    Something Wrong? Throttle Body?

    Did you not read that replacing the stock unit can actually cause a loss of power and cause drivability problems? I'd seriously consider selling it and buying a more worthwhile mod.

    suggested mods?

    JLT just came out with a really good CAI, but you'd have to remove your strut tower brace. If you didn't want to do that, WMS makes a top-notch full velocity kit. A midpipe, CAI, longtubes, pulleys, etc.. shouldn't affect driveability.

    Cobra pricing?????

    1.) They didn't make the Mystichrome cobra in 2003. Only in 2004 and you're probably not going to get one for invoice. 2.) There are two leftover 2003's in a dealership near me selling for $28k and $29k. The more expensive one is the 10th anniversary cobra.

    Are cobras dangerous?

    Cobras are not dangerous. Inexperienced drivers behind the wheel are.

    What would it take to beat a corvette?

    1st and 2nd gear you'll beat him with an exhaust, gears, and a CAI. Just shut it down real quick or keep missing 3rd if you don't want your ego to fly by you in 3rd. I've hung dead even with c5's right until 3rd and it's like they spray a 50 shot. Kudos to the LS1/LS6 3rd gear! Wait.. did I...

    Nitto d/r's

    They aren't all that bad in the rain as long as you avoid standing water. They have a tendency to hydroplane over standing water more than a normal tire would. I've been caught in terrential (sp?) downpours without incident. Just drive like you normally would in the rain - slow and careful. Do...

    Is this nuts?

    With a bit of haggling, a leftover 2003 could be had for around $27k. I personally know of one on a local lot being advertised IN the dealership for $28k, brand spanking new.

    Test drove Cobra... Is stock shifter a short throw?

    Guys, around there is a redfire 2003 Cobra leftover; the dealer is asking 28k brand new. There is also a leftover 2003 anniversary for 29k. Way too much where you're looking! I'll pick it up and transport it for a small fee :D

    Something Wrong??? Dyno Results

    Guys, he ran on a Mustang dyno. Take it to the track to see if it's running right. The dyno game is all about numbers on different dynojets. If it's running strong (as in it feels strong), there probably isn't anything wrong with it.

    Throttle body??

    I've heard the densecharger is a very good CAI, performing just as well as the other non-metal CAI's. No one has done a CAI "shoot-out", testing JLT vs WMS vs Densecharger. You really have to go off of what you think works the best. In theory, the JLT should make the most power with the stock...

    Best Suspension Kits

    It depends on what you want to do with the car. Drag/Auto-X. Maximum Motorsports and Griggs are probably the 2 best for Mustang suspensions, at least for auto-x.

    Throttle body??

    http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=497493 There's one on a Mach 1. http://www.jlttruecoldair.com/Dyno%20Page.htm On a 1998 Cobra. It showed average torque gains of 20rwtq across the entire power band, not just peak numbers...

    Will 255/40/17 fit 95 cobra??

    95 Cobra R's have the 255 series tire as stock - the normal cobra's had 245/45/17. A 255/40/17 should fit with minimal buldging. I'd stick with a 245/45/17 on a 17x8.

    Throttle body??

    Yeah, ditch that BBK CAI for a good one and get a tune. Do not waste your money on a throttle body. The tune will make a positive difference.

    whats better long tube or shorty headers?

    Longtubes, hands down You will have a much more powerful powerband with the Longtubes. Reported peak gains have been somewhere around 15-20rwhp, and the area underneath the curve can show gains as much as 20-30rwp/rwtq. Shorties will provide peak numbers a bit short of longtubes but the...

    500hp from SLP

    Smells like a troll to me! How would he be jealous when you said nothing about how much power your car is making? You sound like a high school punk with daddy's budget. SLP = Street legal performance. They've been making parts for the camaro/firebird for quite some time. Similar to the...

    98 Cobra????

    The cobra will hold its value much better than the GT in the long run. The 4v's tend to really wake up with minor bolt-ons and respond really well to blowers and nitrous. I would trade the GT in a heartbeat. My father has a 2002 GT vert, automatic and if I had to choose between his and mine...

    15 inch on 97 cobra

    A 15x8 weld with a 5.5" BS will fit the back just fine.

    Shifter, gears, pulleys, full exhaust, slicks, blower, etc... In all honesty, i'd go with a shifter and 4.30's.
