I don't think it would make that much of a difference on the cobra.

Yeah, the cobra has some AWESOME 3:08's in it. It can't get off the line but you can cruise the freeway at 80 at 1400 rpms..​

OK, so I picked up the brand new TFS Street Heat intake today for $250. Really good deal. The intake is gorgeous but it has a problem. It talks. Yep, I was in the garage tonight and I hear it say "pssst. Hey, buddy, put me on that nice red Cobra...." I'm like "noooo can do, I'm keeping that cobra stock." It then says " I have new gaaaaaskettttssss..." I'm like "shut up! Shut up!" These damn car parts........ I'm sure the intake is gonna talk to the 3:73's tonight while I'm at work and they will gang up in me tomorrow. Hopefully this doesn't get out of hand.........

Yeah, because now you have to figure out how to get 3 sets of bucket seats into it.

So...

How much did you pay for a few resistors, a rocker switch, and an LED?

All that does is fool the PCM with altered MAF readings, a couple of resistors from Radio Shack would've been cheaper.

Those sort of "Day 2 mods" are becoming quite collectible.

I've seen the old school Ford EEC breakout boxes go for decent cash

I have this....





I am pretty sure this is used to convert Speed density to mass air,. It sandwiches between the ecu and the main harness. Only thing missing is the 4 wire harness that goes to the mass air meter.
