    03 Cobra has run its course

    Ha, lots of emotion going into this thread. First, as I said a few times in this thread I expected some backlash and haven’t once complained about any comments. 2nd I am also not complaining about not getting the money for my mods back. Simply stating that I have done them and since they can’t...

    03 Cobra has run its course

    I realized I risked some backlash when I posted this. No one ever wants to see a perfectly good car hacked up. That said, I have looked at from many perspectives. Getting a wrecked cobra doesn’t really work because I can use, and need to all of the brakes, suspension, etc. I think most arent...

    03 Cobra has run its course

    Guys you seem to think I haven’t done my homework here and I’m guessing about all of this. I have been building cars for 20 yrs. the shop I have doing the framework wrote the book on mod motor swaps, I mean literally wrote the book: How to Swap Ford Modular Engines into Mustangs, Torinos and...

    03 Cobra has run its course

    I appreciate the feedback guys, but I think you all are underestimating the cost of a coyote swap. I have a 2017 coyote twin turbo and 1000cc sport bikes aren’t an issue (I have one of those too). The point of the 67 isn’t to be faster but at least more fun to drive and turn heads. If it’s going...

    03 Cobra has run its course

    I think we agree there is better technology out there. The reason to do it though is I already have it, and it’s still far superior to a 67 289 motor. As for the other comments around selling and buying another power train, do the math. As was pointed out I could potentially get mid 20’s for...

    03 Cobra has run its course

    Hello all, Long time member here, had the cobra since 04. I’ve put a lot of blood, sweat and money into my cobra and would never get it back from selling. However, I also found I never drive it any more because I have newer better technology cars that are just more fun to drive (07 Z06, 2017 GT...

    03 Cobra Help for No Prep Racing

    When I was on Nitto's with similar IRS mods I would rarely cut under a 2.0 60 ft. Switched to Viking DA shocks front and rear and Mickey Thompson ET street 2 18's and it cuts low 1.6 60 ft's on stock clutch and race weight of 4000lbs+ in my vert. I think it has 1.5's in it with a better clutch...

    2.6 Kenne Bell Dyno

    Those are good numbers, on corn I would expect a bit more. The bigger blowers need to be spun up more to see the real results. I have the old school 2.2 (an inferior blower but I love the scream too much to change it)and put down 674 on 91 and meth at 19 psi. Don't remember the timing. The...

    New PB tonight at Altitude

    I got a new personal best tonight at Bandimere (8069 DA). I was hoping for the 10's but my clutch wasn't having it. Overall I am happy with what the combo did however. Race weight 3975, running 18" drag radials on the IRS and stock clutch was pulling 1.6 60' all night. I'm thinking it's got a...

    New setup for the track

    So I went to the track a couple months ago and couldn't get traction at all. Nitto NT555R might as well be regular street tires on this car. Was getting 2.2 60ft, lots of spin and some hop. I had already done all of the IRS upgrades, MM IRS bushings, Aluminum diff bushings and delrin everywhere...

    Help with Viking Shock install

    I recently ordered (and am trying to install) a set of double adjustable rear viking shocks part B225 on my 03 cobra IRS. The problem is the lower eyelet is considerably larger than the bolt and there is no sleeve with them. There is what appears to be a spacer that is the correct size, but it...

    Increase blower RPM for altitude?

    I am considering adding a larger pulley to my combination in order to make up for boost loss at altitude. I am looking for opinions. I know the standard call of max pulley combos are 2.8/4lb or 2.93/6lb. I am considering going with a 2.8/8lb. Now before I get flamed hear me out... Let's...

    Finally back on the Road!!!!

    I haven't driven my car in 3 1/2 years and finally put it back together and back on the road. It still is much in need of a detail but most external mods are done. I took off the wing, filled the holes, shaved the trunk lock and emblems, blacked out the tails, put on the Saleen side scoops...

    Reichard Idlers- Where to find?

    Anyone know where I can find some of the old version Reichard Racing idlers. Like in this Pic http://www.reichardracing.com/images/large/P8030011.jpg I like the look and it matches the non-slip pulley I already have. Any suggestions?

    Dyno #'s are in-kinda dissapointed

    Well, I went the dyno today and was hoping to rip off some good numbers but they seem pretty low. I have a steggy stage 3 ported blower 2.8 upper 4# lower and other supporting mods. The Maf did not peg, (I'm at 5500 ft elevation). I'm running only 20 degrees of timing. The tune was really...

    Tubular rear IRS?

    I know that many cobra owners decided to go the route of solid axle for drag racing and weight savings but I like the way my IRS drives on the road. I do however want to reduce some weight. I am not concerned about hop as it seems I have taken care of that with my mods(IRS bushings, LCA and...

    Where to tune in or near Denver?

    I am going to be in desperate need of a tune when I get my car back together. I want to get it tuned once and tuned right and need to know a location near Denver to get this done. I am willing to travel some if I have to but am really unsure about driving the car far without a tune. I...

    New injectors/ recalibrate mass?

    I have a universal Pro-M mass (95 mm calibrated for 42# injectors) and plan on using it on the cobra. I am also thinking of upgrading the injectors to 50 or 55 lbs. Do I have to get the mass recalibrated or can I make up for this with the predator tuner? I have tuned other vehicles that do...
