    how much hp can the stock engine handle?

    I'm already at 420/536 to the wheels. I feel like doing more stuff to the truck, even though I swore I would never after the header install. I'm thinking about getting the blower ported, maybe a better heat exchanger. The truck is a daily driver (sold my 94 and 03 cobra). Thanks John

    Anyone running 0w-30 in their trucks?

    I have a case of 0w-30 amsoil that was meant for my 03 cobra. I traded in the cobra for the lightning. And I can get amsoil for about 5 bucks a quart. I'm running 0w-20 mobil 1 right now with no problems. thanks john

    Went to the dyno today

    I went to Johnny Lightning Performance. I have to say he is one of the nicest person you will ever meet, along with his wife. And his staff is great also. My best was a 419.6 rwhp and 535.9 rwt with the mods in my sig. The first run the truck was breaking up, I couldn't tell driving it...

    just installed longtubes, midpipe and magnaflow catback

    I put on the dynatech longtubes. Great quality header, the best I've seen so far. Their instructions suck. These things are a bitch to put on. The drivers side wasn't that bad, but the passenger side was damn near impossible. I would recommend doing this in a shop or pay someone to do it...

    Holy supercharger noise

    I just installed the accufab TB, motoblue 95mm mass air system, and the C&L elbow. When I hit the gas full throttle, the only thing i could hear was the whine from the supercharger. It was about 3 times louder than stock. It has to be the most evil sound a car can make. As for...

    How do you take the lower pulley off

    I have the special tool and the torque converter lock up tool also. How the hell does everyone break the torque on the pulley loose? I thought I was bench pressing the truck, I swear the tires came off the ground a few times as I tried to bust it loose. Do I need a lift? Thanks john

    I'm now a lightning owner, an 04 DSG

    I traded in my 03 cobra for the 04 DSG lightning. I couldn't see spending $1200 a year on insurance for a car that sat in the garage. And my 03 had the head tick, the stall, rear end clunk, the vibe, and I couldn't stand the how the car shifted at cruising speeds, real clunky. Loved the speed...

    Raced a 2004 ZO6 with my 03 cobra

    We went from a 45 mph roll and I told to hit and then I would go. He gets the jump due to him going first, and in 2nd I pull up next to him. Then I hear him hit the rev limiter, so I granny shift into third trying to make it a good race, engine for engine, I don't want driver error to be the...

    Can't believe it, I fixed the stall.

    I took out my diablosport chip and my car hasn't stalled in 5 days, which it usually does everyday. My car had a previous re-flash and the chip was re-burnt for it, but it still had the stall. Can this be possible? john

    Does anyone elses cobra engine vibrate between 1200 and 1500 rpms?

    I pulled it in the garage and felt a pretty good vibration in between 1200 and 1500 rpms. So I just rev it up to 1500 rpms and sure enough the car was vibrating. The car was out of gear and the clutch was not depressed. I was just sitting there. It's a low frequency. After 1500 rpms it runs...

    Need help. Don't I get a car if I turn my 03 cobra in for warranty work

    The local SVT dealer here in town (which are complete jackasses), told me they have a shuttle service. I told them I get "SVT premium service" so I got put on hold and she came back to tell me they would get me a car from enterprise car rental. I thought I was supposed to get a nice car, not a...
