THE COBRA

[J5.0]

Not to bad Jim. I don't think you saw more than 3-4 pounds of boost while you were driving either. And we should see atleast 8lbs total.
Should be plenty fun with another 4-5lbs and being able to rev it over 4500rpm @ WOT instead of this 1/2 to 3/4 throttle stuff.
I'll keep in touch with the dyno info

12's here I come! Now I need some 10.5's and 315 DR on the back! She's not tuned yet but I drove it and its wild! Jesse took me for a spin and warned me about the clutch (its either on or off) chirps the tires and grabs hard. This is gonna be fun to play with next year. I'll be able to drive it some this fall before snow but that's OK cause it's ALIVE! It was fun trying to drive it when the idle hangs at 2000 rpm and the clutch just doesn't slip at all. She's gonna be wicked at the Hat next year. I gonna figure about a 12.6 for now but there will be a lot more left in her. NOW SHE'S THE LITTLE RED ROCKET!

Sweet man! Glad to hear the beast lives, can't wait to see/hear it .

Thanks guys I hope to be driving her soon, can't wait to hear the numbers she puts down. I'm hoping for 400 plus to the ground, we'll see.

UPDATE!!! Just got the call and Jesse says she made 415 rwhp tonite! A/F ratio was 10-11 in the midrange and about 11-1 on the top end. We think I only have about 15 horse or so to go and then it's time for BIGGER injectors and a better fuel setup! I can do that during the winter.

Yes, she is running very rich in the mid and top end, so there is some power to be had there. The tune was just a "safe baseline tune" nothing special.
Matt says the last cobra made about 430rwhp and the fuel injectors were done.(42lbers) This thing is only seeing 8psi boost and Matt says reving pretty high.(6700-6800rpm) I guess we'll see what she does tonight
I would like it if we can get her tuned the way it stands and make about 430-450rwhp but i guess we will see


Dyno #'s are on a MD250 mustang dyno at The Mustang Shop.

Weird I guess I thought that the Matt we were talking about was the same guy, My mistake. Anywho, whats with the 430-450 now I thought you were saying that I wouldn't get 450? So is it looking like I'm gonna get 450? Any who I'm working on getting some time off next week to come get her, can't wait guy!

Well... the car picked up some power in the top end but not alot, the tune wasn't to bad on the top end i guess, Matt got the fuel where he wanted it and she seems pretty happy now.
You thought she pulled in the mid-range before Jim, wait till you drive it now
The car is making good power but is only seeing 7.5-8lbs and ended up with 400+ rwhp.
I think we need 60lber's and a D1 upgrade and MORE BOOST!!!!

Should be fun JIM

[Lil'_Red_Rocket]

Jesse, how much? 420? 430? Or did ya give it a 'safe' tune to break her in until the pulley upgrade? Anway I'm planning on coming up Tuesday if I can. Can't wait to get her home!!

 

[TweekedGT]

Awesome! Guess what????? They added another weekend at our track for Oct 14 and 15 http://www.mhdra.com/Board/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=7&TopicID=1324&PagePosition=1
If you feel she's broken in enough you could possibly make a race this year .

 

[Lil'_Red_Rocket]

Hmmm, could do that. I'm gonna be puttin on some miles this coming week if I can. I'll be working that weekend but I could make the Friday nite fun nite to run a number or two. I'll be seein ya sometime soon around the Hat!

 

[TweekedGT]

They aren't having a Friday night fun night for this one, just Saturday and Sunday. I can't wait to see that baby around town, glad you got her back. You've got a sweet ride man, I love that car.

 

[Lil'_Red_Rocket]

WTF, what the hell? -sheeite- I guess I'm out of luck this year. You will be seein me around thou as much as I can get out for!!

 

[Lil'_Red_Rocket]

Well, I'm going to go get her tomorrow. Hopefully It'll be nice out here in the Hat and I'll get some cruising in.




Oh, and she made 435 rwhp, on the dyno at the Mustang Shop in Calgary! So, now she'll need a fuel setup and a pulley or D-1 to come ALIVE!!!!

 

[TweekedGT]

Sooooooooooo.... how does she run!

 

[Lil'_Red_Rocket]

Man, I love cruising with 4 and a quarter to the ground. Some retard with the sideways hat and his little *** car buzzed me so's I smoked him with the red rocket with no sweat. Man, I wish these guys would figure out that the lope means you better have something other than VTEC on your side I have to admit that the dumps are EXTREMELY LOUD AND I'M HAVING A HARD TIME HEARING. Ha but they sound sooo good! It's cool to have traction problems at the top end of the first 3 gears . I'm on vacation for a couple of days before Thanksgiving, we sould meet up. I still gotta put on some easy miles on her but I can play a little.

 

[5literttop]

Awesome!! Sounds like fun!

Awesome!!!! I love all the rice rockets around here, they are sad. I'd love to see that wagon of yours. If you're around Flint stop by, i'm just in my office playing solitare .
