    Oil from tailpipe..

    I would still put my money on break in, I remember both my new fords smelling like that. first my 2000 GT, and I remember my 02 exploder had that smell when it was new. Of course both of those had a 4.6 in it too so maybe it's just the engine, but everything is running like a top now...no smells.

    New Hypertech Programmer!

    That is a lot, but they made a lot on horsepower TV too... They made somewhere around 360 to the wheels on their stock 04 cobra then put one of those programmers in and made over 400 I want to say. So unless you KNOW they don't make that much power because you have a 03/04 cobra and that...

    One clunk on acceleration and then clunk when off? Manual Tranny

    I had that too on my 00GT, seems like common problem.

    Supercharger Question..

    dude, his has been posted soooo many times. No, your engine won't last as long as it should, but as long as your aren't way over 400rwp and a safe tune your engine should survive for a while.

    Free Tune?

    I dunno, I've always heard there isnt a whole lot to be gained by tuning a stock gt.

    Are there any other performance air filters besides K&N?

    I've heard it doesnt matter what you have(performance wise), the aftermarket ones just need to be cleaned instead of replaced like the stock paper ones.

    Looking at KB for a 98 Cobra..Any Info?

    Well, his ET can be attributed to his nice 60' I assure you has slick/suspension mods. Keep in mind the blowzilla is the bigger supercharger with the intercooler. The one for the 96-98 cobra is the smaller one, and does not include an intercooler. As stated above, this kit is not as well...

    Nitrous Nitrous And Nitrous

    You should check out that ZEX kit that guy posted above, ZEX seems to have many safety features and even though it's a wet kit, I'm pretty sure they are specifically engineered to avoid fuel puddling. This will also save you like $500.

    A Little 50 Shot In The 4v?

    well for about $750 bucks you could have your 75 shot, and be running low 12's... I'd do it.

    How do I make my 2v breathe like a 4v?

    Get a blower or get a mach, you are going to spend a lot on doing P&P, New Heads, Cams, blah blah and not have the feeling of the 4v, and not close to the power of a blower and you will be spending close to the same.

    Kenne-bell vs. head swap

    Yes, 1. Headswap= roughly $2000 + Nitrous $750 = $2750 round to $3000 installed, tuned, etc... 2. Kenne Bell kit= $3800 non intercooled, $4800 intercooled. not installed. The nitrous will put down probably slightly better horsepower numbers and definately better torque numbers.

    Kenne-bell vs. head swap

    Do the headswap and then get a 100 shot.

    H2O / Methanol Injection on N/A

    Cooler Air= Denser Charge= More fuel= More power Shouldn't matter if you are NA or Blown... the effects may be more exaggerated when Blown, but gains of 10-15hp seem resonable.

    How's This Look (suspension)

    I'd go with the bullit kit. I also live in the wonderful state of Louisiana and feel your pain in the pothole department.

    420 rwhp on a s-trim vs 420 rwhp on a novi2000, which has a better curve

    Why? I was about to go with the vortech considering it is smaller, and when thinking about turbos(which are essentially gas driven centri blowers) they usually produce better curves when they are smaller.

    Mid Pipe for Mach 1

    What are typical power gains for mid-pipes on an otherwise stock mach 1? Cat-backs on stock mach 1's? Just wondering if you slapped an off-road midpipe with the stock catback would the gains be about the same as a off-road and aftermarket cat-back.

    Looking at KB for a 98 Cobra..Any Info?

    I assume you are wondering which is better if both both were not intercooled. I would say vortech, because the centrifugal design is more efficient(at least I think it is more efficient then twin-screw)

    4.10's and a Blower

    I'm pretty sure funny cars and top fuel dragsters both have the same engines and drivetrain setup. They have neither an auto or a 2 speed, but rather a clutch and a rear end. The clutch slips off the line and fully locks up around half track.
