    WANTED: OEM style clutch cable and LTH catless Midpipe

    Could use some help sourcing these parts. I believe my clutch cable is stretched and makes it difficult to engage first and reverse. Also my midpipe has a pretty annoying exhaust leak that I'm tired of listening to. Thanks for any help!

    2-step doesn't work most of the time

    So my cobra had the MSD 2-step device installed before I bought it. Since I've owned it I've only gotten it to work twice. I've taken out the module a couple times to adjust the dials and it kind of seems like the dials have been rotating on their own in-between the set points (from engine...

    Clutch quadrant/firewall adjustment- UPR gripe

    I could use a sanity check here. Just spent today install the UPR firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant. Nothing went well and it didn't fix my issue so far. So my first and reverse don't want to go into gear easily. Goes fine when the car is off. So tell tale sign I needed the new setup. I...

    Good books for tuning, and building/repairing mod engines?

    Need some reading material for work (can't have electronics in my lab) and would like to start learning in depth about tuning and engine building, primarily for the 4.6L 4v. Any highly recommended stuff out there? I found this on Amazon but always want to hear community consensus on this stuff...

    Is this O/R X-pipe salvagable?

    Went to install this BBK O/R x-pipe that came with the car (current midpipe is a BBK with "high flow" cats welded in) and noticed it has almost the exact same dent as the one on the car that's causing a super annoying exhaust tick. What's the chances this is fixable and how so? All I can think...

    First and Reverse difficult to engage from stand still

    So ever since I bought the car, she likes to give me issues going into first and reverse (especially reverse). From my limited research, it sounds like a clutch cable adjustment issue. Reasons being that all gears engage fine when engine is off and ignition is turned on. There's also no issue...

    Any good sales on new Borla S-Types?

    Looking to finally install my catless midpipe, at which point my Borla ATAK's will likely be too aggressive for my taste. Plus current midpipe has a leak that isn't worth fixing to me and I'm so ready to stop listening to that damn tick. I typically don't search hard for a code or sale like...

    Loud, sharp thud after differential install

    Hey guys I just got my diff in and the car back on the road. Something new that wasn't there before is that driveline rear end thud sound after getting on the gas and taking up what must be some new slop. It does it both getting on and off the gas. The only thing that should be new is the FRPP...

    FRPP diff cover won't clear tie rod mounts?

    Currently trying to install my diff with the new FRPP diff cover and I can't tell if I'm missing something here or what what the deal is. But it seems I can't clear the tie rod mounting locations circled in red below. I'm trying to ensure the angle is near what the car is sitting at. But no...

    What is your rev limit set to?

    Just got my tune back and asked what the rev limit had been set to. He said 7k.. seems pretty high for a factory mod engine, especially pushing the boost and power that I'm at. Curious to see what y'alls thoughts are on that. Context: Car currently has gen 4 2.9L Whipple crusher at ~24psi...

    Self-induced Nightmare- tripped my PATS

    Preface: I'm an idiot. I also don't know much/anything about tuning. I was trying to check the redline on my cobras tune with my SCT X4 and accidentally started redownloading the same tune. I just kinda shook my head decided to get out while it was doing its thing. When I swung my legs around...

    Lifting car from Rhino Ramps

    Looking for a sanity check here. My cobra is slightly lowered, has side skirts, and sub frame connectors. So I can't get a floor jack under the subframe connectors while it's still flat on the ground. For raising the rear end, how bad of an idea is it to reverse onto my Rhino ramps, chock the...

    Pro shots of my 2003 Sonic Blue Cobra

    A photographer posted in the local car enthusiast Facebook group that he was looking for a car to photograph for free in order to get his portfolio started. I posted one of my pics in the comments thinking what the heck why not, even if he didn't turn out to be great at it, I'd at least get some...

    Data logging basics/setup?

    So I tried searching some of my more basic questions but either I'm using the search bar incorrectly or the search function is somewhat broken on this forum. Almost any question I have, from basic like this, to very specific, it tells me the words in my search are too common and just throws some...

    Supercharger belt fraying, unsure of cause or proper length to replace with

    Hey guys hoping for a little education on a couple of questions. I'm gonna sound like a total noob but this is the first time I've even had to fool with belt before, let alone figuring out the length needs and dynamics of the belt and tensioner. When I first picked the car up I noticed a...

    What are things you wish you knew when you first bought your Terminator?

    As we all know, every car model and generation out there has its quirks, pro, and cons. What are some things you wish you knew about your Terminator when you first bought it? Whether it be about the engine, body, suspension, exhaust, whatever. For example I just learned from the owner of the...

    Does a change in altitude require a tune?

    I finally acquired my dream car, a 2003 Sonic Blue Terminator. It's being shipped from Utah (4,700') to me in Tennessee (900'). The car has some pretty significant mods, some of which are new to me. Such as a Whipple 2.9 running on E85 and meth injection. It was also tuned out there in Utah...

    Hey guys, I'm replacing my sparkplugs tomorrow and I'd like to make sure I get them indexed towards the intake valves. I just wanted to verify that the intake valves are on the inboard side of each cylinder, correct? Thanks.

    5.4 questions

    I've got a 2008 gt500 and I'm starting an engine build on the side to eventually put in my mustang for a highway monster. I don't visit the drag way much (the closest one to me is about 2 hours away) so I'm not overly worried about quarter mile times. Focus is towards practical reliability, and...
