[QUOTE="MattACK, post: 13855577, member: 135125"] A buddy of mine was trying to get me to put a 2.8 upper on the car while we had the blower off and I was about to so okay if he had a belt for it. With the shroud on you can barely see the pulley. Ended up keeping the stock wagon wheel on it. Why you ask, well because a good friend of mine started porting and does some pretty decent work. For $250 shipped both ways he ported the blower, throttle body, and inlet. After having a Lightning that runs 10s in street trim, I don't really need a full bolt-on cobra to go fast. Now that being said... maximizing the potential of a basically stock cobra will be fun and it is much less likely to have any problems in the course of doing so. I got the car put back together this morning and drove the car home this afternoon on a rough tune that I put in the car about 6 months ago without a wideband. The car felt noticeably stronger and once I checked the wideband I just installed, I was hitting between 10.0 and 10.3 A/F at WOT :uh oh: and my I/C pump died. Charge temps were staying below 100* since ambient was around 40 so I kept playing with it. Took it back out tonight after work and worked the tune a little to put it back to a 12.0 at WOT tune and holy shit does it pull hard for a stock boost car! :eek: I'm hitting about 10psi and am pegging out the MAF at 6700rpms. I found nxs450's thread where he dyno'd his car with almost the exact same mods I have except that I have a catted x-pipe and his car made 401/371 on a Dyno Dynamics dyno, so it is more like 430ish on a dynojet. My last cobra was pullied to 15psi, intake/exhaust, and it made 460/450 to the wheels.... to be honest this stock boost car doesn't feel like it is much less than a 430-440 rwhp car in this cool weather. For only having a K&N filter in the stock airbox, ported TB/Inlet/Blower, catted bassani x-pipe, and magnaflow catback... I'm very impressed how it has responded. I hope to have it on a dynojet in a month or two to verify power output and will post up my results. [/QUOTE]
