380 crank horsepower should be relatively easy to obtain. The last time I dyno'd my 99 cobra it was 321 hp and 319 tq at the wheels which is around 370ish at the crank. All I had on the engine were as followed, JLT Ram intake, BBK throttle body, mild porting on intake manifold, intake spacer...

Are there any regular mustang meets/cruises in the south bay area? Moved to San Jose a year ago and am craving some good meets or cruises with other mustang folks. I know there is Stang Up Fam in the bay but besides Facebook its hard to find info on meets. I drive a 99 cobra that has a...

I just moved from Seattle WA to San Jose, Washington's emission laws are pretty relaxed, they test via the ODB 2 system so I am able to run with no cats and no EGR with the computer tuned so ODB 2 reads just fine. Any tips on getting my car smog inspected down here? Im guessing I will need...

Going out on a limb......does anyone know of any modular engine builders that are in the northwest? Im located in seattle and really dont want to send my motor states away for a rebuild. Thanks

Im in the process of laying out plans for a rebuild on my 99. Im doing to do a simple rebuild, stock compression, forged internals, new 99/01 heads with some mild porting, just want to build a solid reliable motor. My question is, am I stupid to think about adding a stroker kit to it...

Ive got a 99 cobra with just over 130k miles, Ive starting getting smoke on start up as well as smoke while driving. Did a compression test and it came back good, not great. So I think my valve seals are leaking as well as my rings might be starting to go. So, Ive been thinking of a rebuild...

Ive had my cobra dyno tuned a little while ago, ever since I got the tune I get tailpipe smoke when I come to a stop after driving on the highway at speeds. The engine also drops the rpms and almost stalls and then its all over, no smoke and no rpm dropping. The strange thing is that it only...

I have a quick question, I am trying to clear code P1000, OBD readiness test not complete, so I can pass emissions. Ive done a lot of research about the ford drive cycle and have driven over 300 miles etc etc and still p1000 does not clear. Ive returned my cobra to its stock tune, reconnected...

While changing the oil on my 99 cobra I noticed something very very wierd, on the driver side motor mount the rear bolt is missing and there is no hole in the block for a bolt to go into. WTF!! Is this some error in manufacturing, this cant be normal, anyone seen this before?

Am I able to remove my sway bar without dropping the IRS? From the looks of it, I think the answer is no. My sway bar is bent and it needs replacing. Thanks

I have run into a very strange problem that I need some help with. My rear sway bar link comes in contact with my axle/halfshaft while hard cornering or going over large bumps. A few weeks ago while changing my rear brake pads I found my driver side sway bar bushing braket was broken in two...

I found a PHP ported/polished intake manifold for sale in my area for a decent price and want to know if its a good deal. The upper intake has been hand polished and the lower has been extruded honed instead of being cut open, ported and polished and then welded back together. I would think...
