I do it, not sure what it's worth on lower power cars, but it consistently nets me over 1mph in the 1/4. Not huge, but it's not nothing. My headlight is "funneled", not removed completely.
I had the leak on mine, sent back a handful of times. The problem from the beginning was a bad cast from the main to the tail section, the surfaces didn't mate flat and true. They kept sending it back saying all good, but still the same leak. Finally, they sent a new trans and all good after...
He did the tuning on my first 03 back in 04/05, we made some good power with the nitrous Eaton. Great guy.
I uploaded this 10 years ago, but it's from nearly 20 years ago. It made 663rwhp before the port on a 180ish shot, ended up with an open jet over 200 and a ported eaton but never dynoed...
Hard to tell from the video, but with that minimal amount of a leak right there, it's not the issue.
How did you originally set the throttle body for the tune?
The last one I bought was in 2019, paid $28,500 for my 7400 mile 100% stock down to tires TR 10th vert. At the time, I was thinking it was a $32-34k car. In early 2021, I was hard offered $45k and $48k by two different people, turned down both. That was probably the height of the market. I’m...
One of my current cobras runs 8’s, but I’ve had a bunch of different combos and cobras over the years. Currently I’m running either a 3.25 (street/track) or a 3.70 (track, works with 2nd gear leave well) , it’s a 9” rear so adding the fluid takes more time than the actual gear change. The...
It is still "an" IRS, it is not a "stock" IRS. Nothing about it is stock.
Yes, I'm pretty sure if I built my current Cobra as a chassis car, had a 9" center section made/installed for the IRS, some very good coil overs, perfect weight distro, lots of track time, and an additional 1k...
Apparently so. The only thing stock about it is the suspension mounting points and that it is still IRS, other than that, the car had a 9" rear, which is what my post above said.
What exactly is your interpretation of stock? Surely it's not a 9" aftermarket cradle/center section conversion.
Most people swap to the SRA the 1/4 mile, so you see people put in drag suspension parts; springs, shocks, ARB, etc. I can tell you that crusader shock to crusader shock valved the same, IRS to SRA, the driving is extremely similar on the road.
Solid ends are fine. You're going to feel the...
I have MS3 on my car now and he doesn't deal with MS3, but if you have the stock ECU or want to go Holley, Second Street Speed 100%. Bill tuned quite a few of my cars over the years, including my stock longblock 2.3 whipple cobra (9.7@141 on c16). He can and does make the most out of the stock...
In exactly what way did you have a great upgrade going from 3.55 to 3.73? The numerical difference with RPM and MPH is just not enough to make any practical difference at all. I mean, we are talking 1-4mph and 50-200rpm difference from first through fourth.
It just makes no difference with...
unported heads on my car at about 1500 at the engine, I was told that it wasn't really worth it for the $4200 unless I was trying to squeeze out 20-40rwhp extra. I figure that's a pully change away. In retrospect, with the car apart and the amount of money spent, I should have done it.
Single Zeitronix ZT-3 here with the LSU 4.9. I actually have a 2nd one in the box sitting here, but am just sticking with the single.
Make sure you get the CAN bus version of whatever.
I’m well into the 8’s already, and not even close to being where the car will end up boost and tune wise.
88% duty cycle on 1650’s with a more mild build than you at 28 pounds, but with the gen 5 3.0. Probably 1500ish crank. Base pressure at 43, so no bandaids.
Get the 1700’s, no...
I can see how traction is a problem. I'm well over 1000rwhp through a Th400 and a converter that flashes to 6400, so traction on the street is not exactly ideal, even with my car that is low 1.2's at the track.
I'd suggest that instead of spending many thousands on the procharger changeover...
