I was told that computer can compensate and re-tune is not neccessary with header install? I am sure a re-tune would help just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how did it run before re-tune? I just installed Pypes LTs and is running ok but not what I was hoping for...maybe takes time...

Anyone know if the R uses a regular Mustang pump in the fuel cell? Mine is going lean on the dyno...(due to pressure drop) Thanks in advance...

Changed my oil yesterday and was going to put 6.7 Qts. in as the owners manual addendum states, but it showed full after 5 Qts? Any info/advice appreciated... :shrug:

Dynoed my 95R yesterday, for anyone that's interested: 297hp, 365 torque. Modifications are: Bassani X-pipe with cats, magnaflow mufflers, and cold air intake in the fender. Next step is a box upper intake to hopefully add some horsepower at the expense of some torque. At the drag strip...

I wanted more sound for my 95(and perhaps more power), put on a catback from Magnaflow. It hits the rear swaybar, is too close to the fuel cell, tips are too big, so I will probably remove the tailpipes and go with dumps for now, but was wondering what others have tried and had success with...

Ran twice from second gear roll, with me pulling 1-2 cars in third and fourth. Was even until mid third gear. Z06 has long tubes, air intake, special clutch?, dyno tune. Dynoed at 405 at the wheels. My car (03 Cobra) has 2.8 pulley w/chip, cold air, exhaust w/cats, throttle body. Mine made 452...

Where's the best place to buy a 01 Cobra lower intake? My 99 never had the recall so I need one, or from a mach 1? Even a 99 lower with the fix I would be interestd in. Thanks, CB:shrug:

If I bought a used 99 Cobra and the recall has not been done am I screwed? It does not have the mufflers or stamp on the intake that have been mentioned in other threads. Can you see the difference in the intake when you look through the throttle blades? Also there is no computer re-cal decal...

Because of certain financial reasons, I am contemplating selling my R. Would like offers around 45K, have an offer locally of 42K which I have turned down. Would take a 99 or 01 Cobra and cash. (prefer hardtop) Car has 5100 miles and is in excellent shape of course. I would be glad to pay a...

This happened about a month ago, but you guys might enjoy... Going to pick up some chinese food in the R for lunch one day. As I pull out of the dealership parking lot here comes a 67/68 Camaro SS or RS. He makes an effort to catch me and gets next to me and starts revving his engine. I give him...

Went to River City Raceway last night to run the R maybe one last time(may be selling it). Air was pretty good but got bad when moisture rolled in. First pass with minimal cool down: 12.76 @ 113. I believe the improvement was due to the off road X-pipe(Mac) that I installed. Sounds like an R...

Took my wing off the other day, nobody noticed me! NOT! Oh well what can you do? It does look good though, very cool. Then again, what if a Z06 Vette wants to run top-end on the way to work? I better put it back on! Carter:lol:

Took my R to the drags last night, River City Raceway. Went from a best of 13.06 to a worst of 13.26, all at 109+ mph. I had a hard time launching, with a best 60ft of 2.23. Was getting a lot of wheel hop if I launched hard, bogged if I launched too soft. Any suggestions, besides drag radials...
