show me you F1A setups.

[01yellercobra]

I was toying with the idea of going with an On3 turbo since my D1 is officially dead. But I think I'll switch over to an an F1A instead. I still have all my stuff from the D1. There was a video of a Mach 1 on the same page as Derek's Cobra and in the driving around part and the F1A didn't seem to bad noise wise. I think I'm going to have to run a 4.5" pulley to get anything below 20psi with my overdrive crank pulley though.

$15,500 its anybodys.. its black 03 cobra 23k miles. The whole car needs paint. clear title .. never wrecked.

So whats the benefit of the f1 over a turbo on an 03 cobra? dont see many f1 setups.

And what exactly does this car have done to it? Besides the F1a

Besides being different like someone already said, A more favorable power band to put the power to the ground, especially if your rear wheel drive. Also, sounds ****ing amazing.

Yea thats where i was wondering cause I would imagine the procharger and a turbo share pretty much the same style powerband. I hope people dont think im bashing Prochargers i am truly learning this side of things. Im an LSX guy and just picked my cobra up 2 months ago. Never really did much research between the two.

I know I'm going to get criticized for this, but the best way to put it in simply terms is a turbo has an exponential increase in power, with would mean it would heavily increase very fast and almost "hit" boost? The centri is more of a linear power curve which allows for keeping traction a little bit better. I mean, it makes sense. Think about it, if one car has its power all of the sudden rush to the rear wheels within a second it's probably going to break traction. But if it comes on in a linear fashion, you have a better chance of staying planted.

I can say this, if you have the red race open bov it's very loud and can get annoying, peoPle say my car sounds like a jet coming down the road.

What screen set ups is everyone running? I'm ditching my intake/filter setup.

made my own using a stainless steel collander. procharger one is 120 bux-outrageous

 

[shortbus03]

Was talking to encaedmetal via pm and he thought I should mention this in here about my set up.

On the dyno with the filter set up I have on the car now, which consists of a 90 elbow to a k&n filter I lost about 40whp versus no filter/no piping. The small piping and filter can be very restrictive.

 

[01yellercobra]

Is anyone running an aftermarket radiator with the F1A? It looks like space is at a premium with that blower.

Ron Davis radiator- moved underneath core support so fan would clear.

Here's My setup...

I am not a fan of procharger the company, but the result was good... All pump gas

For people running the screen, any issues??

none so far....

 

[vadorsnake04]

this thread is def. getting me excited to finish my F1 setup, all i have left to do is the aluminum intercooler piping to be fabbed up.

 

[redcollection8]

25psi put down 740whp

Here's a idle video where you can hear the F1A. Just click the image.

wont dust and stuff get into the blower without that filter on it?

im considering ditching the filter on my paxton blower and just running a screen.

 

[itSSlow98]

Never been a fan of screens cause you just never know. And rebuilds on those things are expensive. I'd find a less restrictive intake/filter or deal with the power loss personally.
