Dude I'll tell you this, when I first had my Cobra with stock sway bars, I would corner canyon roads at 45 MPH if my life depended on it at the very edge of the tire, after I added a front sway bar (not sure how big, but much bigger than stock), my car completely transformed. Cornered incredibly...

I might have not mentioned I'm decided to stay N/A.

So by the rules of "maybe" logic, if I went with 10.5:1, 50 whp? On MMR, it's giving me a choice, for bore size I chose 0.020, piston size has an option for 0.020 oversize but I should leave that one to standard right?

Guys excuse the title I mean 11:1 so 11.0:1 not 11.1:0

What HP increase are we looking at upping the 01 Cobras compression to 11:1? Increased gas mileage too? This is of course if I'm planning on staying N/A. What dish size would I need to have this done?

Sorry to dig the thread back up, I decided on -6cc to lower the compression a bit but not much, just wondering if I stayed N/A for now, how much less power would I have? Also since I'm going with a .20 overbore, do all my bearings need to be 0.20 oversized as well? Thanks

I feel like we have a responsibility to warn new Cobra owners about this when they make their first thread from now on haha

I changed the oil like 2 months ago, I put exactly 6.2

Sorry I meant quarts, yup, I'm guessing if I did put 7 quarts instead of 6.2 I wouldn't have this expensive problem right now... thanks ford.

so apparently the spun rod bearing is a common problem because at high revs the heads get more oil built up then the shortblock so the factory stated 6.2l of oil isn't enough, so for future purposes do I put 7 liters of oil? 5w-20 or 30? I had 30 in last time, maybe should be thinner.

Thanks for all the help guys, I decided to re use my crank, but the thing I'm really confused about is how to get the compression I want, so I decided on 9.5:1 for my turbo setup, going with MMR for my internals, standard 3.525 Stroke, what does my dish have to be to get that ratio?

Just wondering, I'm deciding on the Eagle -4CC top, it says compression ratio of 10.8:1 with 52CC, pretty sure the 01 Cobra is 54CC so I'm guessing it'll be in the 9s? https://www.lethalperformance.com/eagle-4-6l-4v-complete-302-stroker-kit-assembly-w-forged-crankshaft-4cc-pistons-020-over.html

My car has 130k miles you sure the stock crank is still good? It has no physical damage.

My crank is fine, It's just that if I'm rebuilding my engine, might as well change that out too to make sure if something does happen in the future I don't have to go through hell again..

So 9.1:1 would be better? I thought so as well.
