    Steeda Irs G-Track

    I think steeda is ok.... but there are much better products out there IMO, especially for IRS. Maximum Motorsports > Steeda Get H&R Springs, Either super sport or Race with revalved race Bilstein in the front and Cobra R' bilsteins in the back and you will have a much better handling...

    Steeda Tri-Ax or Pro 5.0?

    I own a Tri-Ax, and have driven with a Pro-5.0. I would say the base of the Pro-5.0 is better than the Tri-Ax, enough that I regret not getting one. The Tri-Ax handle has a better angle hanle than the Pro-5.0 IMO, but I think both suck when compared to the MGW shifter handle, that thing is...

    Octane for 01 cobra

    Sure you can put regular or medium grade in it, as long you drive like granny, stay off the gas pedal, and don't care about damaging the engine long term. 9.85:1 Compression = Premium Only 92 octane and up and nothing less

    Does mystichrome have the same properties as 96 mystic? I know the 96 had the same "stuff" in it as what they use to make money, so they were real careful as to who got the stuff ($ counterfet prevention). But does that hold true of 04 mystichrome?

    Lowering springs?

    IMO H&R are the best. For good handeling, I would recommend staying away from progessive rate springs (eibach pro-kit), although the progressive rate spring do have a more cushy ride than the specifix/fixed rates. Whatever springs you get, you can get adjustable dampners to compliment them...

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    The port where the chip is installed has a finish on it. In order to put a chip in, you have to sand the finish down so the metal on the leads is exposed. Its not hard to see if someone has sanded that down. I recommend a PCM flash by the handful of UBER tuner that don't need a chip (unless...

    2003 Cobra making ticking noise

    FWIW, there was guy in the local cobra club that had the SAME EXACT problem. At first he took it to Ford due to the ticking head that everyone is talking about on the TSB. Ford went over his car and determined he had had a chip and voided the warranty. The guy got pissed and got a lawyer and...

    for road racing, I would go with 3.73s but I agree with RydeOn, put the blower on first, then worry about the gears.

    To Cobra owners in states that rquire front license plate

    The dealer usually drills the bumper and screws in the license plate holder, but if you don't have one already, I suggest you devise some sort of bracket that doesn't requires screwing up your bumper
