Lots of roasted pistons. Is the basic pulley'd Cobra safe?

[QUOTE="nuxx, post: 1259908, member: 8661"] [B]ALL IN THE TUNE[/B] That's all I can say. If you have a good tune, you'll be set. Even though I think my tune is ok, I still want to get a better, "safer" one. I had the Predator on both my 03 and 04, I think in the end going the dyno tuned chip route is the only choice. Also the type of driving you do... I hardly go WOT and try to never pass 6k. If you got WOT 10, 20, 30 + times a day and hit the redline, I don't think your car will last very long... Also keeping in WOT for over 15-20 seconds will pretty much kill the engine, esp. in higher gears... Mods like headers should help too, they help get heat away from the engine. Heat exchanger is a good idea, cold plugs, etc... When I get my 2lb lower put on, I'll probably get some headers too, then get the car retuned to around 11.5:1 across, and starting at a lower RPM. My tune right now has 13.x:1 until ~ 3k where it hits 12.1:1. But yeah... I'm more paranoid than anyone that my car is a ticking timebomb... but if it goes, I have a few aces in my sleeve :D -Peter [/QUOTE]
