    timing retard for superchargers?

    With your 99 cobra - you will need a custom chip burned on a dyno to be safe. Do not try to monkey around with an msd box for the newer cars! Those are good for the 5.0's but not for any 96+ car - there are too man other variables and sensors that work in conjunction together. To answer your...

    04 Cobra 1st mod

    I would get myself over to svtperformance.com - specifically to the terminator forums. Huge amounts of information there on the 03/04's. Stangnet is great, but for the new cobra's - you cant beat that site for the info. From the research I have done, the KnN FIPK Gen 2 kit out-performs all...

    IMRC's sticking???? How can you tell?

    Try reaching your hand under the back side of the intake, and rev it up beyond 3200 - you should see and feel the cables on both sides move. Least then you know the computer is telling it to move. They could still be gunked up though peace

    Does a 2004 Cobra have a beak-in period?

    I can only tell you what Ive read over on svtperformance. I have read that the 03/04's have boost restricted for the first few key cycles. I cannot confirm because mine had 200 miles on it when purchased. peace

    sc info please help

    D1SC has a curved impeller. Has a HUGE and I mean huge top end charge. Also, it flows more cfm than the P1SC. The DOHC's seem to respond much better with the D1's. You can check out this chart for more info. Even though the numbers on the chart arent a huge difference, trust me it is. I gained...

    sc info please help

    I know it wasnt one of your choices - but IMO, the D1SC is a much better buy than the P1SC. Might as well spend the few extra from the start. D1SC is an animal, get the largest pulley if you want low boost - but what room to grow this blower will leave you with. I know of many people (including...

    Borla Stingers are BadA$$ - but why did a flame shoot out??

    I dont think the K and N leaned me out, but I have a feeling the exhaust may have. Maybe its me, but it seems seat-of-the-pants wise that I lost some low end power. Maybe it needs more fuel down low now because it wants to make more HP, but cant because of the factory tune. Im wondering if a...

    Borla Stingers are BadA$$ - but why did a flame shoot out??

    thx for the insightful information - welcome to Stangnet to you as well... redfire03 - I have not gotten an A/F check yet, I may do so this weekend. That will determine if i buy the predator or not. peace

    Borla Stingers are BadA$$ - but why did a flame shoot out??

    I still have the factory H pipe - I think Im going to stick with it too. I didnt like the x pipe sound on my 98. Anyways, it seems to be gurgling ALL the time on decel, not just in the upper rpm range. Just normal cruising, let off to coast - and it gurgles . Sounds completely awesome mind you...

    Borla Stingers are BadA$$ - but why did a flame shoot out??

    Hey 03/04 pro's - I put my Stinger catback on today, gotta say I love the quality and the sound is amazing! I reved it up a bit, and my son said a flame shot out when I let off! Anyone have any ideas why? I did not reset my computer yet by the way, but I will later peace

    MAF....my last bolt on

    Its a completely worthless mod unless you're going for over 400rw as mentioned above. Over that hp, you will peg your stock MAF. Leaning out your A/F is a foolish thing to do. peace

    98 s/c or 03 cobra

    Thats funny, I had heard that the stock bottom end on 03/04 motors could take up to 700rwhp due to its forging. My 98 was pushing 500rw on the stock block, but I know I was flirting with disaster too. Reason I opted to get out of that car was because I didnt want the headache of doing the...

    Lean or Rich

    No ticking on mine - my build date was april of 03 so I believe I am after that ticking head issue. 03yellow - something is wrong if exhaust leaned out your a/f. Was the weather different on your original dial-in? On stock factory program, Maf should keep A/F's constant - unless of course...

    thinkin about sellin the cobra for a corvette

    I think performance wise you will be happy, but there are things I really hated about my Vette. Visibility is really poor trying to drive them, only 2 seats so you cant take the kids with you, and I always felt nervous taking it anywhere - so it became more of a chore. The cobra is a little less...

    Bassani, Mac, Borla, magnaflow, ect., lets settle this once and for all!

    I think what some people are saying, is the desired combo would be X pipe/straight through - or - H-pipe/2-chambered. When you alter those combo's, they can sound a little strange. To hurley711 - they both flow similiarly. X pipe's tend to net higher hp at max rev's, lower torque - while H...

    Lean or Rich

    Changing exhaust should not affect your A/F ratio. With more air flowing, the MAF should compensate by adjusting fuel - therefore maintaining the desired A/F. Messing with MAF's are usually what alter that ratio (usually leaning her out) - which makes people THINK that aftermarket MAF's yield...

    03/04 Overdriving Crank Pulley Information needed

    Thats good stuff U.M. Only thing about your theory of the upper pulley being the way to go though is you're promoting belt slippage. Leaving your upper pulley alone has its benefits imo. True, you will spin your accessories faster with a larger lower, but is that necessarily bad thing? Water...
