    Which clutch?

    Something so easy as picking a clutch is turning into a difficult choice. I recently broke my stock input shaft and now that I'm upgrading to a 26 spline input shaft I need a new clutch. My Cobra has a ported blower putting down over 500 rwph and about 500 rwtq. The car sees both street and...

    Stock t56 w/ upgraded input shaft vs t56 magnum

    What is the difference between the stock trans with the upgraded input shaft vs the t56 magnum? Basically I'm trying to decide which way to go. I busted my input shaft on the stock t56 at the strip so the plan was to just upgrade my input shaft but now I'm thinking that maybe I should just...

    Move battery to trunk, how much improvement?

    I've been thinking about moving the battery to the trunk. I know people do it because it removes the weight off the nose of the car and it improves weight distribution and it also improves traction but how much? Has anyone done a before and after comparison? I've looked and searched but couldn't...

    The infamous coin holder

    That ugly coin holder seems to be bugging me more now then it has in the past. I know they use to have a SCT flip chip that would fit in there but they don't seem to make it anymore. I also know there is a polished cover that'll go over it but that cover is uglier then the coin holder itself...

    Any upper only cars hit 10's without NO2?

    Any upper only cobras hit 10's without NO2? I was just wondering if there are any basic bolt-on upper only cobras out there that have hit 10's. I'm talking about full weight, stock IRS, no NO2, no meth, etc. I have a upper pulley cobra with a ported blower and getting the itch to try for...

    RR 2.65" upper puley w/ factory lower (w/ pics and dyno sheet)

    When I was trying to figure out which pulley to go with it was hard for me to find info on using the 2.65" upper pulley. Many people told me not use the 2.65" because of belt slip but I've come to find out that the GT500 guys are using pulleys smaller then the 2.65" so I decided to give the...

    Help me pick an upper pulley

    I've been accumulating parts for the last 6 months and I've finally started to modding the Cobra. It started off mostly stock, the only mod that was done was a 2.8" upper pulley. Now things are changing... The new parts: MAC long tube headers (now installed) MAC o/r h-pipe (now installed)...

    exhaust manifold help

    I was trying to install a mid-pipe in my Cobra and I ended up snapping a bolt off of the exhaust manifold. I'm having a really hard time removing the rest of the bolt. Are the bolts in the manifold screw in or pressed in? Any ideas on how I can get the stud out without dropping the motor?

    problem found on the dyno

    I have recently gotten a Cobra and when the opportunity came for me to put it on the dyno I jumped on it. The car is mostly stock. The only upgrade is a 2.8" pulley and a welded in flowmaster muffler only (not a catback), everything else is stock. When I put the Cobra on the dyno this is what it...

    What are the basic upgrades to road race an 03/04 Cobra?

    I have a basicly stock 03 Cobra and I'd like to try a little road racing. The only upgrades I have are an upper pulley, SFC's, and a coilover kit (using stock struts). I know cooling can be a big issue so my main concern is my upper pulley. Is a 2.8" upper pulley too much for a track event...

    Shortest rims size for IRS?

    I'm looking for some rims and tires (slicks) for the drag strip. I'd like to have as much side wall as I can for the strip. I wanted some 15" rims with a 26" slick but my understanding is that the 15" rims won't fit with the IRS. What is the shortest rim size that I can put on with the IRS? I'm...

    Stock front struts???

    I've recently bought a 03 Cobra and I believe that the front springs are cut so I'm trying to fix it. It's a very ruff ride and the front end bounces. It also rubs on just about everything. :fm: I looked under the car and I'm not really sure what I see. I always thought that the 03/04 Cobra's...

    what are the IRS "must haves"?

    I'm a new owner of a 03 Cobra and it's pretty much stock except an upper pulley. I will be doing some drag racing at the strip. I will be using DR for now but my go to a slick later on. I know wheel hop is the main killer of the IRS and mine is completely stock. What are the best ways to get...
