What does it take our cars to run with 03 cobras

To run with a stock Terminator, not a whole lot. To run with a modified Terminator... let's talk about this new job of yours.
?
?
TFS H/c/i with 24 pound injectors and at least a 190 fuel pump will get a fox into the mid to upper 12's if you get traction of course Also you need 373 gears. That will beat a terminator. You already have a intake and injectors that is good enough so all you will need is a cam, gears, and some head work. Also, you will have the advantage of the the instant torque.

i beat my buddies 04 cobra with a kb 2.4 pushing 19psi from a 40mph roll. i had 331 pushing 6-7psi out of an S-trim, tko2, with 355 gears. did it 3 times all had the same outcome, me ahead by 3 cars. my car was pushing 462rwhp and 487rwtq.
Starting off with a good 600lb advantage makes it alot of fun. A decent HCI and low boost (6-8psi) Vortech will do very well against a mild bolt-on Cobra. More bolt-ons for the Cobra just put a smaller pulley on the vortech.
I have never had the pleasure of playing with a whipple or KB Term, but I am sure it would be a great race.:beer:

Damn, doesnt a kb 2.4 push close to 600rwhp on a cobra?
The job is called a turn around specialist. Basically I would work with a company that the benicia valero refinery contracts out that helps fix/repairs things.

a good nos kit
yeah, like 620rwhp or something. he got around me at about 125-130. i think KB Cobras run in the 10s. my cobra trapped 128-129 with a 5 speed, so i think that race came out about right. we started off in second gear and i would jump out in front right away and stay there until the top of 4th. when i shifted into 5th he would go by me.
it is what it is and their was about 20 people watching that race, so bsing here. ive race full bolt on Cobras with ported blowers and beaten them pretty bad. I lost to one 03 Cobra because of wheels spin and thats it. :beer:
I'd keep the 93. It's light weight is a big advantage over an 03/04......
To beat a pullied Termi all you need is 10 psi of boost and full exhaust.
You need a hell of a lot LESS power than we need to be the same quickness..
Terminators are a very heavy car... just don't split your block in half trying to get the big power numbers...
As bad-ass as those 5.0s are... the blocks tend to be a very real limiting factor. Don't get bit by that reality like so many others.
An aftermarket block(with decent heads and intake) + stroke or power adders in a Fox = DEADLY!!!:beer:

I can take most pullied Terminators in the quarter but I need a sixth gear for a top end run...
Just put in a Teminator motor like this guy in Chicago. :thumbsup:
That would be pretty much my dream car!!!
Pullied Terminators? LMFAO, I prefer twinscrew cars for a moderate challenge. :rockon:
Here's a video of me dragging a pullied Terminator. I even had time to get out of it and give him the old school fox body "light show". Ignore the comments, the video was made by a bitter Terminator owner. :lol:

That teal Termifox is SWEET. I'm not big on mod swaps into Fox cars, but a new school Cobra engine in an "old school" Cobra, man, that looks right at home for some reason.
