if youre gonna go that route, spend a few more grand and get a 03/04 cobra, its already SC'd and will be cheaper in the end, and its a far better platform to start out on, even if you wont be modding it for a long time.

400rwhp is the general concensus


there are lots of stock block cars out there running 420rwhp+, some say they're ticking time bombs, some say it's all in the tune

dude, it will be fine. get the p1 and get it moderately tuned and it will last, assuming you're gonna take good care of the car and don't boost too high

well bad news fellas, the mach1 sold today : ( but i guess that is a good thing...i have a sct xcal2 and when he tuned it (i paid for a dyno tune) he set the rev limiter to 6700...i usually shift my car when racing right at 6000 rpms....is that putting too much pressure on the engine?? if so, where should i shift??? i made up my mind...i'm going to be getting a p1 with a 3 core intercooler...when i get that, i will get it tuned. should i shift the car around 5600 or what??

ps. i do have really low mileage for a 2001...just went over 69,800 today...

like I stated in earlier post shift at 5800rpms the most and it could hold together for quite some time depending how much you race and how good the tuner is that works his magic on your car.
