I dropped my wheels off to the painter today and still have not fully commited to a color. Thinking gloss black or dark charcoal metallic. Worried the the black would be too much even though I Do dig the black on black look. Also considering dark grey, any thoughts?

I decided to take all the extra chunks of aluminum off an upper intake just to clean up the look. Most people eliminate the EGR but then get stuck with that ugly molded runner, and the 4 mounting lugs for emissions components, so here is my fix. This is an under hood shot from before...

So I have 600whp from 14lbs of boost, but I have noticed some people making more power with similar boost levels. Right now I have 8.8 compression on forged internals, and I am running 11:1 AF and only 16deg of timing. My question is really how much timing is safe on 93 octane tune at my boost...

I just started my car to pull it back in the garage and when I was cranking it the speedo and tach swept all the way to the right and stayed there. Tried disconnecting the battery and checked all fuses under dash and under hood that sounded like they had anything to do with the gauges. Any ideas?

I posted this in the new edge Cobra section but I spend alot of time in the Terminator section and it seems to have much more traffic. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/new-edge-cobras-51/760289-96-cobra-electrical-computer-issue-please-help.html#post10539934 So what does the computer do at...

I am posting this for a guy on a different forum. He has a 96 Cobra that is having trouble with something electrical. The car starts in open loop runs fine, after roughly 60 seconds goes into closed loop as it should and runs fine, but at 5-8 minutes it kicks back out of closed loop and stays...

I am thinking about smoothing my upper intake and I dont use my EGR. So I was wondering if that runner can just be ground off, and how big the actuall hole is that will be left. I can have a small hole welded up or weld a plate over it and then buff whats there. Any ideas.

I am having my single turbo Cobra tuned tomorrow and he will be setting my fan temps. I am wondering what my on and off temps should be. I was thinking on @ 195 off @ 180. BTW I have a 180 Tstat. Any ideas?

I am done with my build and have some items I can sell off now. All items were purchased for or removed from a 1999 Cobra. I will delete items as they sell and probably list more as I think of them. Prices are OBO, or trade? I currently need tires 315-30-18's. T45 trans w/50k miles on it. It...

From what i understand, the best way to tune timing is to slowly advance, take a pull, and repeat until you stop gaining power then stop. How is this done on the street when at 6-700hp it would be very difficult to feel small gains. Not to mention possible traction issues effecting the feel of...

I am about to change my trans in a 99 Cobra, and was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting to the top bolts with solid mounts. I know you can rock the motor back after you pull the trans cross member, but with solid mounts do you just loosen the nut on the mount stud to let it lean...

I need a set of shorties for my turbo build. I have a set of JBA's but they have some cracks and the flanges are bad. I could have them repaired but would rather pick up a cheap set of clean used ones. Open to different brands, would like stainless but steel is ok too. I will be cutting the...

What is the purpose of the hose that runs from the lower radiator hose to the crossover tube? It seems strange to have the crossover feeding the lower and upper ends of the radiator. I would like to install an inline Tstat housing and get rid of the 2nd crossover hose. Any ideas?

I am building a turbo system on my car and I was thinking with all the piping that runs around the motor and turbo and chassis, would it be beneficial to install solid mounts to cut down on the engine rocking. My idea behind it is that I could help eliminate some of the forces that cause pipes...
