For everything there is to know about the car with a ton to download and then some - if you are in to actually reading -----> www.terminator-cobra.com
Have a Whipple on mine as well and the manual from them is in there with lots more detail. You can also download the real Ford service manual - highly advised.

You need to stay active to message. Seeing you just got up and running again, it'll be a bit.
interesting how with all those hard-core chassis and suspension modifications done for competitive road racing, your uncle kept the stock wheel and tire size. they must perform pretty well...
svt must have known what they were doing!

AWESOME!!
It's wonderful to see when these cars stay in the family. As well as when they create new members to our SVT family!!
Comgrats!!

Well the IRS ran hot as did the motor, he made everything bigger, radiator, cooling mod, suppose to be a larger intercooler under the blower and the fluidyne heat exhanger, ran coolers on the trans and the IRS. He finally got the car really dialed in and now he's 65 and doesn't feel like spending 4k every time he goes for a weekend of racing. He literally would burn up a set of hoosiers in one day would need two sets to get through the weekend. Same thing for pads and rotors. He said the stoptech rotors actually lasted a full 5 weekends before needing replaced. He originally went to the R setup but those would get burned up quick too.
On the rear he did complain the wheel hubs don't last period. I told him the only option was some billet spindles with race hubs but he didn't want to go that far with it. He always tells me the car was the fastest thing out there outside of the few dedicated track cars that were stripped or an occasional corvette. Nothing else would touch him.
The tire size he did run a 19" for awhile too. I don't know exactly what all comes with the car but he does have ALL oem parts down to bolts properly labeled and also includes the 3 extra sets of wheels/tires he used during his racing. I'll find out all the goodies this June.
I hope I can continue what he started and take it to COTA and keep the car doing what it does best. I'll end up dragging it more but I refuse to change the suspension. It'll be a road racing streetable dragster weekend warrior does everything great just as SVT intended it to be.
Thank you for the nice comments.
