How much power did you make? What was the mods ?
I remember the car was making 18lbs of boost. It had all the typical basic mods all cobra owners have. The only thing it didn't have back then was long tube headers but that wasn't going to make a HUGE difference. on 18lbs the car made 545 rwhp and if I remember correctly 530ish rwtq. we put the ported eaton back on and the car made 508rwhp and 550rwtq. 2.80 upper 4lb lower. steggy port.

Oh wow! That's crazy. Yeah I'd pissed if I got those #'s. Those are great #s from the ported Eaton though. Any idea on why the 2.4 is so weak? What were the iat's on it? And how much timing was in it?

I dont remember the iat temps . Keep in mind this was 2004. This was on 93 octane so the timing wasn't too crazy. A basic 18-19lb setup on 93 should yield at least 590-600rwhp. some see a bit more with different blowers. we dont know why some of them didn't make power. and like I said, I spoke to jim belle, the owner of kenne bell personally. I am good friends with jimmy vaccaro, the mustang god we used to call him, so I was able to speak to jim himself. and he didnt know either. But that was the past. Many many moons ago.

I’m currently running a 2.4 with 3.0/ 4lb pushing 23.5 psi on e85. At this boost level it scream pretty loud. Maybe not 2.2 loud but it’s definitely noticeable.

What are your mods and what did it Dyno? I can still pick up a 2.4 the guy is asking $1800. Don't know if that's fair or not for a 2.4

why do you want a 2.4 kenne bell so bad for? You can get used tvs blower that will literally destroy the 2.4. It will hit harder down low, make way more pwer and faster.

I don't want one that bad really. Just a deal I came across.
