    Normal engine operating temperature

    Ironic that I posted a thread about engine temps and over heating. Saturday when I posted this thread, was the first day that I picked up the car after being worked on and tuned by a local shop. Long story short; I drove the car home about 30 miles after test driving it with the mechanic who...

    Procharger power pipe

    Hi Rick, The IAT is in the last intercooler pipe about 16" away from the throttle body. Procharger has a bung welded into the IC tubing for this sensor.

    Normal engine operating temperature

    Yeah that's what I am concerned about, is knowing about the threshold for an aluminum head, vs the engine temperature. I haven't really gotten into heavy boost yet, and am wondering how warm this car will get once I start hitting 10, 11psi or so. Thanks for the reply.

    Normal engine operating temperature

    Hi all, I feel like an amateur asking this question, however it's been years since I've been in the car realm, and am trying to get back up to speed. Anyways, I wanted to verify what a normal motor operating temperature would be for in-town/stop-and-go traffic? Currently, I've noticed...

    DGR Performance in Dillsburg

    Hello, Does anyone know if DGR performance ( Formally Kauffman's and SGS auto ) is still in business? I've been trying to get a hold of these guys for about a week via email and phone, with no such luck. Just wondering.

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Right now I'm seeing about 11-12psi by 6200rpm. I'll have to verify the fuel pressure as well. I would *think* with the Superflow dyno and it's ability to apply load via an eddy brake, that detonation would have been detected, which obviously is a concern of mine. The rest of the fuel system...

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    I would love to have Jimmy retune my car, but he's out of the business now, as far as I'm aware. There is a place in Dillsburg PA that I've been looking at who has a good reputation for tuning mustangs in general. They're formally Kauffman's Performance, and are now called DGR performance: DGR...

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Don't have the dyno sheet in hand, but here is the bottom line: Made 510rwhp @ 6200rpm on about 11lbs of boost on the Superflow dyno. Car is running a conservative 11:2 A/F ratio, with a total of 24 degrees timing. I feel the timing was a little aggressive, however, the tuner mentioned I was...

    Stock Tach Sticks

    I have the same issue. I think the real fix is to replace the cluster, as there is most likely a circuit issue within the tach cluster. JMO

    Procharger power pipe

    I agree. It does look pretty good and fairly non-restrictive. It certainly beats the heck outta the stock conical filter which gets smashed against the AC lines.

    Procharger power pipe

    Anyone using the AFM Procharger power pipe for the P1/D1 head units? Looks like a fairly nonrestrictive piece which could yield a decent gain for the price, particularly if a hood is actually a cowl hood with the opening at the rear. 13. Forced Induction Power Pipe®

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Thanks. I should know more tomorrow if there are any updates on the tune. I'm due to pick it up as well, but with all of the heavy rain we're due to receive in Maryland, I think I will wait a few days. I'm also considering to take the car to a Dynojet facility just to get some base line...

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Update: the car was strapped to the dyno on Friday but isn't entirely finished with the tune. The tuner apparently had some issues with the cobra J4J1 computer, and took nearly all day to get it to where it is. :shrug: I will have more numbers hopefully on Tuesday afternoon/evening when it is...

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Thanks for helping to set expectations. I just dropped off the 7" crank pulley to replace the 6.75". Hoping this allows the car to see another 2-3lbs of boost, and also help the boost come on quicker.

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    :D Yep, so it's a Comp Cams roller, with Crane 1.6 rockers. Here are a few specs: Lift: .574 intake, .545 Exhaust Adv duration: 274 intake, 285 exhaust Lobe sep: 114.0 We should only be revving the motor to 6500rpm, if I don't get too much belt slip on the 6 rib procharger setup. Will be...

    95 cobra: 331/AFR/procharger going to dyno

    Hi all, Finally dropped my 95 cobra off to a local tuner on a flatbed last weekend for initial start up, as well as completing a dyno tune with an SCT chip: Maryland Performance Center Car should be dynoed early to mid next week. Wanted to get opinions of what this car might see on the dyno...

    keeping rodents out of garage??

    Others are correct, in that you need to find out how they're getting in, and resolve this issue first. Also mentioned, keep food sources/trash or anything they may like away from the garage. I had a very similar problem where mice housed themselves in my car, in the trunk, glove box, under the...

    Just posted this on Northeast as well: Hi all- Its been a while since I've posted here. In any case, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Maryland Performance center in Frederick Md. I'm thinking of having some motor work done there, and would like some feedback regarding...
