Hey! I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee and need a professional tuner for my 1997 Cobra that has been moderately modified. It was originally tuned by Scott Noe in Morristown, TN; but I've heard he is no longer in business. Willing to travel. Thanks! Jamie

Hey! I am swapping an old school engine--no computer. Can my 1997 Cobra gauges work without the computer? How do I wire the tach, oil, volt, temp gauges? Thanks! Jamie

Hey! Idle issues suck. Is there a sticky or all inclusive thread for every component that effects idle? Off the top of my head I can think of Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Air Control valve, Oxygen sensors, MAF, Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, vacuum...

Hey! TUBE ASY-AIR BY PASS VLV INLET Part #: F6ZZ9H308BD Do I NEED this part, or can I replace with regular stock tubing from intake tube to Idle Air Control valve? Thanks! Jamie

Hey! I am interested in a supercharger for my 1997 Mustang Cobra. It is currently running forged internals with 10.4:1 compression, B heads, CompCams 106160's, and Kooks SS long tube headers with a SCT Xcal2 tune. I know I will need to rebuild the shortblock with lower compression...

Hey! I have a 1997 Cobra that has idle woes. It either hangs at 2000 rpm until settling to 850, or it dips down to 600 rpm and dies. My tuner is going to relook at it soon to see what can be done. Why does the idle suck? It is flash tuned with a SCT Xcal2. Here is the setup: 10.7:1...

Hey! Can the factory tach be calibrated? My tach reads 1100 RPM at idle when it is truly 800 RPM. The upper limits of RPM is even worse. Who does tach calibration, or is it time to replace with a new tach? Jamie

Hey! Never ran nitrous before, just curious about the Window Switch. I read once that the switch should be activated above 2000 RPM to prevent bearing damage. Now I am reading 3000 RPM. Would my engine be protected at 2000 RPM, or that a sure way to start the bearing knocking/tick of...

I need TORQUE and a lot of it to make up for my lack of driving skill. I have not got the hang of shifting at high RPM to get the most out of my naturally aspirated 281. Currently I upshift in daily commuter traffic with the gas floored and the tires don't even break loose. The clutch...

Hey! Scott Noe is assembling my '97 4.6 DOHC engine for me. The 106500 camshafts are hitting the flat top pistons. And the valve seals are hitting the retainers. The technicians that are advising him say the biggest cam that will fit is a 106160. JIMS SVT has been very gracious with...

Hey! I have had my '97 Cobra in the weeds for three years now and the front bumper has developed some bad road rash under the corner fog lights. I plan to replace the bumper this Spring, but was wondering if there is a solution to the road rash. I didn't know if Line-X on the bottom would...

Hey! I would like to build up my 1997 Cobra. I would like to keep the intake manifold, B-heads, and stock aluminum block for a stock appearance. Supercharging is not an option for me. The Mustang will be stock weight for a 1997 Cobra convertible with all power accessories (A/C, power...

Hey! I am thinking of a 351 stroker swap in my Cobra. So far I have found Hooker headers Super Competition 1 5/8" headers for the SN95 for the exhaust. What kind of restriction will a 1 5/8" primary tube header have on a 408+" stroker? I really want a 500+ hp screamer to 6500 rpm with...

Hey! I would like to rebuild my '97 Cobra with big cams. I like the sound of a lopey idle! I would like to retain the original look under the hood with stock intake and exhaust manifolds. My understanding is the stock MAF and injectors will support 400 hp. Running HUGE cams like...

Hey! The Search Forum link is not working for me, so I'll just ask my question: My 1997 Cobra with 117k miles will start, but immediately stalls. I can give her gas and keep it alive, but remove pressure from gas pedal and rpm lowers below 400 rpm and dies. This happened a month ago...

Hey! Let's play a game: What is that sound? the first objective is to tell me what squealy sound my 1997 Cobra makes when I shut her off and have to listen to some squealy, deflating balloon sound. I have wondered if it is the hydraulic power assist brakes. The second objective...

Hey! How durable is the stock 1997 DOHC 4.6 in naturally aspirated form? I have read that the powder metal rods are OK to 450 hp (flywheel), and I push my "hyper-whatever" pistons to 7000 rpm safely everyday. How far can I push my stock shortblock? 360 RWHP @ 7600 rpm? Can I build a...

Hey! I would like to hear from the guys who are running (or have experience installing) big cams in the 4.6 Cobra 4v engines. How big is your Stick and what's the redline? How is driveability? How big is too big for street/strip? I think too big is just big enough, bigger is definitely...

Hey! Can the cruise control controls in the steering wheel be used on a '97 Cobra swapped to a carbureted small block Ford? What would be required to make cruise control system work? Thanks! Jamie

460" 385 series engine conversion kits? Hey! Who offers kits for SN95 bodies to fit a 460? All I have found are for the Fox body. Any articles, pics? Thanks! Jamie

Hey! What should the sound of burning rubber sound like? I think it should be a high pitched squealing with the drama of smoke and signature parallel stripes on the pavement. Why do my tires "scruff", low pitch sound? Is it because of the low profile? Who has experience with different...

Hey! I have a problem stuffing the shifter into gear when I am at redline in 2nd, and trying to grab a gear into 3rd. It only happens when I am aggressively shifting, not during normal driving. Is this common for the factory shifter on a '97 Cobra? How do I solve this malady? :shrug...
