Is anybody familiar with project superfly, a 97 cobra that is n/a and was covered in mm&ff magazine? I was wondering what mods were done to the car and its final rwhp and torque #'s.
Thanks

Thanks, I have already found that though and im looking for the specific article(s) or some info on the exact modifications done, im trying to build a similar car.
Good luck bro. I remember trying to look for that info before myself. I could only find like 1 article online. Spent hours going through my old mags to see if I had it too. If you look up an article called "remember the titans" it deals with a cam swap on that car. Might be good unless u already found it
Ive got a mag around here somewhere that has it in it, but from what i remember it had 355rwhp. Ill look and get back to you.
ok i found it its in the june 2004 issue if you have it if not heres the stats, 355rwhp and 309rwtq, it had a sean hyland built motor it just says higher compression doesnt give an exact number and it had comp camshafts,full exhaust and a msd dig 4 box.
Also had screamin demon coil packs and live wires, and it was bored .020 over and made 405 SAE HP.

LOL, my wife just made me throw out about 3 years worth of mmff mags!! I know it was in some of them.
For a car that went high 11s with those upgrades, it seems like a lotta money was thrown into that car...
There are examples of bolt on 96-98 Cobra cars running similar numbers with much less $ into them, and with a stock long block...
I have a June 1998 issue and it mentions the following:
March underdrive pulleys
4.30 gears
Sean Hyland chip
C&L 80mm MAF
Bassani X

Well i read everything right out of the magazine,not going from memory, and it had a road setup for the suspension thats why it only went into the 11s.And if they had a C&L they took it off for the dyno day they had at SLP cause it shows a pic of the engine and it has a stock intake and even the box.
Dont bother going that route. There are guys on this board who have made 400rwhp N/A on a built engine with increased compression, C heads, ported 99-01 intake, and cams (106400's seem to do the trick).
PM na_svt and ask him his thoughts.

+1.
But that car wasn't design correctly for the strip (as someone mentioned road race suspension). But back then it was kinda impressive. I don't think it cracked the 400rwhp w/ b-heads. I could be wrong though.

it was a good roadrace car,in one issue i think was hanging with a new gt(40).
It had ported heads, short runner intake, long tubes, cams (106400s I think) and it made a little over 350rwhp
You can get good power out of B heads with the right parts. The problem is that most people spend the money on parts that don't provide good bang for the buck.
I'll look for the issue
I can get ya a lot more power for less money.

I remember it having 11.1 compression. Same here, I think I threw out those issues years ago.
yeahh, i would be content with 330 rwhp.. so far i just have long tubes, full exhaust, and a cold air intake. would the addition of a TB, short runner intake, IMRC delete, and possibly underdrive pulleys/tune get me anywhere close to those #'s??? Ideally I would love to do heads/cams also but I dont wanna pull the motor..
330 is very had to get with a stock motor/cams but can be done with what you listed and some cam redegreeing. A TB is not needed at this power level but a 90mm maf may help.
thanks for all the help too btw
I think I'd would have made 330rwhp if I removed my power steering and used race gas. But at the time I dyno'd it gas was over 3$ a gal for 93 so I said the hec with $7+ a gal for 110 octane. lol.
