Nice car! I remember talking with you about your car a few years ago. The one thing I remember most about it is the massive custom intercooler which allows you to make a lot of power on pump gas. I think I still have a picture of it somewhere.
Like the title says.... If anybody has some they want to get rid of, I'd be interested. You can PM me if you want and let me know how much, etc.
Thanks.
I am selling a brand new 5.4L billet stroker crank that I bought from Paschal Performance a little while ago for a project. But plans have changed and I am selling it. It features 1/8” jumbo radii, teardrop oil holes, radius edged counterweights for less windage and four lightening holes for...

I have new clamps/hoses and they are all tight. The clamps are positioned properly from what I can tell. It is seeping from where the lower radiator hose clamps to the housing. I’m starting to think that the housing/neck is cracked there. It’s not leaking from where the housing bolts...
Well, I’ve made several changes to the set-up over the past year or so. Major changes include the installation of a ProEFI ECU, Precision BB6266 turbos, external wastegates, looser converter, larger injectors, and a new wheel/tire combo. While doing all of that, I also made some changes to the...
I just wanted to make a quick post regarding my Circle D converter. I bought a 4R70W trans from Darrin at BC Automotive 2 years ago. He supplied a Circle D triple disk lock-up converter with the trans. By the summer of 2012, I had everything installed and up and running. The converter seemed...
Anybody have pics of these on your car? I know they are tall but I'd like to see how they look. I need more traction on the street. Post them up!
Thanks.
17” Drag Wheel Set-up Pics
Well, I figure this might be the best place to post this. It’s about time I get serious with my wheel/tire combo. I have 18” drag radials but they just don’t cut it.
So I’m thinking about going to a 17” wheel with a tall tire. This would be for the street...
Does anybody have a coolant flow diagram they could post up? I'm trying to fully understand how the coolant flows through the 10 hoses on my car, lol.
Thanks.
Cool, thanks. I did remove some of the coolant from the tank and re-sealed it. Then I filled it from the CC plug but it did not take much at all--just a few ounces as I squeezed the upper rad. hose to help get any air out. So it may be good now. I cycled it after that yesterday with the...
Ok. I read some info on how to properly fill the coolant in my car and apparently some of it may or may not have been wrong. I replaced the radiator and here is how I filled it. I have since read this which was linked from this site and it seems to contradict some of thwat I did:
Cobra &...
Ok. I have a question regarding this. I read something that described a different way to do it but after reading this, I don't think I did this correctly. I replaced the radiator so I needed to re-fill the coolant. I filled the coolant tank until the full line but did NOT replace the cap. I...
It’s not a terminator but it’s a 4V turbo set-up in my ’98 Cobra. The very basic set-up is:
5.3L big bore stroker, BOSS block, coated pistons, coated bearings, Oliver billet rods, Total Seal stainless rings, Probe main stud girdle, ARP hardware, etc.
Fox Lake CNC ported FordGT heads with valve...
For those who haven’t seen all of the details of this on the other forum, I thought I’d post a brief overview of the car and how it’s turning out. The basic set-up is:
5.3L BB stroker, coated pistons, Oliver rods, Total Seal rings, ARP hardware, etc.
Fox lake prepared FordGT heads

Wow. I just tried calling Steve this morning and they said his last day was yesterday. Bummer. He is a cool guy. So I hope we can still get good deals on the Ford OEM stuff. They said to ask for Mike M.
Just thought I'd pass it along.
What compression is everybody running with boosted cars. How much boost on pump gas and how much power? I was tthinkinb about a 10:1 set-up to help get some more low-end power but don't know if that's too much for 93 octane with moderate boost. I know all set-ups are different but I'm just...

Well, we got a shot of warmer air so we were able to open the shop doors and finally get some initial numbers. We made several pulls but the car was breaking up after 5800 RPM's. It turns out it was spiking rich at that point causing the engine to bog. Then the dyno wideband plug broke (I have...
My car was painted a while back and has been in the shop since then. Soon, it will go back to the paint shop to have the front bumper put back on and a couple other things done. He said he is going to buff it out with 2000 grit paper and he said it will look like glass. He said he will get...
Does anybody wax painted surfaces under the hood? I want to do this in the engine bay but was just curious if the heat would adversly affect it in any way.
Thanks.
