    modded 03 Cobra vs. (modded??) 02 Z06

    This was about the 4th race against a Z06. I'm driving along and I look over to the right and a blue Z06 is right next to me. The guy looks at me and gives a smile and thumbs up. He slows, I slow to about 30 MPH. I give him the jump. I pulled to his bumper and stayed there. We had to back...

    ANYONE TRY RUNNING HER IN THE SNOW YET???

    We got 8 inches of snow yesterday. Drove the SUV. Almost HAD to drive te 03 Cobra today, but car-pooled with my wife. My 91 Stang went ok in about 3 inches with weight. I figured if I took 2 - 45 lb plates off my weight set and put them in the trunk. Filled up the tank... I'd be good to...

    BLUE OVAL NEWS UPDATE... WHATS UP WITH THIS????

    http://www.bonforums.com/lincolnmerc/aviator_engsusp.def.110602.htm Apparently the word is out. The problems is that #7 and #8 cylinders are crap on these engines? How do I know if my engine was built there? Or are they all built the same? Does this mean my engine is crap and will die...

    MODDED LS1 Z28 vs MODDED 03 COBRA - Interesting Outcome

    I just road raced a 2001 LS1 Z28. We went at it about 7-8 times from various speeds. Mostly from 10,20, 30, 40 MPH rolls. About my car (03 Cobra): Dyno'd at 440 RWHP on a 94 F day. It was 54 tonight. I have a Diablo chip, 3" Cat Back, and a 2.8 Blower pulley, K&N of course. Stock I was...

    SHOCKED yet ANOTHER LS1 owner.... Are we over this yet?

    LS1 Firebird asks me if I want to run. He had a passenger and so did I. Only mine weighs in at about 225. I am about 192. These guys where all of 105 SOAKING WET! They had diplomat plates. I also had, spare tire, baby seat, and 3/4 tank...HEAVY! We go from a roll 3 times. Pulled away...

    Jonny Lightning CAI - dont waste your money!

    Bought the Jonny Lightning. Went to install and boy is that thing a POS. I took it back. 1. Its VERY VERY HEAVY! 2. Can see a gap around the neck. Air can get into the system without going through filter. 3. JUST SITS in the engine bay. Nothing to keep it from banging around and...

    What do PLUGS look like under bad or detonation conditions?

    Can someone answer this? The thought they are supposed to look good with a fine orangey dust on the inner part. How could I tell if something bad is going on? I have the 2.80 and Diablo flash for the 2.80 puley.

    BLOWER LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A FART SOUND - WHAT WAS THAT?

    Ok, so I'm screwing around with the 03 tonight. I check the plugs and the driver rear plug was out to about .60"... I gapped all to about .45 (cause I got the 2.80 pulley). They all looked good. Lil orangey. Then I decided to go ahead and put my silencer back on for sh*ts and giggles. Too...

    2.80 PULLEY INTSALLED - NOW WHICH INTAKE FILTER SYSTEM

    I did the pulley swap. I am using the stock air box, silencer removed, and the E-0945 K&N. The car is obviously choked now in the 5000+ RPM range. I think I read someone say you take your HP (I am about 500 at the engine, 440 at the rear) 500 and multiply it by 1.6 to get your CFM flow...

    03 Cobra VS 02 Lightning (+6lb pulley, diablo, cai, ram air, etc)

    I rode in my friends L the other day. He was modded with Superchip, CAI, Ram Air system. I was not really that impressed. I said it was a fast truck but was about 1.5 seconds slower 0-60 than me and just did not have the MONSTER pull of the 03 CObra... Well that afternoon he installs the...

    2.81 PULLEY SWAP TODAY - HAPPY AND NOT SO HAPPY

    Did the swap. Went to the 2.81 pulley. They removed the snout and used a press to remove and install the pullies. Changed the blower oil too. Also installed the smaller belt. They apparently had to cut a metal/aluminum pieced that a hose goes on so the snout can be removed without having...

    Lightly modded 03 Cobra SMACKS 2002 Z06
