    96 Cobra - Coolant Dump

    Took the car out for a mild 20 minute drive. Parked it in the driveway, got out and started to walk to my front door. Then I heard what sounded like water just pouring on the concrete. Shined a light under the car and saw coolant just dumping out (Driver side, i think). Saw a few rust/water...

    Build Questions

    I'm looking to make my '96 b-headed Cobra 600hp. Is that possible with B-Heads? What kind of Centrifugal blower would make that power? I have a million questions but i'm open to any input y'all are willing to provide. My only definite plans are to also have After-market Cams as well. Thanks.

    Did my motor just let go?

    Car still hasn't run right since the deletes were installed, but upon cold start last night, a LOUD ticking sound has begun. I immediately shut the car off and haven't started it since. Is she blow-ed up?

    IMRCs deleted....now what

    In past threads I've kept everyone updated on the IMRC deletes I did. Well the car really hasn't felt the same since...it feels lazy still, like it's not pulling as hard. NASVT told me its just a tune problem. How much timing is too much timing? Is there anything else to consider as far as...

    Injector Size

    What roll does injector size play? My car is a basic bolton car, however I found out today I probably have 42lb injectors (that's just what was in the car when I bought it). Should I switch back to stock size? Or just adjust the tune to account for 42s? Would the car run better one way or...

    Valve Stem (heads) Issue?

    I was driving today and a buddy was following behind me...when we got to our destination he told me he thought my valve stem seals might need to be changed b/c I was blowing some smoke on hard accelerations (FYI - I can smell burnt oil after high RPM pulls). Does his suggestion make sense? Is...

    Rough Idle under certain circumstances

    I've had several weeks where I don't get to drive/start my car for a full week. Upon starting the car for the first time (after a week of sitting), the car idles really bad, the entire car is shaking...sometimes it will die, sometimes it will just idle bad. Once the car is re-started (between...

    FS - BBK H Pipe (1996 Cobra)

    Used BBK H Pipe that was on my 1996 Mustang Cobra. This was a Catted H-pipe, but the cats have been gutted so it's functioning as an off-road H pipe. This H pipe fits with longtube headers only. $75 located in Slidell, LA - https://neworleans.craigslist.org/pts/5382455540.html
