    Thermostat benefit ?

    Cobra90GT - thanks for the links, they entertained me for 30 minutes or more :) There are some that look closely to the same glowing color as the 03cobra gauges... I wonder if anyone here has added gauges to their 03/04 cobras???

    My personal review of the Magnaflow cat-back!

    It was county fair time in my neck of the woods. I was told countless times that my snake sounded mean, but not obnoxious (sp). My snake is quite the head turning machine :)

    Which radiator did you get, steeda has two on their site... They also have an oil cooler and a 7qt oil pan... a drop of 75 degrees in the engine oil.... I think these are the tickets to cooler engines... is it enough to matter?

    How many miles for break in

    500 miles and change the oil. As hard as it was, I didn't slam the gas to the floor until this 500 mile oil change was done. Even then, don't dog the crap out of it... but after 8500 miles, my best gas milage was achieved and I consider that the break in point.

    cooling tips for these hot motors???

    I left the black grills on the vents, I just took the solid plastic backing off. Nice point about the paint cracking, I didn't think of that. I will get that back on right away. I thought it was to help put out a fire, not shield the paint. I think I will start researching a chip to buy so...
