    finally ditched the bar

    Don't know why I didn't do this months ago, but got board of reading posts tonight, went downstairs for a 1/2 hour and the bar is history. I am going to a track rental tomorrow if the rain holds out so lets see if I can get into the 1.6x's consistently! Next week I am stuffing some air bags into...

    lebanon valley wednesday nite

    Just in case everybody is not aware, there is no LVD test-N-tune tonight, July 13 because Monster trucks are at the speedway. There is a rental Friday, which is $70 for all the hot laps your car can handle. I am thinking about playing hooky from work this week if the weather improves, but...

    A/F now trimmed to 12.0-11.9

    I think I'm done tweaking my tune, finally :banana: I have had the same tune for the last three trips to the track and I am sure now I have the A/F where I want it for my current setup. I'll be still watching it like a hawk but I don't think I want it any thinner. Not sure how much power I...

    03/04 Cobra vs. STi

    but have you driven both aggresively? I think the consensus of the guys have have driven both, or have owned both, the Terminator leaves the better lasting impression, but it all depends on what you want out of a car. I think guys who have owned Mustangs and earlier model Cobra's are even...

    My First SVT. . . . What Do You Think?

    Black is classic, what I wanted anyway, nice ride but the fun only begins at purchase, wait until you start daydreaming about all your "projects" and then follow through and do some modding. :cheers:

    lebanon valley wednesday nite

    those are the special nights, where it is raining in Albany and/or it is raining in Pittsfield, but dry for most or all the night in the "Valley". Unlimited runs for anybody and everybody that is brave enough to show up. I got drenched the week before so I was Balk..Balk..Squalk...

    Finally replaced pulley bearings

    looked for the post where a guy had discovered the rpmouthouse pulleys come with some cheapsheit bearings to give him a thanks, but couldn't find it. Well I have a set of four I bought before I wised up, here is the bearing from japan that came in them (not sealed, completely the wrong...

    lebanon valley wednesday nite

    I had to take one for the team this week, if I had shown up, it would have rained for sure, as it was it rained in all directions around there and at my house, so I worked on my car instead. Weds might not be in my future, you might have to stop over Sundays to watch me bracket race like this...

    03/04 Power / Safety

    not without upgrading both your fuel delivery and your MAF, that might just be a KB BAP and a MAF extender, or in some cases you might need different injectors and upgraded fuel lines and rails. I met I guy from svtsnake (Long Island) at our track a couple of weeks back and all he had was a 2.93...

    if you have been to the track on Weds nights, I have been to about half of them, other wise I am from the opposite corner of Rensselaer County, north of troy.

    lebanon valley wednesday nite

    need to work on the car before next Sunday and my first foray into Heavy Eliminator so maybe for once it won't rain, because I'm not there, I'll take one for the team. Check out the pictures I took this weekend in the other thread I started. Some great wheelie pictures, suitable for wallpapers...

    03 Clutch recommendation??

    For 600 hp? Ram powergrip HD T (26 tooth) + Ram balanced flywheel + Liberty 26 tooth input shaft upgrade. Better than a Spec Stage 3. Very streetable, but make no mistake it is a full competition clutch, unlike CF clutches that are a compromise. Something you won't be able to burn up very...

    Stock `03 Cobra 1/4 mile times

    Keep up the good work, how much air were you running in the rears when it was hopping? sometimes, not always, lowering the air pressure to around 24 lbs can mitigate the hop, just don't forget to put some back in before the ride home. You got the right idea, if you start hopping, just swallow...

    Got Some Detonation Going On.

    along the same lines, you are talking about your terminator right? I get cornfuzed with all these sig cars :confused: it should pull timing to prevent that, unless the IAT sensors are not working properly (plugged back in?), are you sure you didn't get some crappy, low octane gas? did you...

    03 Cobra HP estimate

    you could do all that, but you don't need to, if all you want to do is beat a near stock vette, go to the track and practice, you already have plenty car to smoke him. Most vette drivers suck, at least the ones I have seen at the track. sure there is always the guy with the cammed thumper, DR's...

    Stock `03 Cobra 1/4 mile times

    not bad for first time at the track, you dun good. If you got the bug now and learn how to feather it off the line with those stock F1's you can get it in the 12's with practice. The quicker you get the street tires to squeak when they bite, the lower the ET's you will see. For me that meant...

    Cold Air Sensor

    why would you want to fool the computer, it is trying to keep you from F'ing up your engine! You start beating a heat soaked engine with an invalid IAT temp and you will get detonation, spark blowout or worse. Just like slapping on some intakes with a reconfigured MAF, the computer gets fooled...
