My cobra is awake!!!

cobrasvtcoupe25 · Jan 8, 2008

I installed the diablo Predator chip this morning and wow

Worth the money for sure.

The stock tune seem very restrictive compared to the Performance tune once I installed it. Plus I can here my intake a lot more

One more mod on the cobra and a lot more to go... hahaha

Any idea as to the power gains?

I don't know?

Maybe somebody can tell us????

I'm thinking 12 rwhp or something around that area. After driving the tune for a day I realized I need to do some suspension upgrades soon. Haha

Get some 4.10's and the your cobra will really come alive.

Someday I will. That's what my project goal is, but I plan on getting the cobra ready for it first. I'm talking about Suspension work because after I put the tune on I was spinning the tires more.

The diablo will be get to reset the speedo for 4.10's though

You just need to learn how to drive your cobra with the tune The 4.10's is not going to help if you spin the tires

I really need a pair of sub frame connectors badamnit:

fobra559 · Jan 9, 2008

Once you get that done, then get the 4.10's:damnit: lol.

Gears are a must for a first mod along with a shifter. You just have to learn to drive better. Even with suspension you can still spin the tires with those gears.

I agree with you, but that stock IRS of mine also hops bad under hard lanuches. I have a feeling that if I put 4.10's in and go to the track I'll bust my 28 spline axles through wheel hope off the line

cobrasvtcoupe25 · Jan 9, 2008

I have a name of axle breaker at the track from my last car the Integra.

No bueno

Anyone see the Horse Power TV show on Saturday? I know it was an 03 Cobra, but DAMN! With no,0,nada, not a single other mod a Hypertech with no provisions for custom tuning gave the car 43 rwhp!!! After that they swaped to a 3" pullie and only gained another 6hp and then anothe 12hp when they put on the 2.98 or 2.93 I forgot which. Sorry a little off topoic but that is an unbelievable gain for JUST a tune with all factory hardware

Yeah I know and we install a CAI, it's good for 5-8hp on our n/a cars while the terminators gain around 25+hp. I swear, I'm going to get my hands on one later on They respond so well to simple mods. I'm jealous.

The guy who installed my gears just got a 03 cobra and installing his whipple this weekend. He's going to be in the 10's for sure. He's looking to swap his IRS for a solid axle because the wheel hop sucks from the IRS.

I had 4.10's in my 99 cobra. You just have to learn how to control it. An IRS brace and better bushings help.

Dude, PM me if he wants to! I have a solid 8.8 with fresh Trac-Loc and 3.73s and new seals. I would drive mine to him and pick his up.

Sorry mods: if this violates please just erase instead of locking Thanks
