    03 cobra production numbers

    With 13000 units, where's the exclusivity? Seems like SVT is selling out. I like having one of 163 cars built. I hope they don't up the numbers for the 04 run even more.

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    My car dynoed 292 rwhp SAE right out of the box. No air filter or anything. I have tons of dyno runs and the car was just strong out of the box. Ive raced 2 Machs in my heavy vert, and both got taken to school. I'm not exactly stock, but enough to make up for the weight difference. Matt

    Need Help: Burning Oil and Compression Test Results

    When running a compression test on my car the results varied from 190-215. Anything in that range is considered normal. I puff a little oil after letting it run for a while and shutting it down. Starting it up belches out a little blue smoke (oil). I believe some oil is dripping past the...

    99 cobra with 4.10s not pleased?

    Yes, I have stock internals. I will be running a 8lb pulley with powerpipe so I should see 8-9lbs after the IC. I ran nitrous on this motor earlier so I really dont want to push my luck. When I did my compression test I got 185-215 for all of them. So l/ts do have a tendency to draw oil. I...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    The Mach I is just Ford putting the same parts in a different arrangement. I'm just getting tired of putting new parts on the Cobra, and then quickly placing them on a GT or V6 the next year. (ie 01 wheels ----> GT and 01 hood ----> V6) Had to swap out both my wheels and hood once I heard...

    Front Pads Replaced

    I run Semi-Metallic pads from Autozone. They run about $35 and have a lifetime warranty. I wore out a set already, just brought them in, and got a new set for free. They bite pretty hard, but after a couple of panic stops they start to fade. I'm saying like 135--->0 stops. The fade is slight...

    99 cobra with 4.10s not pleased?

    Here's a link to the Corral gear ratio calc. http://www.corral.net/tech/gearcalc.html There difference won't be that substatial, at least not justifying the swap again. I have 4.10s and wouldn't put anything else. Should be spinfest with the blower, but just gotta feather it. At 80 mph...

    Cobra Vortech WEIRD NOISES?!?!

    It may be detonation. You should definitely have it checked out on a dyno. If it is detonating you can be kissing that engine goodbye. 75k is not alot of miles on a N/A engine, but the blower will definitely take its toll. Did the owner say how long it has been on? I hope my engine lasts to...

    Supercharged Decal

    Anyone know where I can buy one of those SUPERCHARGED decals? I have a Cobra R hood on my car and wouldn't mind putting one on each side of the cowl. Thanks. Matt EDIT: Im referring to the metal ones.

    Cobra Vortech WEIRD NOISES?!?!

    Yes, the blower will whine quite a bit. It should quiet down off idle and then make some more noise as you get up in the RPMs. Please explain where the oil build up is more specifically and that'll help diagnose the problem. Does the tapping sound like rocks rattling in a can? Or is it...

    20" rim probs on an 01 cobra?

    Please, do not put 20s on a Cobra. Besides the spinfest and the extra weight, they will rub on every turn. On top of that you will have to worry about tire width. The rear IRS bolt usually rubs tire, but in your case......it may rub rim. I run a 275 on stock 01 rims and come about an inch away...

    Recommend Clutch!!!

    I have a SPEC stage II and definitely plan on replacing it with the same come time. I don't believe it is necessary to baby the clutch at first. I actually reved it slightly higher to break in without chatter. Got 12,000 miles on it now and feels great. Don't know how well its going to stand...

    Cobra's in the snow

    As everyone has stated, there is no way you will be able to drive the Cobra with SNOW CHAINS. That part of the manual should be ripped out and discarded. I can bearly get the car moving on wet grass, let alone an inch of snow. It has spent only one night at the bottom of the driveway cause of...

    Which MAF for 12psi of boost?

    The LMaf will definitely be pegged. Another vote for Pro-M Univ.

    INteresting dyno proof about how 03 Cobras respond to mods-

    Also, the fluids in the tranny and diff. are warming up. This allows more power to the ground.

    Best bolt-ons for LOW-END power on a 4v

    2nd the gears. There really isn't a large variety of mods available for the low end. Unless you go with a Roots blower :D, but I'm done with waiting for KB.

    Clutch Pedal Chatter

    I have the Steeda quadrant and adjuster. It doesn't really help the vibration. It will just let you adjust the pedal so that it always has a little additional tension. Matt

    Clutch Pedal Chatter

    I also had the chatter. It was quite bad when i started at low RPMs early on. Had to rev a little higher to avoid the chatter until it was good and broken in. Sometimes it'll vibe the pedal slightly, comes and goes for me. Pulling up on the pedal should help too. Matt

    Injector change on 99+ Cobra

    The gasket is reusable and it is necessary to remove the plenum to get access to both fuel rails. Matt
