    Power issues 01 Cobra

    Unless you have deep pockets, diagnose first before throwing parts at the car because coils, boots, etc will be a waste of money if for example the motor is worn out.

    340 to 360RWHP

    I would rather get custom pistons to increase compression rather than mill material off the heads and weaken them. If the head deck meets spec for flatness then I wouldn’t mess with milling it but that’s just my opinion. People can do what they want.

    4500 mile IRS PART OUT

    Jesus freaking Christ, this guy is a great seller as he provided a tracking number and packed up the parts really nice. I got my IRS spindles and hubs today and they look almost brand new. Thanks again.

    Another 99 Cobra build thread...

    I wouldn’t even do a .010 hone because I want the thickest walls possible in order for them to survive under boost. I would also skip the boss rods and at minimum use the Manley H beams. Hone only enough to remove any taper and then order custom pistons to match.

    8 rib pulleys (procharger guys)

    If you have a hard time figuring things out and all you can do is open up a box then a kit is the way to go. However, if you know how to measure then just get ahold of the 8 rib truck parts and play around with washers . The kits are ridiculously overpriced considering all you get is a...

    No more Nike’s

    Front Control Arms

    I used to have a car with those global west bushings and the car road like a school bus: harsh like as in any trip over road gaps resulted in a bang and if you drove over a dime you felt it. Plus no matter how often You greased them, they would squeak too. I would not do those bushings on a...

    Team Z K-Member Issues (Pic Heavy) Team Z K-M Owners Please Chime In.

    I bolted up a Maximum Motorsports K member to my car without issue. There was no need to grind the motor mount alignment tabs either.

    98 Cobra dedicated track build thread

    Good move on your part with choosing Maximum Motorsports for the majority of the build and nice work on the diff cooler. What are you going to do about cooling the oil? I know that Ford Performance strongly recommends an air to air oil cooler for the GT500 and coyote engines so I would...

    Shooting in Capital Gazette building, Annapolis MD

    The Republicans will say “thoughts and prayers “ and “now is not the time to talk about this.” This country spends trillions on the military in order to “keep us safe” and yet these mass shootings keep happening and “ there is nothing we can do about it.” Anybody wanna bet when the next mass...

    K member and moving the wheels forward

    The drag race k members are dramatically weaker than the stock piece so the ride and handling is going to be terrible with a light weight drag race k member. The Maximum Motorsports K member is not much lighter than stock and I think that is a good thing because it’s built to take a beating...

    Qa1 k member

    The QA1 weighs 25 pounds and that is too light and not strong enough to put up with cornering and braking loads in a road race application. On top of that, a k member has to hold up the weight of the motor and I don’t see a 25 pound light weight k member holding up under road race and street...

    Qa1 k member

    The QA1 k member is drag race part that is much lighter than stock. However, the qa1 k member is also much weaker than stock and thus it will flex a lot more than the oem kmember and those are bad things to happen if the goal is to improve handling in the twisties and survive every day Street use.

    Vortech on a Bullitt build

    I put in a V1 T on a Mach 1 and then I added a terminator fuel tank and pumps. No hesitation during shifts so there is no need to waste money a return fuel system. Get a terminator tank and pumps.

    Maximum Motorsports is unbeatable in terms of quality and performance. Furthermore, MM builds their parts like a tank to survive a nuclear war. Griggs on the other hand builds the lightest possible parts that have issues with parts cracking...

    '97 Convertible- subframe connectors?

    One race car fabrication shop put a Mustang on a frame table and measured the bending and twisting of the Mustang chassis and based on the results, ladder bar sub frame connecter set ups such as stiffler and Global West do not add additional strength over a Maximum Motorsports type subframe...

    01 Cobra vert suspension options

    The op’s car The OP’s car has a solid rear axel so the link you provided is useless. Ride quality mainly depends on springs and shocks so I would suggest a phone call to maximum motorsports as they are the most knowledgeable on that subject.

    305s in the front possible?

    People have fit a 315 35 17 sized tire on the front end of a Mustang with a SLA suspension. I’ve also seen a 315 front tire on a 2003 Mustang that still had a strut type front suspension so wheel offset was the key in that case.

    01 Cobra Ysi 8 Rib Conversion

    I bought the spacer and pilot kit on eBay from a Vortech dealer. As for the American Racing Solutions Tensioner, yes, it will not fit behind a stock 2001 Cobra Vortech bracket. However, I heavily modified the Vortech blower bracket on my 01 Cobra in order to make the American Racing solutions...

    01 Cobra Ysi 8 Rib Conversion

    Yes, you can run an 8 rib smooth pulley on the stock ford tensioner as long as you have a Kenne Bell or Vortech spacer and pilot kit that goes behind the factory tensioner. I have a Vortech Spacer, pilot, pulley shim and 8 rib pulley for sale that bolts onto stock style belt tensioner for sale...
