffed. A tighter build will call for a thinner oil. I do believe 5w20 is obscenely thin, but it is "energy conserving".

    BIG TIME EMRGENCY...03 COBRA, HELP.

    ummmmm... these engines are pretty tight.... They DO call for a 5w20 oil from the factory.....that's a tight build. Mine didn't loosen up for about 1,000 miles......it actually getting faster the more miles I put on it. Change speeds frequently during break in and don't granny it, but I...

    Superchips Tuner or Predator

    My opinion (and it is an educated one) is that Superchips and SCT have the best stuff available. The superchips 1725 tuner has the best "out of the box" pulley program. If you want a flat out dynotuned custom, go to superchips custom (or one of their dealers). They can make a custom file and...

    BIG TIME EMRGENCY...03 COBRA, HELP.
