Attempted to get duals today...
- Thread starter echo7
- Start date
I think the best way to experience the sound of a car via the net is to take a vid of the car on the dyno. This way you can hear the car under load and through a wide range of RPM. Here’s a link to a vid of my Cobra on the dyno (not trying to hijack the thread just wanted to post an example).
Dyno Vid - 8mb
Another technique I’ve used is to stick the microphone outside of the car. I ran the microphone wire through the trunk and placed the mic below the license plate. I used a piece of foam to cover the mic. This should help reduce the sound of the wind buffeting the mic. You may have to adjust the record levels; this is easier with a co-pilot.

What Blower do you have?
I have a 2003 Cobra. It's the stock Eaton blower with the stock pulley. I also have a K&N FIPK intake and Borla Stinger cat-back with the stock h-pipe. You should hear one of these Cobras with a smaller pulley. They really whine.
I really want to see one of the new V6's with a blower

Also, me and fazm83 are working out a deal to borrow his gtech, since he has a GT single exhuast, only difference would be his is manual. Why do i have to be the only one with an automatic?(and to think ford charged me $1000 for it too
) Anyways, this would show where i stand against him, then it would be very beneficial if you got it MSP before you did any more modding, because even if the gtech isnt accurate, it will still show difference between our cars, and who's mods are the best
hey dont worry, I have an automatic as well!!
This thread is incredible!!

I will admit, I didnt even know of the existance of this particular Mustang... I didnt know Ford had produced it.. WOW!!
I have a question for you, or anyone who can answer it.. I will like to go with a Blower like this, or a Twin-Screw.. Or maybe this is a Twin-Screw, allthough looking on the Eaton Website, they appear to be single screw.. Not sure.. However, Will I be able to find one similar that will bolt onto my V6? Also, the price of this type of blower is alot less than the Paxton or Vortec type.. Which means, thats what I want.. You know, to make sure I can complete this project, and also remain happily married.. LOL!!
Duner, I have seen other dyno videos before, but its just something about a Black Cobra sounding like yours, is driving me nuts... I will, on my oath to my life long love, the Ford Mustang get my V6 Blown.. I promise all of you.. It will be a subject of intense discussion sometime in the future..
Back to the question though, do they make your type of Blower for a V6?
@ALL
In this post, describes my ulterior motive behind my purchase of the V6 Mustang over the GT.. When choosing between the 2 while at the dealership, this was the vision that had overwhelmed me in the end.. To GT or not to GT was the question.. To have a very unique Mustang was the goal.. To seperate myself from the crowd, was my desire in the end.. This is my dream of the "Ultimate Mustang".. Of course, the 2006 Cobra is up to this point going to be the "Supreme Mustang" in the end.. However, I have chosen a different path.. I am reminded of my young fascination and love for the Mustang SVO when I was only 16 years old.. The 1986 Mustang SVO captivated me for a number of years.. Numerous tears and fights with my mother sealed the fate of the 1986 Mustang SVO, so I had to settle for the 1984 GT350 in highschool.. Perhaps if I had gotten a few more A's in school, would my dream have been brought to light.. But it wasn't to be.. I was forced to settle..
But 2005 has brought me a 2nd chance.. A chance to quench the thrist of the young boy whose one wish was to drive the "Ultmate Mustang" in his eyes.. I am half way there.. The 2005 Mustang has awakened that 16 year old child again.. Now he is in control of his own destiny.. It is a destiny that must be completed.. It is a destiny, that in the end, can not escape from me this time.. It is cornered, and will submit to me in the end......."Blown"!!
@ALL
Dont blame me for this obsession.. I was born in 1970!.... In 1967, my father bought a Brand New 1967 GT Mustang Windviel Blue, with the FogLamps and all.. So before I was even conceived unto this world, my fate and destiny had already been cast.. The dice was thrown.. I am left to suffer for all of eternity as a Mustang fanatic.. LOL!!
Actually, it was Acapulco Blue!! And it was a 67, and not 68.. Sorry!! Time has a way fading childhood memories!
This one..

Also, my mothers father, or my GrandFather was a manager at the SanJose Ford facility.. This was actually in Milpitas, Ca.. Which is actually where I still live..
F - Assembly Plant (F=Dearborn, R=San Jose, T=Metuchen)..
So my Grandfather used his employee discount to help my dad get the GT!!
I have 40 series and defintily silver.
