    Anyone still running the kenne bell 1.5?

    So i drove 4.5 hours on friday to go pick up what I was told was a Kenne Bell 2.1 supercharger. Turns out, after confirming with kenne bell, its the 1.5. However, they reassured me for my current goals (10psi up to 400hp or so) that this is more than fine for what I want. Heck, I even found...

    Title is self explanatory. I'm driving a few hours to pick up a used kb2.1 kit on friday but how can i verify its the 2.1 and not the older 1.5? Online pics all look the same to me.

    Question about IMRC deletes

    I'm purchasing a used kenne bell 2.1 later this week. In the meantime I'm gonna start buying some accessories for the install. One of these is IMRC deletes. Someone is telling me about gaskets and being different on 98's? Does anyone know for sure what intake gaskets I would need for the...

    Any 98 guys still running aviator pump?

    So I’m about to purchase a used KB2.1 kit off someone and I’m looking for an upgrade fuel pump for my 1998 cobra. I know these are bastards and I was gonna do walbro but seems aviator is the cheapest option and at least used to be a very popular option. Is this still a good option or are there...

    WANTED: Kenne Bell 2.1 for 96-98 cobra

    I'm just seeing if anyone has a KB2.1 sitting around or may in the future up for sale? I missed out on a brand new one on marketplace 2 months ago at $2500 and now I just missed out on a very low mileage one listed at $3000. I'm just wanting to see if anyone has one of these or maybe will at...

    What size fuel injectors?

    So if I plan to put a procharger on my 98 cobra, what size injectors should I plan for? I feel like on my last car I did 42# but prices are through the roof on injectors these days. I see 60# pop up here and there for decent prices. Knowing 60# is overkill for my plans, is there anything...

    1998 cobra fuel tank/pump setup???

    So as I'm starting to come up with a list of stuff in my head to buy in preparations for a blower, I automatically just thought I'd do a 255lph in tank pump like I did many years ago on my old 96. However, I accidentally stumbled upon some old ass threads about 98 having different setup and...

    Which power adder? Probably a no brainer in my situation

    So I have a stock 98 cobra convertible (4.10 gears) and my intentions were to go the KB 2.1 route maybe later this year or next.

    Adjusting headlights

    Anyone know how to adjust the headlights on these cars? I've only had it since April and don't drive it in the dark, until the other day, and they were awful and didn't show the road really. Then I got home where they shined on my fence and they appear to be aimed way too high. Is it a simple...

    WANTED: sn95 rear speaker cover

    I'm on the hunt now after my rear lower speaker cover fell off while driving my 98 cobra the other day. It looked to have been glued on so I'm searching for one, if possible, that isn't damaged. I'm gonna look at the junk yards at some point but anyone have one laying around by chance?

    MGW vs pro 5.0 with steeda tri-ax handle

    I recently picked up a 98 cobra and I don't like the current shifter, which is a pro 5.0. My main gripe is the straight handle and it feels clunky going into gears. A cobra I had years ago I put a steeda tri-ax into it an loved it, the handle shape especially. My cousin is trying to talk me...

    Are all cats created equal?

    I just bought a 98 cobra convertible and it has off road pipe with borla xr-1 (I think) and magnaflow tailpipes. I do like the way it sounds but that exhaust smell is gonna get old really damn quick. If I just buy the cheapest cats will that make the smell go away or should I get something like...

    Value of 03/04 cobras

    I found a Yellow 2004 cobra with under 22,000 miles on it and appears mostly stock minus an a/f ratio gauge. The dealer asking price is $23,998. What is a good value for a stock terminator with good miles anyways? My buddy paid $30k for a triple black with 2000 miles on it a few months ago...

    Smell of fuel

    On my supercharged 96 cobra, after mashing the gas I can smell fuel. My tuner had me check the vacuum connection on the fpr but it's fine. Only noticed this in the past few months and twice now the car wouldn't start after driving and I had to let it sit for awhile. The injectors are fine and...

    Going to Cedar Point Memorial Day weekend!

    Anyone been before? I figured after talking about it for years, it's time for me to man up and go before I get too old to enjoy it. I'm 30 years old and this should either wake me up or make me hurt and really feel old. I'll find out soon enough. This place looks amazing.

    Car themed bathroom idea

    Anyone have a bathroom, we any room I guess, that is car related? Our guest bathroom (mine mostly) has had a beach / cheap palm tree crap theme for the past 6 years we've owned this house. It's a small bathroom so I can't do much but I bought a real nice mustang print a couple weeks ago and...

    Pic request: 03/04 cobra wheels on sn95 (17 & 18)

    I'd like to see if anyone has the 03/04 cobra wheels on their sn95 cobras. I want to compare how the 17's and the 18's version of these look on these cars. Finding a set of authentic cobra R's is becoming a hassle and my current wheels are already 18's so I can save on tires. Thanks in...

    Want to Buy: 95 Cobra R wheels (real)

    Anyone have a set or know of any sets of authentic 95 cobra r wheels in good to mint condition (preferably no rash). I had a guy want to sell me his for $800 last night (1 wheel with some curb rash) and I feel that is too high in this decade. 10 years ago I think they are worth that but not...
