    Anyone planning a E85 '13 GT500?

    Boost guys seem to love E85 and there's plenty of it around me (middle of IL). Is anyone planning this for their '13?

    Lead time for ordering later this year?

    If I am planning to purchase a GT500 this time next year and I want to order it to my specs, when should I start talking to dealers and actually place the order? We have a number of things being paid off next February so I can't take on another payment before then. So I'd like to line it up...

    Anyone using the "Interceptor Gauge Cluster" in your car?

    MRT (http://www.mustangracing.com/) is listing a new gauge cluster that has a nice trim ring around each gauge. I've posted the following questions on their website. 1) What is the redline and MPH limit? 2) Will it work for 03/04 Cobra w/ the understanding that there is no boost...

    Thinking out loud - any lower intake mods?

    I remember seeing a post not too long ago that had a CAD pic that someone played around with and said it would be possible to port the lower intake a bit to allow for better air flow entering the heads. Beyond those pics has anyone actually tried anything with this? I tried searching for the pic...

    Questions on home porting TB & plenum

    I'm thinking about trying my hand at porting my TB and plenum myself. Does anyone have any pics they can share of finished products from either porting they have done them selves or the ports done by some of the professional shops around? Also, has anyone tried porting themselves and found it...

    New Q about heat exchangers (nothing in search)

    My question has to do with the need for fans. At what speed of the car will the fans become no longer useful? IE: If the car is moving at xx miles an hour the same amount of air is being pushed through the HE as when the car is at idle and the HE fans are turned on. I'm basically trying to...

    Anyone try Nitto's new 305/35/18 555R (DR) yet?

    Title says it all. It won't come up in a search on Tirerack but searching Discount Tire's website I found it. I wonder how these would fit and if I'd need to shave down the IRS bolt for them... Hmm...

    How do you make 315s work w/ 18" AFR rims?

    How do you make 315s work w/ 18" AFS rims? I have 295 Kumho tires on my 18" AFS rims right now and they are almost completely bald after 8,000 miles. At first they weren't bad but as time went on they got easier and easier to spin, so they started to wear very rapidly. I'd like to try a good...

    Does the weight of the pulley make a difference?

    Ok, here's the setup. The first pulley I had on my car was a 2.93 and it was made out of aluminum. I then switched to a 2.80 but judging by how much more the thing weighs it must be made out of iron. Do you think there would be anything gained by going with an aluminum 2.80? My current 2.8...

    Plasma Booster - any new info?

    So does anyone out there have the Plasma Booster or another similar ignition product hooked up to their car yet? I've read the old posts but haven't seen it mentioned in quite a while.

    2.93 + 4lb lower = how much hp/tq?

    I have a couple questions but my main one is how much Hp/Tq should I expect from a 2.93 upper and 4lb lower combined with a CAI, hi-flow catted H pipe, and cat back? The rest of this post is why I want to know this ;-) Initially I had a Diablo chip from AR burned for a 2.93 upper, Steeda...

    Need help with belt size. Thx in advance

    I'm currently using a 74.5" Gates belt and want to try a Gatorback belt but am unsure what size to go with. On the SFPHQ website they suggest a 74" belt for the 2.93 pulley that I'm running, but after taking the gates belt on/off a half dozen times I don't see how a shorter belt would work...

    LS1 Vette + roots blower + NOS = BOOM!

    Not exactly '03 Cobra related, but it is interesting to see what the competition is doing to try to keep up with us :-p http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=608415

    lightest rims possible for our cars?

    I would like to get new rims for my car in either 17" or 18" but I'm only interested in getting new ones if they are lighter than the stock ones. If money was not part of the equation, what are the best/lightest rims available in either a highly polished or chrome finish? I'm having a hard...

    How unsafe is a 12.2 A/F ratio?

    I had my car dyno'd for the first time over the weekend and wanted to know what everyone thought about what I saw on the A/F ratio. Power was right about where I expected for my mods, 433 Hp and 444 Tq. The A/F from 3-4k was 13 and from 4-6k it was right around 12.2. Then from 6k-redline it...

    Any good catted H pipes?

    Everyone seems to be going with X pipes and from the discussions I've read it seems that when people switch from their stock H to an X (either catted or not) that is when they start getting the drone (as opposed to when they install the cat-back). So, are there any good catted H pipes out...

    Where to jack up rear of car?

    So I've had my car for one week now so it's time for my mods :) I've ordered Steeda's CAI and cat back and it's supposed to be here today so I'm going to do the install tonight. At the same time I'm just about the pass 500 miles so I'm going to change the oil. To get the front of the car up I...

    Gas Guzzler tax question

    I'm finalizing the deal now for my '03 Cobra and have a quesiton about the gas guzzler tax. Do I have to pay sales tax on the gas guzzler tax? If so that almost seems like double taxation. I'm waiting for my sales person to fax me the final numbers and breakdown but thought I would ask what...

    '03 Cobra vs '04 Cobra?

    I'm considering getting a new Cobra but one of the things I have to work around is that my wife and I are building a house we won't close on it until the end of June. Because of that the earliest I could get one is the first week of July. When will the last '03 Cobras be built? I'm also...
