Dyno Disapointment:-(~

Track Masters just did my 1st Dyno on the stock 03 Cobra. (Huntsville AL) Arthur Wang did me up.

Max outputs were a bit short of my expectations. Remember she is stock with 18K miles.

RWHP 350.78
RWTQ 340.13

Fuel/Air mis was very rich?

I wonder what to do now to git 400+ HP and TQ?

K&N FIPK is on the way. Nothing else orderd yet.

P.S. He's emailing me the curve/spec sheet

I'll post the sheet as soon as he emails me. Shouldn't take too long. The curves are pretty flat but The Air Mix was ultra rich according to the Dyno dude, with highs of 15.5 falling off the chart as the r's rose. I'll post the chart soonest.

I finally got the DynoJet results for my '03 STOCK Cobra. Particulars 5:37 pm, 7/12/04. 98% humidity, 97 degrees F.
They have the little DynoJet at TrackMasters.
This is a stock 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra with 18,096 miles we bought 3 weeks ago for an UN-Cobra like price. This horse's been run hard and put away wet by somebody else far too often.
When I got her the Tires were amost square (no joke), she had one out of round wheel, the oil was burnt, trans fluid was burnt, the shifter would not got into any gear without physical force, and worst of all they smoked inside her

Since this dyno we have fixed her up with new tires Pirelli PZeroNero
Filters K& N FIPK2 and Fram Oil
lubricants, Royal Purple 5-20 Oil and Max ATF.
Flowmaster Exhaust is on order (hope it arrives before next Dyno Day)
And she has been washed inside and out 12 times

You sure have had some fine cars

My dad was pretty much a Ford/Lincoln guy and he bough new cars every year or two. He had some really cool one’s too including a ’66 Continental with the suicide doors, ’68 Shelby (yes it was his first) 1968 or ‘69 ‘Cuda with a ‘426 HEMI, and a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am 455 4-spd among others. Even my sister has had a few cool one’s but never a Cobra. I am the first in the family with one of these baby’s.

Need Exhaust now.

That heat & humidity couldn't of helped with your #'s. THe K&N FIPK & an exhaust might help lean your car out a bit also.
