    Mobil 1 0w20 in a 2000 GT

    I use 15W50 Mobil 1. It says on the back it is designed for muscle car applications as well as turbo'd and supercharged cars. Is this too heavy??

    Did I get a good deal?

    Ok so I finally bought a Cobra for myself. The link is http://www.paraelfuturo.com/cobra/cobra.htm I did not pay $9,000 because I paid cash. I paid $7,500!!! Since I bought it, I installed a 160 degree thermostat, and MSD wires. I plan on adding the MSD coil packs, BBK complete to Throttle Body...

    SILENT RECALL ON 03 Cobras???!!!

    So I was talking to someone who had one of the first 10 03 Cobras and they were from NJ, but moved to San Antonio. They had 78,550 miles on it because they made trips back and forth. They said at 60,000 miles the left head gasket assembly blew and Ford replaced it. Does anyone have any more info...

    Glowing exhaust!!!???

    My friends have been telling me they see flames or glowing coming from my exhaust when Im shifting at high rpms. I can hear it gurgle when Im shifting, almost like a backfiring sound, but not quite. Its like that backpressure sound from a real throaty exhaust. The only intake/exhaust mods are...

    Need help HOPPIN up my 98 COBRA

    On my 97 Snake I have a Mac cold air, off road H, Magnaflow Magnapack catback, a 5.0 shifter, a Spec stage I clutch, and a 160* thermostat. It pulls great and is loud as all hell. In fact its so loud that no one ever messes with me. I would recommend an off road H or X depending on the sound you...

    lose horsepower with h-pipe

    As far as Im aware you dont lose power at all. I actually felt the power in every off road H I have installed. I have one on order for my 1997 Pacific Green Cobra. So far on my old 96 GT and Bullitt, it helps. I'd say they are a 15-20 hp increase. How would you lose power taking out restrictive...

    Can't beat LT1

    I beat an auto LT1 that had 90K miles with my pacific Green GT before I totalled it. We raced 4 times to make shure, and I won every time. Now I dont see how you aren't pulling on him since you have PI heads and 4.10 gears. Maybe too much tire spin. I say if you can launch with as little tire...

    Mods for my 1996 5 speed mustang GT

    I say ditch the Throttle body. It will save you $200 and you will barely see the hp on a dyno, let alone feel it at all. Most people with your mods get about 2 more hp from a throttle body. Use the $200 and get a Timing Adjuster or some pullies (or at least a mod you will feel for $200). Now 1/4...

    # of cats on a stock 97 Cobra???

    OK so I bought a 97 pacific Green Cobra today and when I looked under the car, the H pipe had only 4 cats. I know for shure the stock 96-98 GTs have 6 cats and the stock 99+ GTs have 4 cats. Is it the same rule for Cobras? Do the stock 96-98 Cobras come with 6 or 4 cats from the factory? Thanks...

    03 Cobra cold air on Bullitt??

    Does the 03 Cobra UPR cold air intake work on the Bullitt? I know both cars have the twin throttle body design, but would it work? Any extra hoses on the 03 that the Bullitt doesn't have and vice versa? Thanks-David

    Off road H voids warranty???

    Ok I have an 01 Bullitt that Im about to take in for some warranty work. Feels like the tranny mount is loose or bad. Hopefully not bad on a 12K mile car. I dont think the guy before me ran it hard cause he was in his late 50s and bought the car cause he remembered when the movie came out. There...

    Cold Air Worthless?

    On its own I wouldnt do it. But buy yourself a Mac off road H for $120 and get the Mac CAI for like $180 and you'll feel and hear both. Esentially those were the only 2 real mods I had on my 96GT and that prolly netted me somewhere around 25-30 crank HP for both of them. The H gives you low end...

    Mods needed to beat a G35

    Quote:Are we talking a g35 coupe or sedan? Coupe. :D let me restate that I didnt completely smoke him in my 96GT. When we left the stop sign it was pretty even. Then my favorite gear(2nd) allowed me to pull him slightly. He was on my back bumper then we hit about 70 or so and I quit. It was a...

    Mods needed to beat a G35

    Yes. Let me clarify. I was in my 96GT. I know for shure the Bullitt would spank them. But I smoked a manual G35 and thats why Im so surprised. I mean I consider myself a decent driver, but no Mario Andretti. I have also smoked LT-1s in my 96GT. Maybe its a factory freak. :shrug:

    Mods needed to beat a G35

    I guess I didnt mean they had a problem. What I meant to say is they were a fair challenge. Like the Bullitts dont totally crush them. Anyway I dont think of my 96 as being that fast so I was just wondering what was going on.

    Mods needed to beat a G35

    OK so I already beat an Infiniti G35, and I didnt think anything of it till I was on imboc.com and they were saying that their Bullitts were barely beating G35s. I do have a King Cobra clutch and that accounts for A LOT of my pull. The King Cobra grabs so hard it threw my motor mounts and...

    Bullitt Buying Bullit

    I just bought a Bullitt today and the Bank appraised it at close to $18,000. It is DHG I forget the #, but the rims are painted DHG to match :D It has the six disc changer and it only has 12K miles. I wont say what I bought it for, but I bought it because it was a good deal and I plan to...
