Hey guys, I decided that the 3V life was not for me (sorry 3v guys) so I sold it this past week. I decided that because I am working from home and going to school only 2 days a week I could indulge in something more impractical. The craigslist search did not last long, I found a two owner 1999...

... Automatic watch that is! After taking a vacation to Las Vegas and visiting Shelby American I had a higher appreciation for the history of Shelby. It felt like fate to see it in a glass case of a watch store hours after I had left Shelby American, I knew I had to have it. I know some of you...

Tonight was the first free night that I had to go to the track so I decided to drive her up to Island dragway and test her out! T56 2.3 Whipple on pump with some torco. First run ever on the new suspension setup I left the E-brake up till the 1/8th... running a whopping 12.58@103. Next run I...

Hey guys, I just wanted to post some of the pictures from a mini shoot I did with a buddy of mine showing off the new drag setup. It was raining on and off so I did not want to let the roads get much wetter than they already were. Hope you guys enjoy! I will be doing a real shoot with more than...

Hey guys, so my goal this winter was to make use of the power I am putting down currently and make some room for future power goals. I decided that the best way to do so was to swap out my FTBR IRS for a Built 8.8. I kept breaking things and I wanted to lower my 60' at the track. It all started...

Okay before anyone asks I have searched all over and cant seem to find anything else about what to do about my rear brakes. I know that I would like to keep my current calipers, pads, rotors, and anything else I can retain (I went a bit overboard on parts for the solid so I am trying to conserve...

I know this should be in driveline but I am hoping for more exposure and fast response! I just picked up a Solid 8.8 from a 2002 Mustang Gt, I am just wondering what I need to do in order to keep it from bending. Is anyone doing more than just welding the tubes? If so, where are you buying them...

I have been looking at what I will need for nitrous and I learned that N2MB has a Nitrous extension that can be programed to turn on or off at certain RPM's (basically a window switch) and will activate "at a certain throttle threshold". It will also make sure that it will not spray when No-lift...

Hey guys, I am getting the itch for some more power. My car is a Gen II 2.3 Whipple car that sees its fair share of street and track usage. Recently a few buddies of mine have been stepping up their power and I would like to be able to compete as well. I don't want to spend a ton of money...

Hey guys, I am trying to figure out some technique to get a better 60' and also see if you guys think there are any issues with my trap speed. The first time I went I was on my street tune ~580rwhp. The next trip out, I changed my 3.25 to 3.00 upper and changed tunes to my race tune (Car...

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out what to do now that I broke my driver's side half shaft. Strange part is that it broke near the hub, not the diff side. I am wondering what you guys are doing about replacements. I know I have seen a few people use the DSS Pro's and they say that those are...

Hey guys, I am just trying to get a group together to do a track night at Island on the 28th. Hopefully we can get a few people out to have a good night! So far it is just me and T0RCH3D but let me know if you will be going! For anyone wondering, It will be from 7-11:30

Hi guys, I wanted to get some opinions on what could be wrong with my trans. I noticed when I first got the car, that when I wanted to shift from 3-4 it would sometimes be sloppy, notchy, and not like my last cobra felt. The car came with a Steeda Tri-ax that I thought was the route of the...

Zinc Yellow* lol. it has been a long day. Hi guys, THIS IS NOT MY CAR!! I work at the dealer group across the street and saw that it was traded in so I had to go look at it. I only felt compelled to post this car because it is so freaking nice. I have had two low millage cobra's myself and...

Hi everyone, I recently started hearing a noise coming from what I thought was the Differential. It happened immediately after I was testing my WOT Shifting so I have a feeling that is what did it. I noticed a noise that only happens when the car is not under load. When it is in load there are...

SOLD! Still hoping for a trade, but I am almost ready to buy new! I am just looking to go a different direction with the car. The wheels themselves are nearly perfect. (They are so shiny that they actually lit a mulch pile on fire when they redirected the sun) There is no chrome pitting...

I recently blew up my differential and am rebuilding it with a Eaton TrueTrac and gears but I am wondering if people have tried a 3.31 rear gear. I am making ~600 to the wheels with my 2.3 Whipple and I love the top end pull that some of the lower geared cars have. I do like to track the car and...

Today I had the opportunity to race a beautiful red C7 Z06. He said it was stock. Not sure if it was an automatic or stick but it sounded like an auto. My car is a 2.3 Whipple Cobra making about 580rwhp. I usually don't go out of my way to mess around on the street but the new Z06 is...

Hey guys, I just had my first time out on the track with the cobra (second time ever actually). I am just curious what you think of my times. My goal for this year is a 10.99. Any pointers would be great! I know I need to improve my 60' but I am trying to figure out how hard to launch. My best...

Hey guys, I am looking for some info regarding the best slicks for my 16x7.5 wheels. I am looking for a tire that is going to hold my power well (615RWHP SAE) and be safe for the IRS. I am looking between the Hoosier QTP's and the MT Et Streets. I hear great things about the Hoosiers but they...

Hey guys, yesterday was the first really nice day we have had here in Mexico and the first day I have had the Cobra out after the retune so I decided to go on a cruise with some friends. Race 1: CBR 600RR With Exhaust As we were just driving around enjoying the day I found myself next to my...

Hey guys, I am very new to this section and just wanted to run something by you all. With my last car, I did the pretty simple wash, wax, spray wax at shows, and repeat. That was all well and good because the Mineral Gray did not show swirls or dirt. That all changed when I bought my new black...

Like I said In the title, Looking for a Reichard Racing 2.9 Upper pulley for a 2.3 Whipple. I am looking to buy ASAP, because my tune is this upcoming Wednesday. Let me know what you've got! Thanks!

Moved to Terminator Talk for more exposure! Yes, another belt length thread. I have stock idlers (I know, I know) with a Metco 100mm snub idler. I have a 3" upper pulley and stock lower. If it were an eaton it would be a simple trip to CobraBob's site but it is for a Gen 2. 2.3 Whipple...
