Got the Cobra back up and running after snapping a secondary timing chain tensioner and discovering that both heads were trashed (Cam Journals looked like they were touched up with some sand paper). Bought the car last October and put less then 20 miles on it before having to do a rebuild. Discovered through the rebuild that his car was hacked together. One of the previous owner made 638whp on a dynojet with 80lb injectors, Stock MAF, Mac Longtubes and Ford GT PUMPS and supposedly made 650/650 on race gas.
Mods:
Diamond Pistons .020 over
Stock Rods and Crank
Kooks 1 3/4 headers with 3 inch to 2.5 X Pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder Catback
Lethal Performance 1400hp return kit with walbro 465's
ID1000
Kenne Bell 2.6 with 3'' upper and 4 pound lower
Stock Heads and Cams
3.73 Gears
JLT intake
VMP3000 MAF
After 2 hours of tuning and only allowing the car to cool down for a half hour the final pull was 633whp and 553 torque on a Mustang Dyno. Car was seeing 21psi , 19 degrees of timing and was tuned on E85.
Outside temp was 85 degrees with 67% humidity.
I'm thinking on a cooler day and on a dyno jet the car could see close to 700whp. Thoughts?
