This was about the 4th race against a Z06. I'm driving along and I look over to the right and a blue Z06 is right next to me. The guy looks at me and gives a smile and thumbs up. He slows, I slow to about 30 MPH. I give him the jump. I pulled to his bumper and stayed there. We had to back...

Race my buddy yesterday for fun. We went at it several times at different speeds with same outcome. HIS L: 2002 L, Headers, electric water pump and fan, CAI, TB, Mass Air, 6# Pulley, lowered 2 inches, exhuast, cats, chip, every bolt-on you can buy for the L. Has $16,000 in mods/upgrades...

We got 8 inches of snow yesterday. Drove the SUV. Almost HAD to drive te 03 Cobra today, but car-pooled with my wife. My 91 Stang went ok in about 3 inches with weight. I figured if I took 2 - 45 lb plates off my weight set and put them in the trunk. Filled up the tank... I'd be good to...

http://www.bonforums.com/lincolnmerc/aviator_engsusp.def.110602.htm Apparently the word is out. The problems is that #7 and #8 cylinders are crap on these engines? How do I know if my engine was built there? Or are they all built the same? Does this mean my engine is crap and will die...

Saw this 02 M3 driving through traffic the other day. Going my way. He was up about 1/4 mile ahead. I tried to catch up. He was in and out of lanes. WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HEAR.... A TRAFFIC LIGHT!!! He jumps to the FAR right lane. I get RIGHT behind him. There is construction in the...

I just road raced a 2001 LS1 Z28. We went at it about 7-8 times from various speeds. Mostly from 10,20, 30, 40 MPH rolls. About my car (03 Cobra): Dyno'd at 440 RWHP on a 94 F day. It was 54 tonight. I have a Diablo chip, 3" Cat Back, and a 2.8 Blower pulley, K&N of course. Stock I was...

LS1 Firebird asks me if I want to run. He had a passenger and so did I. Only mine weighs in at about 225. I am about 192. These guys where all of 105 SOAKING WET! They had diplomat plates. I also had, spare tire, baby seat, and 3/4 tank...HEAVY! We go from a roll 3 times. Pulled away...

Bought the Jonny Lightning. Went to install and boy is that thing a POS. I took it back. 1. Its VERY VERY HEAVY! 2. Can see a gap around the neck. Air can get into the system without going through filter. 3. JUST SITS in the engine bay. Nothing to keep it from banging around and...

Can someone answer this? The thought they are supposed to look good with a fine orangey dust on the inner part. How could I tell if something bad is going on? I have the 2.80 and Diablo flash for the 2.80 puley.

Ok, so I'm screwing around with the 03 tonight. I check the plugs and the driver rear plug was out to about .60"... I gapped all to about .45 (cause I got the 2.80 pulley). They all looked good. Lil orangey. Then I decided to go ahead and put my silencer back on for sh*ts and giggles. Too...

I did the pulley swap. I am using the stock air box, silencer removed, and the E-0945 K&N. The car is obviously choked now in the 5000+ RPM range. I think I read someone say you take your HP (I am about 500 at the engine, 440 at the rear) 500 and multiply it by 1.6 to get your CFM flow...

I rode in my friends L the other day. He was modded with Superchip, CAI, Ram Air system. I was not really that impressed. I said it was a fast truck but was about 1.5 seconds slower 0-60 than me and just did not have the MONSTER pull of the 03 CObra... Well that afternoon he installs the...

Did the swap. Went to the 2.81 pulley. They removed the snout and used a press to remove and install the pullies. Changed the blower oil too. Also installed the smaller belt. They apparently had to cut a metal/aluminum pieced that a hose goes on so the snout can be removed without having...

Still shaking from the adrenaline. Z06 is coming through traffic. I slow to 40 in the right lane. He finally gets up to me and wants around. I shift to 2nd and give hime the "look" and goose the engine. He looks at me like "yea right!" So I speed up and he get RIGHT behind me. I HAMMER...

Did not start having this problem until I modded the 03. Cat-Back and Diablo and I got WHEEL HOP BAD!!! What do I do? This has to be killing my acceleration! Anyone else got this? :gt:

Getting on the highway and the guy behind me was HUGGIN my azz. So I gave er a shot of juice and the guy does the same thing. We hit the TOLL BOOTH and the guys is even CLOSER to my bumper. I'm like "whats he doin?" so I drop my 25 cents and I figure he's gotta stop and drop his... Game...

I am looking to buy this pulley. Quoted $195 through SFP. Thats a little steep for such a cheap part to make. Any others sell this product? I want to make a comparison. Thanks! :beer:

Had the car at the speed shop. They gave me a great price to install diablo tune, dyno (a/f), and install the pulley. They could not get the pully off. So they decided to take off the entire blower snout. Drained all the blower oil. Then they realized they could not get that off without...

Anyone know how to change the blower oil? What type of oil to use? Would not using Synthetic oil be better in the blower? Cooler temps and longer lasting under extreme temps and RPM! Dont think I saw anything in the manual. How to get a Ford Manual for the 03 Cobra? :eek:

Dont know if anyone has done this. I did mine yesterday. A guy with a SUPERCHARGED VIPER GTS hooked me up and did the install for free! The CRANKCASE VENTILATION hose goes into the intake. This has 2 problems that ROB POWER: 1. Forces hot crank case air into the intake in front of the...

VIPER: 93 (pristeen condition 16K miles, intake mods, exhaust, light weight rims) 2003 Cobra: Only 3" cat-back, K&N, Superchip with crappy tune (Diablo chip produced almost 30 more at the wheels) Its my friends Viper. He let me drive it. ITs a TORQUE MONSTER! Lots of attention in the...

Pull up behind a new C5. Gave him a little pleasant exuast note from the new 3" Cat-Back as I drove by him.... He follows... We turn a corner and he LIGHTS the LS1 and hence, I HAMMER the 03... He got the jump but NEVER pulled ahead. I was pulling away at a fairly decent pace in first and...

Went and had a DynoMax 3" Cat-Back system install and a Diablo chip (regular tune, not the good tune with mods). Other mods are K&N filter in stock Air Box, BTW: THESE ARE CORRECTED SAE NUMBERS THE NUMBER WERE ACTUALLY HIGHER!!! DYNO #2 WITH MODS AND SILENCER ON CAR...
