    96-98 Cobra HP question

    Are you talking about crank HP or at the wheels? Most 96-98 Cobras dyno between 255 - 260 HP at the wheels so that works out to 305 at the crank exactly what they are rated at from the factory.

    The new GT: Stupid Ford Dealers

    Couple of comments here. When the Ford GT was introduced the pricing was said to be around $150,000 to which a lot of ignorant guys were saying that who would pay that much money for just a "Ford" well look what's happening right now, people are actually paying $100,000 over MSRP to buy just a...

    Anyone with hurst or mac shifter

    I've had the Hurst Billet shifter in my Cobra for six years now and it's been excellent. No noise or vibrations and it shifts precisely and smoothly.As all the others it has stop bolts and you can adjust the preload to your liking. The other shifters on the market probably are just as good but...

    Answer to the noise and vibration for Cobras

    My Hurst Billet shifter is as quiet as the stock one and no vibrations as well. I may be wrong on this but it seems like the only people complaining about noise are the ones who have the Pro 5.0 or Steeda shifter.

    Run in with a DSM...

    Don't feel to bad. Sounds like his car was extensively modified compared to yours. The only perofrmance mod that you've got is the 4.10's, the mufflers and shifter really don't give you anything and since you were going from a roll the DR's are meaningless. Put on your LT's with the off road...

    1998 Cobras dyno/run better than 96-97

    I've been reading a lot of Mustang message boards in the last four years and I've seen guys with 96-97 Cobras dyno better than some guys with 98 so go figure. Some guys who are extremely involved with racing and tunning their cars say that yes the 98 have a different tune but it was just that...

    mufflers

    The stock catback on 96-98 Cobras is 2 1/4 not 2 1/2. I have magnaflow mufflers welded in my stock cat back pipes but I don't know if I gained any HP since I didn't dyno the car after the install, but the sound is great, I love it. Just a little louder than stock but when at WOT it screams and...

    Should I change mufflers?

    Well it is a little louder and different especially when you get on it, which is what I was looking for,something a bit louder than stock but not to the point of loosing my hearing after a while,but if you want something really loud go with magnaflow magnapacks.It all depends on how loud you...

    Should I change mufflers?

    Last year I had Magnaflows welded in my stock catback becasue I liked the factory tips.....don't like any of the aftermarket tips.....and I have no regrets. The car sounds amazing, at idle it's as quiet as stock but driving it around is like music to my ears,a little louder than stock but not a...

    97 cobra Looking for 12s

    The cooling issues that the 96's had has nothing to do with performance, 96 - 98 Cobra all run pretty much the same despite of the rumors running around. The 98's had supposedly a different tune to the computer but it did not run any better than the 96-97..... Ford just moved some parameters...

    Yeah you probably may have. I've been driving it as much as I could lately. There's seems to be alot of Mustangs around, I've seen another black Cobra coupe and vert as well. It would be nice if we all could get together and go for a cruise. Couple of years ago a bunch of us went down to Rock...

    How fast will this go top end?

    Like the other guys said the 4.10's will increase your top speed becasue the gears will put you in the power band where the engine can still pull. The top speed of a stock 96-98 Cobra with 3.27 gears is 153 MPH in 4th gear...in 5th you would actually go slower as you would fall out of the power...

    Ideas I have to make our 96-98 Cobras faster that I never really see mentioned

    My suggestion would be for you to go with FRPP cams and related parts and get an SSR intake manifold and a tune after that to tie it all together.

    is my wms intake installed right? *pics*

    Here's apicture of my WMS set up on my 96 Cobra, I also have the 87MM PRO-M and my car runs fine with it in the top position. I've heard that if your MAF is rotated that way it's becasue the car didn't run right with it in the normal 12 o'clock position and that's becasue the MAF wasn't...

    Muffler v. catback

    Last year I had a set of Magnaflows welded in my stock exhaust pipes not becasue I was cheap to buy the whole catback but becasue I liked the stock 2.75 inch exhaust tips, all the other tips on the available aftermarket catbacks are ugly so that's what turned me off of buying a set. Can't say...
