I came up to a street light in the turn lane and there was a 96-98 GT sitting in front of me. I wondered if he was game or not. The light turns green and we turn the corner. He was nice enough to let me finish turning and then he got on it!!!! I was thinking SWEET! I put my right foot down...
Okay I will start with my mods and then the numbers.
2.80 non-slip pulley
100mm idler
10" filter
bolt-in Spin-tech mufflers (not cat-back, just mufflers)
NGK TR6 plugs gapped @ 0.34
Predator tuner
Stock I dynoed 394 RWHP and 381 RWTQ
With Mods I dynoed 446 RWHP and 476 RWTQ
All...
I just want to say thank you to James at "Running With The Devil" for doing a custom dyno tune to my car and my friends cars. It is a long story, but he definitley went the extra mile to insure that they were tuned the right way and adjusted his price to make sure everyone was happy. If anyone...
Well I went to test and tune again today to continue my quest for 7's in the 1/8th.
My mods are:
10" power stack filter
Spin Tech replacement mufflers
Predator Performance tune
Nitto Drag Radials
My previous best was 8.22 with a 2.04 60-foot and that was my first time on DRs. I...
Well I have a 2.80 non-slip pulley on order, but it seems to be lost in the mail somewhere :mj: But that is another matter.
So my friend happens to have a 2.75 pulley sitting around. He stops by today and ask me if I want to try it out. I say what the hell, lets do it. We swap it out and...
I traded my friend a couple of my RC nitro cars for his ZEX nitrous kit. He has a 89 5.0L. He put a blower on it so he didn't want the nitrous anymore. It is a dry system with the purge kit, 75 HP-150 HP.
I have a few questions.
1. Will this kit work on my 03 Cobra, or is there a different...
Fate smiled on me a few days ago. I happened to line up with a very clean Buick GN at a light. I looked over and he had 2 A-pillar gauges, but that was all I could tell for mods. As I said the car look very clean. I threw out a quick rev to let him know I was interested. I was feeling a...
Is this a good deal?
I have my credit card in hand and the info ready to go. I want to order this.
Has anyone had any trouble with RPM Outlet? Are they a good company?
I'm tempted to wait and order teh Predator through "Running with the devil" I have heard great things about his...
I just read that the lower pulley gets you more torque. If this is true then I would think that even though it cost more and is harder to install that more people would have gone with it.
So I guess my question is what is best for overall street/strip use?
What are the pros and cons of...
43 degrees, traction was very bad.
Using almost slick Nitto DRs
60 foot = 2.0
1/8 = 8.22 @ 89 mph.
I was pretty happy as I dropped 3 tenths off my previous best. I did run an equal run to my previous best on my stock tires the same day. Then I put the DRs on and had to learn how to use...
Pretty darn happy :) At first I thought they were way to quiet. But then after driving around for 2 days with them on, I love them. They have the exact sound I was looking for and they do have some loudness to them. You can hardly hear them in the car, but if you roll the windows down they...
On the way home just about 5 minutes ago. I was going down the highway and saw a LS1 Camaro SS turn onto the highway. I waited for him to catch up and he threw me a rev as he passed. So I matched his speed and down shifted to 4th. We slowed to about 65mph and I could hear him changing gears...
Finally dynoed today. Dynojet 248.
3,200 miles
K&N drop in airfilter
silencer removed
NGK TR6 gapped @ 0.40
SAE Corrected Numbers
HP = 394.7
Torque = 381.3
Stock tune
A/F = 12-13 on low end and then dropped to 10-11 on the high end.
I must say that I was very impressed...
Like it says. Stock 03 Cobra only mod is drop in K&N, silencer removed.
$250 max. Most safe power! I know it isn't much to work with, but I appreciate any help.
I want to put SpinTech mufflers on so that takes $150 of it.
What is the best other mod for $100?
Was thinking 2.93...
I was all excited and then I checked on the internet and found out that it is all show. WTF? It did look nice, but $10,000 extra for 260 HP and some suspension mods??? Couldn't he have just bought an 03 Cobra for less? :shrug: I guess to each their own. Like I said it was very nice...
To make a long story short, I never get anyone wanting to race me. Well I left work about a 1/2 hour late today and I have now found a reason to work late :)
I was driving along going home, when I noticed a supra a few cars back. He was making his way through traffic. He pulls up beside me...
Okay, finally made it to the track. 1/8 mile and I have 1,200 miles on her. I ran several runs and found out real quick that it doesn't like to be hot lapped. So I let it cool down 15-30 minutes in between runs after that. It is stock, only mod is silencer removed. All runs were normal...
I was looking into Spin Tech Mufflers for my 03 Cobra and called a shop near me. They say they have Twister Mufflers. They say they sound raspy like flows, but are a lot louder. Does anyone have any experiance with these?
Here is a site that shows them. I've never seen anything like it...
My car was built Feb 03. I called the dealership today and they said they have it fixed. I pick it up tomorrow morning. From what I could get from them is that they ended up retorquing the cams on the drivers side. I will find out more tomorrow after I pick it up and look at all of the...
I have seen a three 03 Cobras, several Lightning, and countless modded foxbodies and newer GTs running around here. I am near Eglin AFB / Fort Walton Beach. Just wondering if there is any one from around here on this board. I just moved here about a year ago and haven't found any "car people"...
I talked to the service writer at my dealership about changing my own oil. They told me that as long as I used synthetic 5W20 oil that I would be fine. I told them I thought that I wasn't suppose to use synthetic oil and they told me I was wrong, that synthetic oil is all I should be using and...
I bought my Cobra last Thursday. It had a few small scratches and I noticed the M3 tape was poking out on the spoiler, so the dealer said they would fix it. So I took it home and noticed after only 150 miles on the odometer it has the infamous engine tick and the passenger seat rattles against...
Just bought my 03 Cobra on Thursday and have a few questions.
1. I think the exhaust is way to quiet.
Has anyone just cut out their mufflers and put straight pipes in their place? Or is this just the old school in me showing through? I was wondering how loud it would be.
2. Are...
Well I have a pre-approved loan and I have talked to the dealer over the phone. I took today off work so I could drive to the dealer and get this done (50 miles). They have a dark shadow grey one on their lot, but they said they can get me the last sonic blue one in the area. And it is the...
