Hey fellas,
I did some upgrades to the car, so I thought I would share my thoughts now that they've been on for a few weeks. My intention for this car was to put together a well rounded car that could keep up with some of the more exotic cars in the twistys and still be a blast to take drag...

Hi Guys,

What do you guys think of this? I had the motor taken apart finally after blowing a spark plug out of the head last fall. I had a hellacoil(the right one for spark plugs) put in,but it developed a knock.

Hi Fellas,
I'm just doing a bit of thinking out loud here,but would appreciate some feedback.
I have an '01 Cobra 'Vert with 50,000 miles. I blew a sparkplug out of the head back in october. At the time the local SVT dealer put a helacoil and new plug in,but it came back with a knock in...

Ok it hasn't happened..I am not a big fan of the "retro" thing the look...the borrowing of old names etc...but I would like to see a lightweight,improved suspension,(irs??)5.0 cammer in a new mustang...something for the road racers..

Hey Guys,

Would I get any benefit from changing my stock chip for an aftermarket one. As far as I know there are not any chassis dyno's in my area. I will eventually get one when I get gears done.Just wondering if there is any point in getting it first.
Thanks guys
Since I got my Cobra in March I have experienced an engine miss at high rpm occasionaly..like once every 30x I redline..It is defintely a miss and not the rev-limiter. (edited to make sense)
It also seems to miss a little when cold as well. Any ideas?
Thanks..
