Beautiful redfire coupe with 23,000 miles. See mods. Chrome rims, black COBRA inserts, cobra floormats, Cobra front emblem. Professionally tuned by Kennedy's. 460 rwhp.
The car had two minor fenderneders - the front bumper and chin spoiler are brand new professionally painted (not one...
I'm cruising along the other night (very light) and came upon a late 90's Cobra - couldn't tell the exact year for sure. Anyhow, I pull alongside and give him the thumbs up. He immediately hits the throttle and jumps about a car length. I hit in fourth and pull like a mother. I then notice...
I'm on the I90 last night and I pass a Grand Am. I get over to the right lane just cruising and minding my own business. This guy in the Grand Am flys by me in the left lane doing about 80 and gets in front of me in the right lane. After a couple of minutes, he gets caught behind a semi...
I noticed that, at WOT, the boost guage pegs very quickly (dynoed 13.9psi after the 2.93 install), but falls off to 4-5 psi after about 3-4 seconds. I never really noticed this. Shouldn't the boost stay pegged at WOT ?
I'm running the 2.93 without idlers. Will check for belt dust later...
I'm thinking of going the KB route. What RWHP can I expect at different PSI - 15/17. Also, what's the highest PSI you can run on pump gas ? My tuner seemed concerned that anything above my current setup would probably require race gas - but he's very conservative. My friend's putting a...
Can anyone lend me some insight on the Academy ? My son is 13 years old and I'm trying to give him some guidance before he reaches college age. He's pulling a 97 average in school (top in his class).
I told him that, if I had it to do all over again, I'd go into the Academy and get an...
Alright, I will not count this as a kill, but........ I'm coming back into work today on lunch hour, doing about 70 into downtown and I pass this RS - I start reminiscing about my days as an owner of an 84' Camaro. Many fond memories. Until this guy starts goosin' it and stays neck and neck...
On the way to work this AM, I get stuck behind three cars in the left lane doing 45-50 or so. I notice way back, a nice black WS6 working his way up and finally gets right behind me. Well, now I can't stand being sandwiched, so I flip over to the right lane and hit it hard in 3rd (should've...
I need to replace my Nitto 315's. What size Goodyear GS-D3 is similar in actual width (285's ?) - I understand that the Nittos typically run smaller. I see that Goodyear has a 315/35/17 but will it fit on the stock rims ?
I just talked to my tuner who's working on the car today. He's has the AF up to 11.5 and got 461rwhp (STD)/448 TQ on the first run. I am extremely happy with these results. :rolling:
Well, I had the car on the dyno'd yesterday for the first time. Sorry, can't scan the charts here from work. Here's the results:
Base run (w/catback and CAI) - 414rwhp
2nd run (w/2.93, no chip) - 457rwhp (too lean)
Last run (w/2.93, chip - very conservative tune) - 449rwhp
We had to...
2.93 SFPH pulley and custom tune being done Thursday. I can't wait - the car is feeling very sluggish in this heat and humidity. Will have dyno results to post at the end of the week. :D
Well, I finally got a chance to see what this car can really do. I've had it 3 months now and haven't gotten it over 110 (4,000 miles).
Last night, I hit a nice stretch of country road about about 1.5 miles long through a valley - nice and flat - nobody around. I hit 145 at what seemed...
Anyone bringing their 03 to the August race at Bristol. I just got talked into bringing my camper, Tahoe, and Cobra ???? I told my buddies that I expect them to supply all food, water, beer, hard liquor, dope, women, medicine, gas, and anything else that I can think of. Sure would like to...
I drive by the dealer every day and cannot believe that they still have 2 Mystic verts on the lot. Well, I'm praying that they don't get sold before the Fall. Why ? Well, I have a manufacturing business and it's just starting to takeoff (Thanks, Mr. Bush) and I'm hoping to have some excess...
Just got the 2.93 from SFPH. Unfortunately, it won't be installed for another month. I can't wait.
What can I expect SOTP difference ? Will this be the biggest noticable gain yet (see my mods) ? Hope so. Let me hear some good things !
Just ordered the SFPH 2.93 nonslip, 74" Gatorback belt, plugs and 170 thermostat. Custom tune to be done later this month. I went with the 2.93 to avoid idlers, heat exchanger upgrade, etc. It seems many here on the board are running the 2.93 with a similar setup. My warranty is toast, but...
I just ordered the K&N recharger service care kit. I'm assuming that this is the right product to use to clean the filter. Haven't cleaned it yet. How often do these need cleaning, any tips ?
After considering a 2.80, I'm having second thoughts. With a custom tune, my warranty will be gone. The car has 3K miles. Plus, the cost of doing the pulley mod right is about $1,400 which includes S/C pulley, idlers, belt, plugs, H/E, custom tune. The dark side keeps tell me "go for it" you...
I'm having Kennedy's do the pulley and chip. He is recommending the 2.93 over the 2.80 - little safer. How much of a difference is there between the two - SOTP and RWHP ? Mileage is at 3200 - is it too early to do this ?
I'm having a custom chip and pulley installed by Kennedys Dynotune here in Buffalo. What is the max. boost with the stock Eaton on pump gas ? He wasn't 100% sure of the pulley size. What do you recommend ?
