    PCM replacement - What are my options?

    I know there are 5 03/04 Cobra computer codes: YDHO,YDH1,QUD2,AMZ1 AND HSF0. I have an SCT Xcal2 handheld tuner with my stock tune and 3 other tunes on it. If I buy a PCM, do the computer codes need to match if I load my stock tune/other tune onto it with the handheld once I get it? Do I...

    Fuel pumps died - new pumps, crank/no start

    Hey guys, looooong time no see :) Fuel pumps died on the Cobra.. replaced the fuel pumps now she won't start. I'll paste what I had been keeping track of: Car started and died immediately, was very low on gas. Added fuel Uploaded tune via SCT XCal2 when car wouldn't start. Car would start...

    Hey guys, long time no see... looking for some advice.

    Hey guys, been awhile. Hope I see some familiar names around still. I still have the current mods in my sig, and am looking for advice. A few years ago, I had a cross-threaded plug (I think) in the rear passenger side (#4) and blew it out. I used a lock-n-stitch kit with an aluminum...

    Blew out a plug... no shops time-sert?

    Well I blew a plug out of #3. It looked like it was cross-threaded last time they were changed. So... now I need some thread repair done. No one I call has even heard of the time-sert kit, or the Full Torque Lock-N-Stitch. They all want to pull the head and helicoil it, which I'm not doing...

    Shift to 2nd gear... POP... help me figure this out...

    Hey guys... Got some brand new Hoosiers on the car today so took it for a few spins with my bud. It sounded like I had a slight exhaust leak since I got my X-pipe put on but I never thought much of it. Anyway, I floored it through first, shifted to 2nd, and as soon as I shifted into 2nd...

    Went to the track tonight. 1st time this yr & with stg V

    She has way more in her, I was playing with shift points and I definitely wasn't driving it to her full ability. Not only that, but my 60ft alone has mid 11's in it. Best 3 runs of the night: 1) 11.91@118, 1.8 60', 1/8th mile 7.72@92 2) 12.03@118, 1.9 60', 1/8th mile 7.8@92 3) 12.07@117...

    Add a lower or wait for more traction?

    This is the dilemma i'm in now... After the blower port, traction became a little more of an issue. However, my nittos when the port was done were about 25% life. Now that they are bald, the car is sitting. While I sit here waiting on tires, I'm considering just pulling the trigger and ordering...

    So anyway, a friend who happens to hate ford thinks his 99 firehawk...

    Would stomp all over a stock 03 cobra. He said basically that he wishes he could have raced me before I did any mods, because "now" I would kill him, but before his 99 firehawk would have stomped all over me. I tried to talk some sense into him, but he won't listen. I've tried to look up...

    Ordered up some brakes and tires :D

    Just put in an order for some 275 555's for the front, and 315 555R's for the back, as well as some ceramic hawk brakes. Can't wait :pepper: I hope the ceramics feel a little better than stock, that or I need braided lines because high speed stops my brakes just melt away. The fade on the...

    A few pics of my black cobra inserts - for those considering them

    I've seen quite a few people ask about black Cobra inserts, and since I have some but hadn't taken any pictures, I snapped a few pics. I'm a fan of Cobra inserts all the way, not a fan of the 125+ bucks some places want for them. Anyway, I got these off of ebay, they cost 3 dollars, and...

    Do I need headers??? Jump in...

    My mods are in sig. I was rompin on the car a bit today, and did some datalogging. While I was at my tuners he felt I was seeing a bit too much boost, and another guy at the shop who owned an 03 cobra awhile ago said he needed long tubes at like 450rwhp, which I had always heard the stock...

    Took the car out today and some last night since the Stg V

    :banana: ^^^^^ Right there. Wait. :pepper: ^^^^ There we go. I mean, a tornado-hurricane-ice-storm could not have wiped the goofy ass grin on my face. First gear, makes me lol . Second gear, if it hooks, hurts my belly. I finally found some open road and gave her a few 3-4...

    My Stg V ported numbers

    Hey guys, figured I'd post up the numbers. I'm at work and don't have the sheets, but they are pretty convoluted anyway. They have 5-6 parameters on each printout, rpm/boost/tq/hp/af/spd It was a good time, and I found out some interesting info. My numbers went to 482 RWHP / 485...

    Pulled over this morning

    Half asleep driving to work I look up just in time to see myself flying through a redlight. Cop is opposite of me waiting at light , and there's someone waiting to go on the right. He busted a Uturn before I could get a 1/8 mile away. Lol Like I was going anywhere in my 180,000 mile...
