I'm considering a blower upgrade and debating between a 2.9 whipple, finding a used gen 2 VMP TVS, and the new gen 3 VMP TVS.
There are Dyno numbers all over the place on here, on VMPs site, YouTube, etc for the Gen 2. I've only found 1 or 2 Cobras with the new gen3 however.
Where are all the...
what 17" rear wheels do you all use for drag radials on the rear of a gt500? Mine is a 2009 and I have a pair of MT 295-45-17 drag radials and I'm looking for what 17" wheels will work just for the track? I'd like a black bullit wheel or similar but not sure what will fit.
Thanks for any help!
I just purchased my first GT500 this week. A 2009 that is heavily modded, but still has the stock EAton with a 2.6 upper and 15% lower. It has long-tubes, ford racing TB and C&L 113mm intake.
I just picked up a FRPP gen 1 TVS with stock inlet and no pulley. I know this is old school and...
disclaimer right out of the gate is that I changed from a BA2600 meter to the 4.5" JLT tube In addition to switching from 2.5" exhaust to full 3" all the way back. Just these two changes picked up 45rwhp peak. Went from 671 to 716 with no loss in peak torque which remained at 720.
But there's...
Previous best numbers with the Eaton were 552rwhp and 585rwtq
With the first gen. 2.3 whipple and same size pulleys as the Eaton setup, new numbers are 671rwhp and 721rwtq
Boost spiked to 19.5 and dropped to 16 by 6700rpm
We were shocked today when the Un-ported Eaton combo on my car produced 552rwhp and 585rwtq. It's far from a stock motor but we really expected the little Eaton to choke the motor way more than it did. Funny thing is this was a very conservative tune and there is a lot more left in it.
Here...
im looking for a 03/04 cobra Eaton ready to drop on with plenum, throttle body etc.
Please let me know what you have, mileage, and asking price.
Thanks,

For those who asked, here's a track video.......
Tried shifting into 4th gear in the 1/8th on this pass and it didn't like that....slowed a little. So.....not the fastest pass but this is the one that got on video....

Ran a personal best of 6.42 at 109 with a 1.44 sixty foot. I've had a 1.42 sixty foot and have run 110mph but not on the same pass. Seems there's a 6.3x in it with a better 60 foot.
1G 2.3 whipple, 2.75 upper, 2lb lower (spikes to ~20 psi and drops to 18)
93 pump gas with 1 can of torco, 18...
my car runs great but does something really weird. Hoping somebody knows what is needed to fix it.
At 6500 rpm, the valves hang open, the car loses compression and the engine shuts OFF. This will happen in the middle of a pass at the track. When this happens, the car will spin over but will...
im interested if anybody has had personal experience switching from a 2.3 whipple to a 2.3 Tvs and what improvements if any were realized?
I'm very pleased with the performance of my car but wonder if I would pick up significantly switching to a Tvs?
I've noticed that my car makes more hp and...
Looking to buy a used JLT Ram Air.
I really only need the tube and couplers (no filter, no shield); but I know it's unlikely I'll find just those pieces......so, I'm also interested in a complete RAI, OR just the tube and couplers.
Thanks!
Car runs great, idles great, drives great....BUT:
It will not make power past 6500 even with the limiter at 7200. I'm wondering if it's something else in the tune settings or it may be valve springs?
Here's the scenario:
Had it on the dyno Friday and it made 636 at 6300. By 6500 it...
