    Buying an 04 Cobra in the next three weeks...

    Vic s here! Check out the MAy issue of Mustang Enthusiast magazine (out now). It breaks my car down mod by mod, run by run. I stumbled across the article at the track (Orlando) yesterday at Fun Ford Weekend, and snagged 10 or so copies. They were supposed to let me know when my mug was...

    CEL after installing x pipe

    MIL eliminators suck........that is unless you want to replace them every six months. You need a custom program wiht the rear cat monitors turned OFF.

    '01 vs '03 Cobra Gas Mileage???

    The 01 will get better mileage. The 03 still isn't too bad. Who gives a crap about mileage anyway?

    Diable chip flash??

    You will need a few bolt on parts with a custom tune to make that kind of power. I do NOT recommend the predator if you want to do this.....get a custom tune done on a dyno.

    What happened to all of the old threads?

    That's just it...... The page selector isn't there anymore. The config must have changed on it's own or something......dunno

    What happened to all of the old threads?

    There are only 22 threads total? There was a lot of good info in past threads and some stuff I was following up on. What's the deal?

    Best Air Filter/Intake Setup on O3 Cobra?

    birch.....which pulley? a 2.8 upper with correct tuning will make 440ish on a superflow dyno on an otherwise stock 03. I say 440ish becuase I've seen as low as 425 and as high as 450. Dynojet numbers are a different story.......It may make 460 on a dynojet.

    SVT vs STI

    Yeah, who DOES give a crap about stock cars? If an STi wants to run with me, he better be on the nozzle =o) What's he gonna do when he runs out? Of course two can play that game....... =o) Ever see a pulleyed 03 on the dry nozzle and a good tune? There are more than a few out ther...

    Disable stock '03 cobra shift light

    The programmer does not void warranty. Hence the reason it is a programmer and not a chip. It can be set back to stock (checksum and everything) at anytime.

    Disable stock '03 cobra shift light

    Because unplugging the bulb doesn't give you any HP! Get a chip or superchips programmer.

    Best Air Filter/Intake Setup on O3 Cobra?

    The point I'm trying to make is that the 6 Lb lower doesn't make 6 lbs! I saw one with an 8 lb lower...holy steering wheel! I don't want to spin that big thing!

    Best Air Filter/Intake Setup on O3 Cobra?

    If you say so...... It's not like I tune these things or anything ;o) A 2.8 upper won't slip if you have the correct tensioner/belt etup. A 2.7 or smaller may (probably will) slip, or a 2.8 with a lower pulley in addition, but a 2.8 upper alone will not slip if done correctly. All...

    Anyone who tunes, wants to tune or is interested should read this

    The A/F would be where it needs to be provided the calibrator who tuned the car did his job. If Ihad a KB or whipple, I wouldn't even consider the stock mass air. A scan tool will tell you MAF voltage and some data acquisition programs will show mass air counts. An NGS scan tool will work...

    RPM launch????

    03 cobra half shafts broke

    Again. I strongly recommend that little stuff like this be fixed yourself. 2 years from now if you pop a motor......and you've had NO claims so far.... They might have to think you haven't been killing the car and give you the benefit of the doubt. If they replace 3 1/2 shafts, tranny...

    part of the answer to a very good question

    Shoot me a PM and I'll tell you. =o) Regarding WOT runs, I should elaborate: My entire emphasis is not only at WOT.....I do a SUBSTANTIAL amount of part-throttle testing....part throttle is just as important as WOT. Tuning is done through extensive testing at many different...

    Best Air Filter/Intake Setup on O3 Cobra?

    Milkowich...get the long cone and you should hit 120 more consistently. Raw Lifter....I've tested the lower pulley. It just plain sucks compared to the 2.8 upper. I have a 2.8 upper (JDM) with 100mm tensioners to replace the stock 90's and a gates belt. This has been on the car since early...

    03 cobra half shafts broke

    Yeah....usually they break when the driver tries to power through wheel hop.....if this is the case, it's no ones fault but the drivers. I've also seen cases where repeated wheel hop has weakened them and caused them to finally break on a hard 1-2 shift. There are plenty of 03 reachng and...

    Best Air Filter/Intake Setup on O3 Cobra?

    The JDM (13" is it?) cone seems to make the best power. Installation takes 10 minutes and can be put back to stock anytime.I wouldn't bother with a drop in, or a through the fender CAI. You gotta do a 2.8 upper pulley on that thing! It would be a sin not to! It can be done in a manner that...
