Hey naz, my dyno tech(steve@ www.powertraindynamics.com) has an underated dyno, or a really, really conservative dyno. He says he's never seen much of a gain with LT OR shorty headers on these cars. I wonder if your car would show those numbers on his dynojet. The highest NA cobra he's ever seen is 320rwhp uncorrected. I dyno'd 311 uncorrected. He says headers have never shown any gains on his dyno. He is probably the best tuner in the country, next to MIKE WESLEY, of course. My car is a 99, no headers, no porting, no inner fender cold air kit. He dyno'd a 03 mach 1 with a full exhaust and all the bolt-ons at 295rwhp uncorrected. I was 16rwhp more than the MACH 1 with the same bolt-ons and tune. I have a feeling that your car would be lower on his dyno. If you ever get a chance, get your car dyno'd there, he's is the best in this part of the country. I'm telling you man, this guys dyno is a tough one. I'm curious what your numbers would be on his dyno. He also mentioned that my midrange power was more than the guy with 320 rwhp. No offense man, just my humble opinion.Nazman said:Lafear,
You may be right. I just hate to see these 99 vs. 01 deals. Yes, is true they have a few diferences here and there, the intake may be a tad better, the splines count, the seats, the CD player and the bumper....dont let me forget the polished rims option but they are the same. Then it came the coment about "power" and is not completly correct. Yes, we have some weak 99s but I have seen a bunch of "weak" 01s as well.
They are great cars, if the 01 still has some warranty and less milleage, if the $$ vs. $$ makes sense then the 01 is the better purchase.
and by the way......I dont think mine is a freakJust abnormal!

NAZ,thanx for the reply. The only reason I mentioned this to you was because, steve has tuned tons and tons of GT's and Cobra's. He is so experienced with these cars, that even FORD CONSULTS WITH HIM, honestly, that's the truth. I told him about you, and he said he's tuned thoasands of mustangs and never seen those numbers on a stock(bolt-on's) cobra. He also said that headers, LT'S or shorty's haver never shown much, if any gain on his dyno. The strongest cobra motor he's ever dyno'd was 320rwhp(uncorrected) stock bolt-on parts. But who knows, maybe you would be the first. If you ever get a chance, go to his shop and get it dyno'd.Nazman said:Underated dyno? You mean that it needs to be SERVICE and CALIBRATED?
Any ways, my car has been dynoed in several diferent dynos always displaying good numbers. By the way, just got the car re-dynoed over here in Germany yesterday, on another diferent dyno and it showed a nice 329RWHP, that was with NO COOL OFF just straigth from the road after a nice 1 hour drive (high speed driving).And this dyno (Manufacture by TAT Dynos who supplies Wheel Dynos to Big manufactures like BMW and Porshe over here in Germany) is rated about 8 RWHP LESS than a similar DYNO JET (this is based on hundrets of side by side compartions runs in CONTROL ENVIROMENTS) due to thier loading mechanism (similar to a Mustang Dyno but not as radical change in numbers). So, with that in mind it confirms the gain of o/a 4-5 RWHP provided from the WMS CAI/Pro-M 95mm CAI over the DS/Pro-80mm CAI. So, if we take that 8 HP diference then we will be looking at 337RWHP????
But you are very correct, I may not put down those numbers on your shop.

Also, what octane gas did you use when your car was dyno'd, this 91 octane california gas sucks.
DON'T MESS WITH THE U.S. God bless our U.S MILITARY.
