FYI the mods would only add value to someone if the person buying it saw value in the mods. I sold my 97 Cobra with a whole new motor etc etc, for just waht the motor cost to install and build. not taking into account it has suspension, a rear end, rims, etc etc. I'm guessing your car has a value between $6500 and $8000.

I let my Cobra go for 10 and it had 90K on the clock and 15K on the motor.

I would,however, like to see some pics of this car.

Nice numbers! The higher compression is what netted you more power def. I was gonna go high compresssion on my 02 GT. Post some pics!

i really dont know where we can meet... ill be posting pics and a vid of the car...only issue is the ac compressor went out, but that will be fixed with a fresh one this week. I guess a bearing went out on it. This car is awesome i just need something better on gas... theres a vid of the motor on www.racerelated.com

this has been my daily driver for almost 2 and a half years... driveability is awesome and gas mileage is great for a car of this caliber.... I am moving and will be making a lot of highway trip 150 miles each way...so this car is not feasable.

you going to post pics??

Why did you take the headers off? What is the story with the rebuild? Why did you chose the route you did? I am not saying its a bad setup, but why not forge everything. Or why start with a GT motor? Just curious!

if you would rather email me thats cool too - [email protected]

pics will be up by tomorrow night...i bought this motor already built like this from a good friend of mine who owns racerelated. It is a n/a high compression motor and does not need to be forged... This motor would be great for nitrous.As far as the headers, i couldnt afford them at the time, and couldnt pass this motor up. Im telling you its awesome, i put a lot of money into this car and its going to be hard to let it go.
