Thinking about doing some work on my 97 cobra. Right now all it has are some bolt-ons. What can I add to keep the car N/A. The car has about 56k on it. I would like to superchager it, But money little tight for that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

have your heads ported and polished, your intake ported and polished, and do an IMRC delete. By the way, was your car dyno'd on a mustang dyno or a dynojet?

Awesome man i'm hoping to break 300 rwhp with my mods. All of my mods are in my sig as well as dynomax ultra flow ss mufflers instead of the flow 40s, and i'm going to do a few maintenance things such as spark plugs, seafoam, and fuel filter before i put it on the dyno just to make sure i'm getting as much power as possible.

how's the SCT Xcaliber? You should make more since you have the chip. A friend of mine is pushing 320 with a chip, mass air with only 10k on the motor.

the xcal2 is super easy to use. My tune however is just a mailorder tune for my mods (no dyno) from americanmuscle.com. If i made 320 I will crap my pants. I was just hoping for 300 but 320 sounds amazing. Does your friend have anything more than the chip and mass air? Was he on the mustang dyno also?

I'd get a JLT and a dyno tune. And swap the 3.73s for 4.30s :thumbsup: and get a 31 spline rear end, oh and subframe connectors.

I'm made a mistake he dyno at 303hp 298tq not 320. All he has is bbk catless X, magnaman packs and Sct tune at XX Tuning. I would like to know what gain can I get from Sct chip.

I'm really hoping for 310+ on the dyno. I just put straight-through race mufflers on and am about to do spark plugs, seafoam, and fuel filter before i dyno.

303rwhp without long tubes? I find that hard to beleive...especially when Mustang dynos read much lower than dynojets.
