Drove it to Vegas over the weekend. Managed to take 3rd place in the SN95/New Edge category. Not bad for a car with 119k on the odo.
Very cool. What took 1st and 2nd?
75 in Ohio I drove it.

I'm honestly not sure. The show got rained out and the awards were announced over Instagram. I didn't even know I won anything until someone tagged me. There was a nice turboed 96 Cobra that I hope took something. Otherwise it was probably one of the clubs playing favorites.
Bringing your car to the Turkey Run at the end of the month?
Not sure, I typically go on Friday but my buddy I usually go with has to work. I may cruise down, always a good time.
Started disassembling the car - I'm getting a rattle sound on cold start up that has me thinking primary chain tensioner...
What's the general consensus for replacement? The solid metal ones with a ratchet that were found in the earlier mod motors? Or can I just stick with the newer plastic style? Car has 130k.

The bezels are a nice look, and new OEM headlights are always a plus. Nice looking Cobra!
Gotta love Competition Orange. Nice mods! Awesome looking car. The chrome factory wheels really look good.
If you're going maybe I'll see you there? It will be my first time, just registered my car a couple weeks ago.
Me personally I’d just replace with Ford OEM. I know people that went aftermarket on the 5.4 stuff and it bite them and shortly down the road had to do it again. Check out Autonation of White Bear Lake good prices fast shipping.

Thanks Bob. Agreed a co-worker an I had a debate on that he said he thinks black wheels would look better. I told him I disagree to each there own. I think chrome pops better with CO. I probably have a week before she gets put up for the winter.

yeah that's kinda what i was thinking too patrick, since the plastic ones lasted this long.
you ever watch that fordtechmakuloco youtube channel? i think he is pretty good. he shows a lot of the newer style with the rear gaskets blowing out (but again most of them with high mileage)
I have never entered my car in the show, just looked and walked through the swap meet, etc. It is a BIG show, lots of cool rides, I will say hi if I see ya
That’s what I would go with Chris. Yes I have I subscribed to his channel. Very informative and good information.

While the weather was still warm I got it out and got the low speed driveability dialed in with the 210lb injectors and E85. Odd how where the transient (manifold volume) ended up was so far from where it should have been. With the scaling it should have been around 1.5L, but it works great at 12. I wonder if it just goes by pulsewidth/ticks and not fuel mass/injector slope. The Quarterhorse made dialing it in in real time a breeze though.
Downside is no more WOT pulls until I fix the exhaust. I'm still getting bit by the old fabricator's work. Turns out that with where the downpipe is routed on the driver's side, the tie rod hits the exhaust and pulls it off when it picks up the nose enough. I guess he didn't anticipate that, but I guess it is impressive that it's pulling the nose up high enough to do that.

Wash the cobra with some Meguiars Wash and wax soap. Checking out the water beading. Dried off with 4 water magnets towels and applied some P&S Bead Maker for a slick and smooth surface. It still needs a good detail once I get some time.
