    Lots of newb questions. Long tubes, ECUs, etc.

    I tend to lean towards the Predator or SCT tools - reflashing is the way to go theses days. In the end, find a good reputable tuner, and let them recommend to you what they are best at. peace

    what exhaust set up in an 04 cobra

    You'll get lots of different answers to this, because everyone has different tastes. I personally love the stingers, with the stock H pipe. I do not like the exotic sound of the X's peace

    Ever since I put in 87 octane my 97 snake feels extra slow

    Eliminating the CEL will cancel the limp mode status peace

    Ever since I put in 87 octane my 97 snake feels extra slow

    If you had the lower octane fuel, you could have had detonation, and your knock sensors probably pulled the necesary timing. The CEL most likely put her in limp mode. peace

    Idling problems!

    Any codes (CEL's)? You could also have a MAF problem, maybe a leak somewhere. Could be Idle air control, or many other things. Id get it scanned for codes first, this can usually lead to clues. Try turning up your idle speed a bit by way of the idle screw. May get you by for a bit while you...

    Goodbye Cobra (Ford), Hello Z06!! Converted to Chevy!

    Trust me, the 03 would stand a chance. As far as picking a vette over a mustang? Nahh. Been there, done that. The vette was nice, but I didnt like not having a back seat #1, and #2, always felt like I had to babysit it wherever I went, kinda like it was one of my kids! PLus, it really wasnt...

    K&N filter on the 03 or 04 Cobra

    FIPK all the way. I did alot of research before going with it - it is hands down the best performer. Reason its so good, is when the hood is shut, the device is sealed from the engine temps, and pulls all the air in from the fender. I went out logging IAT temps one day with the predator. At...

    Just purchased an 04 Cobra Coupe

    I had built a 500+ rwhp 98 cobra last year. I spent over 10K getting everything just right, although i did nothing for the engine. I was looking at another $10K to do the forged Long block -I would have gone with VT engines Big bore motor. It got to the point where I was afraid to dtive the car...

    Check these stock Eaton #'s

    Very tempting...Do they in fact have a kit that adapts to the K and N? Or is this a rigged setup? Also, wouldnt a naws shot mess up the MAF electronics?? peace

    this car is starting to get to me

    seems ignition related to me - almost sounds like you're experiencing spark blowout. COntrary to popular belief, it can and does happen to N/A setups too. Something is weak in your ignition system. COuld be bad wires, or plugs. Hopefully you went back to stock coil packs? They are in fact the...

    Engine is shot

    Longblock will be full assembled - usually costs more but it is put together from the engine builder so its more of a turn-key setup. Do lots of research on a good 4V builder in your area. If there is none - then yank that sucker out and go with a VTengine longblock -Ive heard nothing but...

    Engine shutters and shakes at idle, CEL is on

    With the cel on, you'll be in limp mode so it will be sluggish no matter what. If you cant get it scanned, try resetting the battery, then drive it again. See how it drives before the CEL comes back on. Sometimes, bad gas can trigger a CEL (usually show a lean condition from one or both front...

    Whats My Car Worth Around Here?

    Say it isnt so! That car is sweet. I think you are going to lose money because of the nitrous. I would definately put it back to stock, detail it, then sell it. You will get much better $$ . Some kid may love the nitrous, but probably wont have the $$ and end up having to ask his parents for...
