    To cobra clone or not?

    i agree with redline and the others about the badges. i just received my saleen kit from saleen, but i have no intentions on badging it as a saleen or getting the windshield banner as i find that cheesy as well. but i do like the cobra badges, esp. the one in the grill. before i order my...

    New to the game and want to play...advice??

    if it were me, id forget about the twin turbo (too much pipe and alot harder to setup) and just do a single one. and the 351 would be a lot better than a 302. no replacement for displacement. lol even with the PA. chad

    no power, takes forever to rev up in gear

    thanks for the pic. i will go test that and see. do u think maybe my injectors could be clogged? would that cause the loss of power? i mean i removed them from my fuel rail and sat them on the work bench. maybe sawdust or dirt got in them? i wiped them clean before i installed them
