My 04 cobra's VMP Gen 2 TVS swap

[2011 gtcs]

My cobra did put down some crazy numbers for a ported eaton on pump gas (523whp & 555wtq) but as usually not enough power for me, so down the rabbit hole I go lol. I decided that the VMP Gen2 TVS would be a better choice than a 2.9. The car gets dyno tuned on the 8th. I'm hoping for 600whp and 600wtq on pump gas. anyway here are some pictures of the swap. I also ditched my 315 R888s for a set of 315 hoosiers. I'll update the thread once I have new numbers

Sick dude. God I wish my cobra was as clean as yours

Looks good and you'll be glad you went TVS. I don't know what the deal is with your engine bay but it looks really really open/uncluttered.

Very clean engine bay and interested in your numbers. Been thinking about the VMP for a while now

Thank you, and me too, If it makes 600whp I'll be happy. I want the tune to be very safe.

Thanks man, I'm happy how it all came out.

It helps that the EGR, EVAP and PCV systems have all be deleted. it's crazy how much that clutters up the engine, and the blue valve covers look killer

So nice!
Can't wait to see the numbers she puts down.

Congrats...no reason why you won't see 600+ hp....good luck

Looks great. Did you change idlers too. Before pics look like billetflow and after pic looks like metco. If so why the change?
Also I think the bay looks so open due to the coolant tanks not being installed yet

Yeah I ditched the billetflow idler. It actually sits a lot higher than the Metco idlers and was hitting the TVS and I personally think the Metco's look so much cleaner. So I'm switching over to all metco pulleys.

That's awesome man, I would be very happy with those numbers. A 600whp cobra is a lot of fun.

Thanks buddy

Thanks, and even on the cars current base tune the TVS is super responsive, the car just wants to run lol. I'm excited to see what she makes.

Come on Brad it'll be fun. It'll also open up a whole bunch of other mods to spend $$$$$ on

That's the issue Mike...Blower, fuel system, injectors, maf, clutch, spline, rims and tires. Can I do all that for $4K? Lol
