    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I've only owned the car for a week and a half, and in that time it hasn't hit the limiter. I haven't even had it all the way to redline. I am not clear on why the ECU would be chipped. Isn't the tune uploaded to the ECU via a device like a Diablosport Predator? What would a chip do...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Yesterday my '04 Cobra stalled out on me several times and then finally would start but idle at 500rpm and die as soon as I touched the gas pedal. I was about 20 miles from home so I went to the nearest Ford dealership. They had the car towed there and got it looked at today. The first...

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    Ah, well that's cool. If I don't need a new tune, even better. Although I'll probably take the car to the dyno to get the AFR checked and measure its output. I didn't specifically ask Ed if I needed a tune if I had the blower ported--just asked about getting any new maps if necessary.

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    Yup, I sent him an email. He didn't specifically remember the car but said that he had last done a tune for it in either March or May (I forget which) of this year. He said those power numbers were about right with a car with those mods. I also asked him about the tunes he provides and he...

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    Turns out he also had a '98 Cobra that he had a T-trim on. That's what those parts were on. My Cobra has all of the parts on it as when it dynoed at 463rwhp, with the exception of the electric water pump. I have the dyno sheet and the list of mods that the ECU was programmed for. I'll post...

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    The one thing I thought was kinda strange was that he has sold two of the Accufab throttle bodies. I'm not sure why he'd have two of them. Both auctions received positive feedback nonetheless. Anyway, I'll find out about the car in just a few minutes. I flew out to pick it up and am...

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    I have read nothing but good things about the Stiegmeier work, so I'll probably send the blower off to them this spring once it gets to be motorcycle weather again. The Stage IV upgrade looks like what I'll go for. 50hp for $545 sounds like a deal. I have another question--based on the mods...

    Bought my first Cobra.. suggestions?

    The previous owner says the engine peaks at 14 lbs of boost but drops to around 11psi at redline. I'm guessing that a blower port job would give me enough air flow to keep 14psi all the way to redline. What do you guys think?

    Auxiliary input on '04 Cobra stock 6-disc?

    ALright, thanks guys. I might pick up a cheap FM modulator for the trip back, and then probably set up something like the Ipod mod.

    Auxiliary input on '04 Cobra stock 6-disc?

    I'm picking up an '04 Cobra this weekend, and then driving it 660 miles home. This is probably a dumb question, but I couldn't find the answer by searching. I'd like to hook up my MP3 player to the stock 6-disc head unit but wasn't sure if that was possible or, if it was, what kind of cable...

    I bought a Cobra on Ebay this weekend--picking it up next weekend. This is my first Cobra, so have a look and let me know if you have any comments or recommendations. Thanks...

    Bump.. in case anyone's got any more comments! :)

    Another couple of simpler questions: I know I'm going to need an adapter to be able to use the Lightning MAF with my 5.0 wiring harness. Muscle Motors has it, but it's rather pricey at $50. ( http://www.musclemotors.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1088&HS=1 ) I'll suck it up and...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    I spoke to Jegs about the coil issue, and they recommended the LX-91 as the LX-92 was described as being for primarily race applications. My car might see a few passes at the strip but will be almost completely a street car. The parts I've purchased so far are: Crane HI-6 Ignition System...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    Thanks for the continued help! I was trying to decide which coil to get--I'd seen the LX-92 mentioned as the recommended coil in an Ebay auction for the HI-6. But then while comparing prices at Jegs.com, I noticed that they actually recommend the LX-91 for "non-race" applications...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    If I buy a Crane HI-6 or an MSD 6A, do I need to buy a coil as well, or will the stock coil be sufficient? The coil is simply responsible for creating the spark and the distributor is responsible for getting that spark to the right cylinder, but what exactly does the 6A or the HI-6 do? Do...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    MSD 6A vs. 6AL.. according to Google, the only difference between the two is that the 6AL has a rev limiter option whereas the 6A doesn't. Is that pretty much correct? Also, I was doing some research about the SCT chip. Just to make sure we're on the same page, this is the part you guys...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    $250 seems a little pricey for that MAF kit, considering that the 90mm MAF by itself seems to go for under $100. Admittedly, it's got a cone filter (which I don't need) and an adapter plate (which I could probably find an alternative for cheaply) but that stuff doesn't seem worth a $150...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    A couple other questions: Should I get a wideband O2 sensor? (Is this something that a tuner would need to help tune the car or should I expect that a tuner already has a tailpipe sniffer with the dyno?) Should I get an exhaust gas temperature gauge? (I have a buddy who has some...

    Just bought an S-Trim--need help picking out supporting hardware.

    Alright, so a 90mm MAF it is. Do you guys have a link to the combo for $319? That sounds like a great price. As far as I understand it, the power pipe goes between the supercharger outlet and the throttle body, and is less restrictive than the stock piping. The MAF goes before the...
