    Fuel System Cleaner Recommendations?

    I'm trying to clean the intake track (I use Berryman B 12 for the fuel system) of carbon. I suppose that includes the imrc. I'm wondering how quickly/slowly I should allow the Seafoam to trickle in? I've viewed conflicting demonstrations on You Tube.

    Hi. My username is Therzl. I received a notification that you responded to my Seafoam question, but I don't see it in the thread (nor my question). I'm accessing the site with my cell phone. Perhaps that's causing a problem. If convenient, could you please send your response as a pm to my...

    Fuel System Cleaner Recommendations?

    Hi. I have a 96 Cobra with 110k. When applying seafoam through the nozzle on the plenum, at what rate (minutes?) should it be sucked in. Yes, I'm attempting to restore power by removing years of carbon buildup. Is hydrolock-ing a concern...

    4.10 or ?

    Yes, I'm possibly interested. Could you please tell me what this device is and how it functions? Also, how old is it?

    4.10 or ?

    Thank you all for responding to my questions. I greatly appreciate your time, knowledge and insight. I've decided to go with the 4.10s and will likely replace the LSD discs with the FP carbon Traction-LOK re-build kit (and a 28 spline S-spring). Thanks again.

    4.10 or ?

    Thanks for your input. 4.10 should definitely jolt the car, but I've read 4.30s are perhaps preferable. With the 4.10 installed, if travelling 65/70 mph on stock 17" wheels (If I read correctly), the rpm should hover around 25/2,600, which isn't bad. I have concerns that a 4.30 will keep the...

    4.10 or ?

    I own a '96 Cobra with 110K miles. The engine is stock (and N/A). I've completed moderate suspension upgrades, MGW shifter...I'm considering swapping out the 3.27 gear with a 4.10 or 4.30. Any recommendations as to which ratio and why? Also, my stock clutch is going. I'm looking at the Exedy...

    Need Advice

    I own a 96 Cobra with a stock engine (113k miles) and minor modifications. I have many questions regarding upcoming maintenance and would greatly appreciate anyone's opinion/advice. The rad. is a Fluidyne and likely needs flushing. What do you think of Royal Purple's Purple Flush for this...

    I took your advice and re-posted in the Taste of Home/California section; however, I'm not quite sure how to delete my initial posting. Will that be a problem if it remains? Thank you.

    San Jose, California

    I own a '96 Cobra. I live in the San Jose area. It needs minor work (e.g., brake-rotor/pad replacement, coolant flush etc). Can anyone recommend a decent shop/mechanic to do the work? I've had good luck with Mustang Ranch, but they're out of business. Thank you.

    Spark-plugs and coolant

    I own a '96 Cobra with 110k miles. The engine is stock and non-aspirated. It needs new plugs. Is there any particular type/brand that will provide me the best performance (e.g., platinum)? Also, the radiator is a Fluidyne and the coolant needs replacement. Is there a preferable type/brand and...

    Imrc

    I own a 96 Cobra. I'm considering removing the IMRC and installing delete plates. I was told by a local auto-shop that doing this would require "burning a new chip" in order for the car's computer to acknowledge the absence of the IMRC. Is this true and necessary? Is implanting a new chip...

    exhaust, shifter, throttle-bodies

    I own a 96 Cobra. What combination x-pipe (or H or?) and cat-back exhaust would provide the most hp (this car is street driven)? The brands can be mixed. I'm leaning towards Magnaflow. I also wish to replace the stock shifter. I'm considering the Tri-ax or MGW (or any suggestions). If it's...

    seeking '96 Cobra-suspension advice

    I own a slightly modified 96 Cobra with 69k miles. The suspension is original stock. I'm considering Max. Mot. Starter Box which includes H&R race springs, cast/camb plates, pinion snubber, Bilstein sport-valved struts/shocks and spring isolators. They're asking $ 1,118. Is this the right way to...

    Demolet CAI questions

    I own a 96 Cobra. I recently purchased a Demolet CAI (system #4). I thought the down-pipe (with filter) were to be installed inside the fenderwell, but it will not fit due to an obstructing smog-pump (I think that's what it is). I've read that I can delete the down-pipe altogether, and attach...

    brake help

    I own a stock, 96 Cobra which I'm gradually modifying. The brakes have lost a lot of grip (of no surprise). Hawk pads have been recommended, along with stainless steel lines, and possibly sanding the rotors. I need advice. Also, should I be considering a greater/bigger caliper/rotor...

    96 Cobra questions

    My stock 96 Cobra needs tires. Is there a brand and size that offers both great grip (straight-line speeds) and handling? I'm currently running (almost bald) 255/45/17 Yokohama A 520's. Should I go with 275 tires? Also, would switching to different rims (size, type or whatever) improve...
