Ran my Auto conversion Cobra vert to the track.....

Ran my Auto conversion Cobra vert at the track.....

I purchased a 2003 10th ANV. Convertible with an Automatic conversion done to it back in Dec. I took it Steele Al. and ran it back in Jan. 6th for the first time and was I ever pleased. Mods include the Auto conversion w/PI converter, Metco 8lb lower along with supporting tensioners, Mach 1 automatic computer tuned with SCT X2, SCT mass air meter w/K&N filter, IRS brace, Polyurathane(sp?) bushings, Kenny Brown lowering springs, M/T ET street drag radials(275/40/17), other than what is listed it is Bone Stock. Car is a blast to drive as I have always been a fan of automatics, it has got a best of 19.5 mpg and a worst of 13mpg. This is my 3rd 03/04 Cobra and by far my most enjoyable only thing I hate is having to put a bolt in cage in it if I run any events (FFW,NMRA,NMCA,ect). I have seen people asking about auto conversions but nobody post real world data as far as MPG and drive ability, I'm here to tell it is awesome!!! Fun at the track to boot!! Can't wait to put more mods and get it faster.
Best pass:
60'ft: 1.58

YES, Bone stock exhaust!!
My first pass was a 1.63, 7.54, [email protected] I thought ok maybe there was a problem with the lights I couldn't believe it. I was amazed myself can't wait to uncork it.

Awesome I always wanted to convert my 03 when I had it and leave the IRS in it as well. Most people swap to a solid at the same time but and auto IRS car will be lethal as you have just proven!

Nice times!

Sure thing. I've actually thought of coming up that way. I'd love to run at Atco or MIR. Get some of that mineshaft air on a good hookin track.:rockon:

:rockon: Awesome times!

What size converter/stall ?

 

[JeffreyKirkland]

:rockon: Awesome times!

What size converter/stall ?

Thanks EVERYONE!!! The conversion was done to the car when I purchased it so I am not real sure on the size of the Converter but it will stall almost to 3000 if I get against it hard. I ran it last weekend at a local 1/8 mile track just to try to learn more about the car and learned that if I stall it up to approx. 2200 and flash the converter it does alot better than raising it up to 2800 or above. I will go thru some of the paperwork to see if I find some part numbers........
Thanks again,
Jeffrey

1.58 on mt et streets? 26 tall dam, not bad , does it get squirrly on the top end any?

Not at all!! However I started with 18lb of air pressure for that reason because I had not ran the car before so I wanted to get comfortable before it started moving around. Then it cut a 1.63 with a terrible burnout so I thought I would try the same air pressure again with a decent burnout and it resulted in the 1.58 so I left it alone and went to the house!!! LOL...

 

[RedRocketMike]

wow thats a great everything. 11.6 with a 115mph trap speed is really impressive.

 

[ViciousJay]
