    03/04 Cobra Heat Exchanger (who has one?)

    Yes, and this cools the IAT after boost. This usually will result in more power and of course safer boost. When you do the math and see how much pulley upgrades raise your afterboost IAT, a heat exchanger upgrade is a no brainer with a pulley swap. I'll have to look into Gords unit.

    Headers/Cats hitting ground with springs installed?

    I'm pissed at kook. I'm too pissed to type my reasons again, but if you really would like to see check out my post on the modular depot forum.

    Just ordered an 04 Competition Orange Cobra

    terry: A dynojet is not a "big bucks" dyno. It's an inexpensive dyno, and that is who so many tuners have them. They literally cost less than 1/2 of what Superflow or Mustang dyno costs. They are good for comparison, but not good for showing actual power and offer no load simulation. Most...

    Headers/Cats hitting ground with springs installed?

    My kook LT's are pretty close to the ground with the stock springs. I'm thinking about getting H&R springs, which lowers the fron 1.5" and the rear 1.6" Has anyone had a problem with smacking speedbumps or uneven pavement..... I don't want to dent up my LT's and I don't want to have to...

    kook headers install

    Thanks... My dig camera died while installing mine and the article needs to have some pictures of installation. You'll love this: Our superflow banner we are about to put up says: "Superflow...The lie detector! Vic

    kook headers install

    Does anyone have pictures of their kook header installation in an 03 Cobra? They would need to be taken with at least a 2.1 megapixel camera and it must be kook headers..... thanks, Vic

    car cover questions

    I recommend a cover that has a FLANNEL underside. The noah, Evolution 4,etc...etc.... scratch the paint over time. I use to co-own a detail shop, and the only thing we used was the Wolf "cotton-flannel" cover. It's a beige denim-like cotton on the outside and is surprisingly waterproof and...

    03/04 Cobra Heat Exchanger (who has one?)

    I'm nearly sure I'm going with the PHP (Pauls's High Performance) unit. JDM makes a nice one, but I don't want to cut into the bumper to fit it. Supposedly the PHP unit uses the existing brackets and does not require cutting. Has anyone actually seen (on a scan tool) a major differenece in...

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    These things are noisy as hell. Everyone thinks they have "the tick" These things all tick to a degree. If you have the tick, you will know it and so will anyone within 50 yards =o) If the #7 is fine, leave it be. Headers, h-pipe and catback helps cover up that noisy ass engine =o)

    03 Cobra kook long tubes leaking

    Do you really want to taint your numbers like that? Then again.....I could get you a "real" tune and make some real power =o) If you do a calculation off our dyno and go to the track, the MPH reflects the #'s we get. Hop on a dynojet, go to the track and you're off by a couple MPH...

    Just ordered an 04 Competition Orange Cobra

    Soapbox... LOL I love this guy..... (Vic steps on the soapbox) The reason I say this is that Dynojets don't show "real" HP and the SAE corrections are all whacked out. Your car might make 480 on a dynojet, but on a "real" dyno (Superflow, Mustang) it will show 450 or 460. There are a...

    03 Cobra kook long tubes leaking

    U.M. I made sure to use the metal gaskets at the heads, with locking hardware. If it leaked there I'd go insane..... The gaskets after the collector are also ok. I wish that was the problem.... BTW.....get outtahere with those dynojet #'s! =o) With the dynojet correction I'm making...

    Just ordered an 04 Competition Orange Cobra

    No complaints here.....and I'm pretty picky. I still believe my 300zxTT was a "better" car...better built, etc... But this 03 is pretty badass and I can't wait to get some H&R springs on it with a few other chassis goodies. 11 seconds sure beats the Z that barely broke the 12's =o) The Z...

    03 Cobra kook long tubes leaking

    I'm seriously thinking about pulling the collector off, jamming it with JBweld, then hammering it back on with a block of wood again. If there is one thing I can't tolerate, it's an exhaust leak. Vic

    03 Cobra kook long tubes leaking

    The long tube install went ok and it DOES make great power, despite rumors that they don't work. I'm having a problem with a leak at the flange....where the 4 individual tubes slide into the collector. The exhaust sounds great, but the leak sounds like crap and I'm having trouble chasing it...

    Odometer problem/Rev limiter

    Odometer? Do you realize the odometer does not dipsplay RPM? It displays MILEAGE. The Tachometer displays RPM.

    Just ordered an 04 Competition Orange Cobra

    I got the chrome rims too. A and D plan allow you to buy a new 04 Cobra for $31,500 +/-$200 Anyone at a daler who says this is not true is lying. My local dealer will sell 04 Cobras at A-plan A/D plan is for Ford employees and their immediate family only, in-laws are the only exception...
