    1994 cobra quarter mile times..need feedback!!

    Not bad man but you should be a little faster. The 60' time is hurting you some. My brother's stock (all it had was a k&n actually) 95 cobra ran 14.1 i think once and 14.2s. I think his 60 was 2.0x on those runs on bfg street tires. Just work on shifting and getting your 60' down, and you...

    mercury mountaineer

    I believe the 5.0 that came in those is identical to the one that came in the explorers, so yeah i'm pretty sure it has gt40p heads and the intake is actually closer to the cobra (i think). I'm sure others will come in and confirm/refute this.

    Hey guys, My friend and I have begun the installation of the suspension components in my sig. The instructions to my lakewood 90/10s have confused us. It mentions nothing about it, but, on the back there is a picture of someone pouring 30cc of oil in the strut. Am i supposed to do this...

    I'd do 3.73s and subframe connectors. 50resto.com has subframes for 50 bucks, full with seat supports. I have a set but they're sitting here in my room, gotta get em welded up. If you have money after that shifter or start exhaust. -GM

    1st time at track did awful need help/advice

    You've got enough power for 12s! Just get the traction and weight under control. Consider mods like the aforementioned drag radials (i like my BFGs a lot), Upper and Lower control arms, drag struts and shocks, drag springs, remove the sway bar, all kinds of weight stuff (there's a thread going...

    95 Cobra: Gt40 or GT40p?

    My brother has a 95 cobra motor. I have a set of bbk longtubes for my car. Will my headers fit his car? He's got the original heads on it, me too. -GM p.s. even if they wont due to the year difference, does his motor have P heads or just the gt40?

    Losing oil AND coolant but no smoke?

    Ok so apparently the oil thing is fine for a high mileage car like mine (1 qt for 1500-2000 miles). I'll definitely start using a 50/50 mix. I guess i'll need to flush the system and then put 50/50 back in. I'll also check out the cap etc. Thanks a ton guys, at least i've got a lead on it! -GM

    Losing oil AND coolant but no smoke?

    After letting the car set overnight i went out this morning and checked the oil. So it was all drained to the bottom by the time i checked it. The oil level is right at the add mark. There is add(boxofmeshedlines)full and its right at the add line. So is that normal consumption? My...
