How to tell if a 99 Cobra had the "Optional Recal" done?

Call 1-800-FORD-SVT and give them your VIN and they'll tell you if the 'fix' was done or not...

Some people say there's a green dot on the intake somewhere too, but it's just as easy to make the phone call...

Sounds like you have the basics of "the fix" covered. Next thing to do would be a visual check of the above mentioned items. Check out TXsnakecharmer 's webpage for further info, he has a link on there describing what to specifically look for:

You can also run your VIN# by the folks at SVT (1-800-FORD-SVT, during normal business hours) to confirm if "the fix" was performed on your '99.

A dyno would still be a good idea, to give yourself a reference point (or baseline figure) to work with before adding mods.

G'luck!
