    cobra vs cobra r brakes

    Just like these guys have said don't bother with the cobra R kit. The Cobra pbr brakes are more then fine. You will be amazed at out well the car will stop when you slam on the peddal.

    Help me build my engine from the ground up

    If you can honestly say you will NEVER add a blower then I would start off by getting a set of rods from the new 5.0. They drop right in and you can get a set for around $250. They are stronger then the rods that are currenlty in the car. I would keep the stock cast crank. You can pick up a set...

    quick question about SVE cobra brake kit

    I guess we can assume that you have a 96 to 04 car. With that said you do not need an master cylinder upgrade. You can actually install 00 cobra R brembos without an issue. The kit LRS offers is actually the exact same calipers that the cobra, mach1 used as they are made by PBR. Essentially...

    Which super charger???!??

    Could you provide some links to exactly what you are talking about? No I don't have a Centri anymore but my cousin is planning on putting one on some day (He already bought it) and I know he would be interested. Thanks.

    tokico front struts?

    I thought Tokicos had internal bump stops like Bilstiens. Call up your local dealer and see if they can still get the bump stops. I dont see why they wouldn't be able to.

    tokico front struts?

    If the car is bottuming out then it may not be the bushings. Believe it or not those struts may have died on you. If they are leaking oil then they are most likely toast. You can also do the fender test by pushing down sharply on the fender, if the front end pops back up and bounces then they...

    Which super charger???!??

    Honestly I would go with the used kb 2.6 if you know where its been so to speak. I say this because I got screwed over when I bought my 2.1 used. Regardless of what kb you go with look into re-locating the bypass valve as it will cause you issues when you up the boost and add cams. Yes the...

    Which super charger???!??

    Agreed. KB could have done more with the 2.1 and chose not to in an attempt to keep the cost down. There is NO reason that they could not have installed the cobra inlet on the 2.1. I say this because that's exactly what they did with the 2.6. The inlet for the 2.6 is the exact same manifold but...

    Which super charger???!??

    You have got your your info right regarding how each blower works and how it adds power. Both will keep your car driving like stock until you put your foot into it. I have DD my car with both blowers and never had one issue. It seems like I go through a tank faster with my KB then when I had...

    Updates and Issues

    Your problem is most likely the thermostat. You can check it by throwing it into a pot on the stove and boiling the water to see if it will open. If the previous owner did not maintain the car very well I would also do a full blow radiator flush on the car since you will be draining the system...

    Quick Advice on 04 GT

    If you end up buying the car talk them down at least 1500 if not 2000. I make it a point to NEVER pay sticker for a car.

    brake pad question

    The only thing you may notice is some squeeking at most. I have never used grease on my rear pads and have never had a problem. The fronts on the other hand are a different story.

    Problems after changing pads on 03' GT

    Why did you have to bleed the system? It sounds like you have air in the master cylinder. All you have to do to bleed it is put a hose on the bleed screw closest to the firewall and bleed it. Then do the same on the next screw.

    Distant Future Kenne Bell Plans

    Yes. You can't run more then about 7lbs of boost without one because the IAT's will be through the roof. The other things you want to consider is that if you don't get the intercooled kit then 1 it will cost you more to upgrade later 2 when you upgrade later then you are pretty much doing the...

    flywheel bolts pulled threads out of crankshaft???

    Are you sure they threads have been removed and its nut just thread locker on the bolts? The iron crank should be a lot stronger then the bolts so I would expect the bolts to get messed up first.
