What's up guys? I have been a member since a few months after I bought my cobra and I'm finally getting the winter time itch. I haven't really done a whole lot of modification to any car that I've had just maintenance so I'm because blind here except for what some of you have already posted or told me directly. I tried to read as much as possible before posting this so that I don't hit you with completely redundant questions but I'm still so undecided and I continuously get conflicting information when it comes to brands or mods. hoping to clear that up a bit with this thread.
I want to be absolutely certain before I go buying parts and throwing them at the car. Basically right now what I have on the car is just a CAI and header back exhaust with really nothing else performance wise done to the car.
2.76" pulley and idler set
I am looking to do a 2.76 pulley and I want to know whether or not I should get the single idler with the SC pulley or the s/c pulley and the 3 idlers? I have read that the 3 is just for a more secure belt to prevent slip but then others say that the stock pulley setup is just going to explode with the stock ones on there. my questions begin with what pulleys do the idlers replace? is the 3 pulley set that much better? if I do install a smaller pulley do I need to/should I change the SC oil?
heat exchanger
I heard some say do it and some say its useless. opinions on the LFP H.E.? I also have heard some say not to give them a dime because they screwed someone over so I'm also open to other brands especially to support another member.
head cooling mod
is this something I should do before I do the pulley? is it vital regardless? any particular brand over another? not looking to do a custom kit because again I'm not exactly familiar with this whole custom idea.
oil catch can/separator
I keep finding people that do their own fabrication and install so I cant imagine it would be super difficult to do I just don't know what materials to use. I was looking at someone's thread where they created it using braided fuel lines and it looked really good as well extremely neat and hidden. something I definitely want to do and wouldn't mind custom making if I had some more details as far as that build. I'm currently waiting on that person to get back to me about some more specifics for it so hopefully that comes through.
I found on this forum a thread about HP levels and what needs to be done at each level and I don't plan on going over 500hp yet so I figured that fuel could wait until then but I just wanted to run that by you guys seeing as how you have more experience in that area.
I am definitely doing the IRS brace and spark plugs. I have found that almost everyone here seems to have faith in the TR6's so that's the plug I will most likely go with. I have RP Synchromax for the trans and RP MaxGear for the differential so when I do the brace ill grab a new diff cover as well and just swap out the fluid then. also have a new fuel filter just waiting to be installed.
seriously appreciate any information that you guys can provide. gladly accept any and all of it.
