[QUOTE="Ciotti, post: 7340320, member: 38456"] It began in Feb. of 2006 when I bought my 1996 Cobra convertible from a buddy of mine for $5,500 with 111,000 miles on the clock. It was filthy but had a bunch of decent mods installed... BBK Intake and catless H pipe, Flowmaster exhaust, 3.73 rear gears, big dumb tach, Cobra R wheels, and a styling bar with third brake light. The convertible top was in bad shape with 10 or so tears throughout covered with duct tape. That didn't bother me though since I got such a good deal on the car, I just put the top down wherever I went. The car hadn't been washed in quite some time but fortunately the dirt formed a protective barrier under which the paint was actually in decent shape. After a quick wash it looked oh so much better...

(Right click and Save Target As) [url=http://www.njaoc.net/media/Karz/Videos/COBRA.mov]http://www.njaoc.net/media/Karz/Videos/COBRA.mov[/url] The check engine light bulb had been pulled at some point in it's life and when I got it hooked up to a computer there were quite a few codes that needed tending to. Most of them were fixed with a fresh set of FRPP plug wires, 764 plugs, and fuel filter. The search for more power had begun, I first turned to the BBK intake which is known to be awful as it is chrome and heats up like a "mo fo" as evidenced by the nasty burn I got from touching it after running the car down the track a few times. [IMG]http://www.ciottiindustries.com/gallery/Cobras/7.%20The%20Death%20Eater/Powertrain/Install1.jpg[/img] I decided to shorten the amount of pipe between the air filter and throttle body to get a bit crisper throttle response so I went with a WMS ceramic coated (to keep the heat out) intake pipe and mated it up with the biggest dam conical filter I could fit in there... [IMG]http://www.ciottiindustries.com/gallery/Cobras/7.%20The%20Death%20Eater/Powertrain/Intake3.jpg[/img] The difference in throttle response was fantastic and it felt a tiny bit quicker up top. Next the alternator started flaking out so it was replaced by a black powdercoated PA Performance unit...
