My car is currently setup for 93 pump. Quick run down, it's an 04 factory long block, TVS 2.3, return fuel system, 60# injectors, dual 265lph pumps. Puts down 625whp/580# tq @ 19psi on pump 93. It also has an unleaded 116 tune, although I have yet to try it out. It's supposed to add about...
OK so I have the turbo bug. I am very interested in moving over to one.
Here is a brief summary of what I have now-> 04 SVT Cobra convertible 60k miles, factory long block, TVS 2.3 w/ VMP GT500 TB, return fuel 60# injector, dual 255lph pumps, head cooling mod, killer chiller, factory exhaust...
Does anyone know why my battery light would be solid on (dim, but solid).
I have a Ford OEM battery and a Nations Alternator.
I use an ODB MX data link to log data and I can see my alternator is pushing 13.9-14.1 volts continuous.
What would cause this light? I Know for sure when it flashes...
With this cold air we're experiencing (32 degrees or so) I thought it would be cool to post a few speedo runs. This one is 2nd through 4th:
This one is just a quick hit in 3rd @ 4k. Just roasts the tires!
Also, for those that have the Nations Alternator, check out the batt light at the...
Does anyone know how to keep the compressor running in cold weather (sub 50's)? What happens is after a few minutes running the compressor starts kicking on and off ever few seconds and that obviously kills the performance of my killer chiller. Thanks

Can ya'll recommend a good brand idler kit that comes w/ all idlers necessary AND are same size as factory (so I don't need to change my belt size)? One of my factory idlers is making strange noise when rotating, so I assume the bearing is failing. Just a matter of time before the others go as...
Ever since I upgraded to TVS 2.3, I've been having issues with my belt only lasting a thousand miles or so before it begins to frey. I am not sure if it's from the increased torque on the belt or what? I do not think it's misaligned.
Any ideas? Do I need a Kevlar belt or what?

Can someone kindly post what tire and rim size they are running, especially on the rear on cars that have over 600hp (that still have their IRS - w/ FTBR upgrades) and that are primarily driven on the street but see an occasional track use?
I would like a rear tire that can hook and flex very...
I recently converted my car from mostly factory setup + 2.8 upper pulley + 93 octane tune, CAI, X pipe and magnaflow exhaust and was getting around 18-20 mpg.
Now I changed to a TVS 2.3 w/ GT500 TB w/ return fuel system, 60# injectors, JLT high boost CAI, offroad H pipe and Borla ATAKs w/ new...
First off let me give you the setup of the car.
I'm running a stock lower, 2.8" upper, idler, and stock alternator pulley. Alternator was a new ebay 200 amp alternator.
Alternator worked fine for about two weeks then a problem arose.
Problem: When engine is revved above 4800 RPM...
Hello, all. Not sure if this is the best forum or not for this but here goes.
I purchased a Killer Chiller Gen 3 non drag kit from Kincaid Performance back on Dec 24 2015. Paid in full via paypal (checking account draft).
Joe Kincaid was very responsive to my questions via email and phone call...
Is it safe to use an engine cleaner from auto zone and then spray engine bay with water on these cars? Of course I wouldn't attempt this unless the engine was totally cold. I am concerned to damage electronics though. What do you guys use?
Let me give you a small back ground on the car. It's a 04 cobra vert. Bought it in 2009 with 16k miles on it.
It had a K&N FPIK and X pipe with magnaflow catback exhaust.
About a year after I had the car, I changed the upper pulley to 2.8", added dual bearing tensioner system, added rear...
I am looking at the Toyo Proxes TQ, they are really cheap and I am thinking about buying a set. But I was wondering if anyone has used them, specifically in the rain (like on your way home, going the speed limit) and how did they perform?
Does anyone know if they make an 11x17 cobra replica? I cannot find any. Largest I can find is 10.5x17.
Also, does anyone have 2 cobra replica chrome aluminum wheels for sale? 10.5x17 or 11x17???
Looking for THE BEST tire for wheel hop reduction, 2004 vert 500HP. And it needs to be able to make it through a rain storm without hydroplaning off the road when "cruising" home.
My car is a daily driver, I don't care about how long the tire lasts. I just want the softest tire I can find...
Just got back from the dyno and I am really surprised what I found out.
Prior to me going to the dyno today, my car was a virgin, that is it has never been tuned nor had any pulley work done. Motor wise, it only had a K&N intake, and new plugs. I bought the car last May and I am the 2nd owner...
Just curious to know if our motor had CVVT, would it make a large performance increase? What I am getting at, is how is it the new 5.0 has 412hp naturally aspirated? .4 liter doesn't seem to be that much more displacement to have more power than a 8psi boosted 4.6 liter.
2ndly, does cvvt...
How can I add more low end power (say around 2500 RPM to around 3500 RPM) with out pushing the pedal harder, therefor producing more boost?
This would be nice in a daily driver.
I am about to install my 2.8" pulley and ported blower, to bring the car up to approx. 500 hp from around 410. My current stock goodyears are shot on the rear. I want to put new tires, do I even need to increase from 275 size??
Hello, I have a 2004 cobra vert and it still has the original goodyear tires on the back which now need changing. What I am looking for is a good tire that will launch from a dead stop very well (with minimal wheel hop) and can handle cornering well. Obviously the tire also needs to handle wet...
