    What's the next step for power?

    Thanks again. I'm not 100% sure which heads to go with. I'm leaning towards AFR 165's or trickflow TW Street heads. I hear both are good and I've seen a lot of you guys using them and making around the kind of power I want to put down, which is at least 300rwhp. As for a cam, I don't want...

    What's the next step for power?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm probably not going to spend much more money on my car untill I get the heads and cam. I am probably going to upgrade the maf for future mods but that's about it. I already have 24# injectors being that it's a cobra and those should be plenty with what I'm looking...

    What's the next step for power?

    I don't want to risk using NOS on an engine with 73k that isn't built for it. I plan on keeping my car N/A, maybe a supercharger way down the road, but I doubt it. It would be fun to try thought. Thanks for the input.

    magnaflow and flowmaster

    If you aren't planning to upgrade the midpipe it won't really be that loud with either flowmaster or magnaflow. The flowmasters tend to be louder and sound like a mean 60's musclecar and the magna's sound like a cross between a musclecar and a ferrari but not nearly as loud as the flows.

    What's the next step for power?

    I am going to do a head and cam install and have my intake ported in the near future, but is there any other performance upgrade I can do for under $300 that would benefit what I already have done? Thanks for any suggestions

    car has mind of its own on highway

    Is the car only doing this on mostly rutted roads, or fairly nice even highway? I have the same problem on rutted roads and it is a workout to keep the car between the lines. It did this on my stock 255/45 tires and on my new 275/45 nitto drag radials. When I got the tires put on the mechanic...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    I just ordered a Mishimoto rad for $200 shipped. I am almost positive this is the problem judging by where I see the coolant. I am sick of adding coolant every weekend and I'm getting to the point where I'm just going to upgrade the system untill the problem is resolved. I have heard mostly good...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    Thanks for the info. I will probably end up replacing the overflow with a canton aluminum piece. That way I will know it won't leak again. I have a feeling my problem is in the radiator and will probably upgrade that as well. How are those Japanese Mishimoto radiators? I've seen some for good...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    Thanks, I have considered this to be the problem before, but I thought if it was cracked it would at least leak a few drops of coolant the entire week that I have it parked. I have to remember though that the car is 13 years old now and plastic pieces don't hold up forever. I usually only drive...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    The car passed all three of the pressure tests with no signs of leaks. They even ran the car for quite some some and said they couldn't get the car to drink any coolant. I believe the tests were done in colder weather for the exeption of one. I do see a tiny bit of coolant under the radiator...

    did you guys feel power difference with x pipe?

    An O/R H pipe was one of my first mods and I deffinately felt a big difference all across the power band and it sounded like a Mustang should. Out of all my mods I think this one was one of my biggest gains in power. Maybe the exhaust is a little more restrictive on the 5.0 cobras than the...

    Mysterious Coolant Loss

    For the last year I have been having a slow coolant leak and both the Ford dealer and I can't find out where it's coming from. It seems to be only leaking when the car is turned on and there is pressure in the system. At first the leak was only occuring in the winter and it wouldn't leak at all...

    Anyone using a MAC or C&L MAF on a 94-95 cobra?

    I just got a great deal on a MAC Maf and I couldn't pass it up. I know what you are probably thinking, MAC performance makes MAF's?! With this unit you reuse your stock electronics just like the C&L MAF. I know it will do nothing for me performance wise right now but I will be adding heads and a...

    New Problem, Water in the Oil

    I don't understand how your filter came loose all of a sudden, but this sounds like a blown head gasket to me. Did you pull the plugs and check to see if they are wet? As far as the leak in your radiator, I can't understand why that happened.

    Which head and cam combo for 95 cobra?

    Thanks a lot for the feedback guys it's a big help. I plan on getting a dyno tune for optimal performance as soon as I can after the cam and heads install. I try to do as much as I can on my own with my car and have learned a lot from doing things myself. The only thing I didn't do was my gears...

    crate engine questions

    I believe the crate engine he is talking about has aluminum heads and makes 345hp with the B cam, actually I know it does because I'm looking at the part number right now. So getting anything off an explorer would not be comparable to this. The B and E cam works for some 94-95's, but many have...

    has anyone raced a stock gsr?

    I agree get the 3.73's and you'll have no problem beating him, or even cheaper off-road h-pipe or x-pipe. That one one of my first mods and made a big sotp difference. It might not be as big of a difference with a GT but it woke up my car a little. Plus you can pick up a BBK H pipe for under...

    When is it time to replace O2 sensors?

    I have a little over 70k miles on my 95 cobra and I was wondering if you should replace the O2 sensors after a certain mileage interval or just wait untill you start to have problems. I am very anal about maintenance and want to keep the car in tip top shape. My car is running fine now, but I...

    Which head and cam combo for 95 cobra?

    Thanks. I heard you need at least 114 lobe separation for 94-95 mustangs computers to keep them running right and not stalling out. Some people with 94-95's can get away without this I guess. The only reason I want to keep the stock intake is because it's the first thing you see when you open...

    1999 cobra headers

    I would go with BBK ceramic coated 1 5/8 longtubes. They will give you more power than shorties, but they are harded to install. 1 3/4 might be overkill. JBA and SLP are a little better quality but I didn't see any listed for your year cobra. Mac headers might be o.k. too, but I gave up on that...
