the new guy, with some questions.

hey everyone. well i just picked up a 2003 svt cobra vert and love it!! im new to the whole cobra thing though and thought i could get some good answers from here with everyone. its modded pretty good, 60 lb injectors, fuel pumps, intake, ported eaton, all pullies including a 3.100 upper, 3.73 gears, twin disk, subframe connectors, roll bar, etc.. im currently running rich up top (the initial wack is a 11.0:1 and at around 5k its down to a 10.6:1 a/f ratio) thanks to my lm1 wideband. i am trying to get soem dyno time set up but was wondering how efficient my blower would be with a 2.760 or a 2.930 upper pully. i have both. im hoping for around 500rwhp after my tune on just pump and boost. am i asking for too much. also, upon start up sometimes, it will blow out some smoke (oil). i asked a buddy of mine with a kb 2.4 cobra and he said it is probably in need of a pre filter for the pcv system. sound about right to anyone? i went and ordered one anyways. the car was checked out by a FORD mechanic who said everything was in great condition including the motor. anyways, thanks to anyone who can chip in any info..

he gave me a bunch of stock parts, nad there area a couple of im guessing lower pullies? thanks for the imput on the smoke. i heard that it was common. i think it might be sitting around 425 rwhp right now cause of the crappy tune. my last car was a 97 eagle talon that i built up and was sitting at 340awhp, and i can tell it has alot more torque, but i fell it should have more "go".

well i know for a fact that it was detuned for the sale, ant it was running more boost and race gas at one point. that is what it was tunned for. i will measure them later and get back to you.

alright, just looked at it, the pully directly under the upper measures like 3.5inches, the one to the right of that, is like 3.75, and the idler pully is about 4 inches. also, is there a linky about how to operate an sct xcal tuner? i have one for the car. i dont think its the live wire model though.

ok, my bad, just checked it and it is stock. im going to get it tuned this weekend, just set up an appointment. is there anything i should know in general about these cars?

now thats what im talking about!! thanks for the linky!!!!
