I just got back from Speedworld raceway and I am going crazy right now. My previous best ET was 13.065 with a 2.01 60-foot and a 112.12 trap speed.. Since then, I added the K&N aircharger and a magnaflow x-pipe with cats. I really didn't know what to expect but every run today was under 12.9 ...

I checked Firebird and I don't think they have the strip open this friday night. Does anyone know if Speedworld is open this weekend ?. Now that it has cooled down, I really want to run the car !

I don't know if you guys have heard but out here in AZ there is a serious shortage of gas. I had half a tankof 91 and since they said this problem will continue for the next couple weeks I had to fill up, here's the problem, they only had 87. So I now have half a tank of 91 and half 87. What...

So get this, I was coming back from saleen two days ago, and this ked pulls up next me in a new civic. They look over at me and begin to laugh, then his buddy gets out of the car, opens the trunk and "pretends" to turn a NOS bottle on. Then he leans over and says "don't worry, its only a 50...

I just called K&N to check up on the status of their 03 Cai, since many of us are using their 01 system. It is part number 63-1051 and is listed under "aircharger" and not FIPK becuase it still isn't smog legal. If I am late on this info I'm sorry, but this is the first week that someone on the...

Ever since I bought my cobra 4 months ago, I've been waiting to line up against this guy down the street with a black viper. I saw him pull on to PCH so I had to follow him. I pulled up to him at the stoplight an asked him what year it was, he said "94,"and then he revved his car till be hit the...

Alright, let me begin by saying that I bought the magnaflow cat-back 4 months ago and hated it. I put the x-pipe with cats on yesterday and still hated it. The shop I go to had some spare time so we ran down to magnaflow (its 5 min. from my house) and bought the round magnapack mufflers. If...

After recently installing the magnaflow cat-back exhaust, I have now decided to run an x-pipe without cats. My question is this, besides being made out of ss, will I see a big difference in performance between the x-pipes from bassani, upr, and mac. The reason I ask is you can get the upr x-pipe...

Alright, so after a long debate I decided to go with the UPR cai. One downside that it has over the other products is the ability to become a ram air (by removing the front light). What about running a tube(made out of the material similar to the kenne bell cai) from the empty fog light hole in...

I know the subject had been beatin to death about having a straight shot cai vs. the ones that suck air from the fender. I've only seen one thread so far that has talked about how straight shot filters can possibly change timing ? If I remember correctly, it had someting to do with comparing Act...

Because I only take my cobra out in the city and to the track, I am considering running 4.10's. I understand that this will throw the speedomoter off, which can be corrected, but what about the odometer. If the answer is really obvious, sorry for the stupid question guys.

I now have over 3500 miles on my cobra and each time I fill up I always keep an accurate fuel mileage. My driving style has stayed the same and usually I got about 180 miles on a tank. Now I can't get over 140 miles on a tank. After my first run at the track this last weekend, there was a good...

Just this past week I've noticed a popping noise coming from the front of the car. It only happen at very low speeds when I am depressing the clutch. Ive had friends stand outside the car and they agree its coming from the front. It only happens when Im using the clutch so I don't think its...

when you a make an order on rpmoutlet.com, you get a free boost bypass kit, just passing the info along.

I made 3 passes at the dragstrip tonight and noticed that after my run, my clutch would develop about 1-2 inches of slack at the top of the pedal before youwould feel any pressure. I used the technique on this board in which you depress the clutch pedal and then release it violantly. This cured...
