    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    Thinking about gettin an 01-02 or 03 cobra, got some questions...

    The stock clutch holds up pretty well up to about 450rwhp. After that, it's overpowered and will slip. A SPEC II clutch runs about $300 and it's no different to change than any other Mustang clutch so get a quote from your local shop. The best site I've found for Cobra info is...

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    Hate to break it to ya but they will indeed take the time to look for evidence of a chip. It's happened to a lot of people already. The engine warranty on this car is voided at any and all dealerships across the country. The head will not be replaced under warranty. Just curious 5.0's 4...

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    If the engine/powertrain warranty really is voided on this car (which it is), Ford won't fix it. When buying a used car, ask for an Oasis report. The report gives the warranty repair history of the car.

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    Do not take it in with the chip (and pulley I assume). The TSB is NOT a recall. It's something that occurs on "some" cars, but not all. Some dealerships will look for any excuse to not honor the warranty and a chipped car is a darn good excuse in their eyes.

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    Was the car ticking when you bought it? Some folks have had luck getting the head replaced with mods, some have not. Good luck.

    whose cobra is this?

    The stock pistons don't seem to be handling the heat this motor generates at higher horsepower levels. I am not the only one who has seen this first hand. :nonono: As for the 1000hp...well maybe the crank and the block will handle it. Our stock fuel pumps are maxed at around 550rwhp because...

    whose cobra is this?

    How much power are you looking for? I have 55lb injectors, hardened halfshafts from The Driveshaft Shop and a Spec II clutch. 600rwhp maxed my fuel pumps and melted pistons. Next mods are: Focus fuel pumps, balanced/blueprinted shortblock with CP 17cc pistons, valve job on both heads and a...

    First 700 Rwhp Cobra!!!!

    Do you have the A/F graph for that dyno run? What fuel pumps were you using? Stock MAF? What's with the big drop and jagged lines between 5000-5500rpm? The numbers are impressive, but it's one thing to get good readings on a dyno and still have the car hold up under harsh daily driving...

    Diablo Chip and 03 cobra??

    The chip can be reburnt. There are a lot of vendors to choose from for the reburn. It may or may not work with your car as it is. Regardless, make sure you get your pullied/chipped car on a dyno and check the air/fuel before romping on it! You may want to open the gap on those plugs to .035-038...

    whose cobra is this?

    Those lines are for the Horsepower by Heramn oil return kit. The KB has a tendency to spew oil out the snout under boost. The oil kit prevents that and returns all the oil to the blower where it belongs.
