OK, after 11 years, putting the final piece of the puzzle onto my '01 Cobra motor - the '03 Eaton supercharger. I could use some guidance about getting a good ECU that I can tune for my many mods.
I have 98 GT, but converted the drivetrain to an '01 Cobra via a crate motor right from Ford. (They were giving them away 12 years ago, once the '03 supercharged motors came along.) Yes, it was a nightmare, because I had to change every wiring harness in the car and the ECU, radio, seats, cluster, T45 tranny...oy. So much for plug and play - everything changed in '99. Thank god for Missouri Mustang is all I can say.
Anyway, I have some mods coming into this stock '03 Cobra Eaton upgrade. Forged crank, Manley H-beam rods, JT forged pistons (dished for lowered compression ratio), high volume fuel pump, Lincoln Navigator heads (for the bigger exhaust valves), long tube headers, Magnaflow 3" H-pipe and Cat back. The Eaton set up I bought is coming off a stock '03 Cobra, and includes everything I need, soup to nuts, except the ECU & MAF. I assume that the stock '03 ECU & MAF not be sufficient (or wise) for this set up and probably won't even plug into my '01 harness anyway. I want to maximize my ponies. So I could use some guidance on the best set up to get this thing tuned. Any help out there? I know they have programmable ECUs, chips, etc. but I could use some guidance. Thanks.
