    A Big Thank You to Jim D'Amore and JDM Engineering

    I've been dealing with lots of trials and tribulations with my Kenne Bell tune - making sure it's safe and right for the WICKED power levels that my car is producing. The other day, I put a test chip in the car and it was defective. It zapped the whole computer! Game over, out of...

    Best ET on stock F-1's?

    JT just called me from his cell phone. He's at Atco and ran an 11.84 @ 121 (I believe that's what he said). His short time was a 1.87 I believe. Great job, bud! I'M JEALOUS! Has anyone run better than that on stock F-1's?

    Happy 60th Jimmy Vaccaro!!

    A toast to Jimmy Vaccaro on this day, his 60th birthday (September 19th). What can I say, Jim? 60 and younger than most of us...but you know that. Please raise your dixie cups for Jimmy. He's the most animated character this scene has ever seen. He's both a madman and a gentleman all...

    Throw-Out Bearing Problem?

    I read the past posts on throw-out bearing issues. My symptoms seem slightly different. In the past two days, the car started developing this nasty "dolphin" sound. It happens after getting on it hard a few times. At idle, there is a slight vibration and the dolphin squeal. It doesn't...

    Mobil 1 Full Synthetic - Incredible Deal or Mistake??

    I don't know if it was a mistake or because they went Chapter 11 but I got an incredible deal on Mobil 1 at K-Mart: Each case (6 quarts per case) for $4.99! I even asked the checkout clerk to verify the price because single quarts were $3.99. They said it was correct so I cleaned the...

    Great Kill Story: Pulled on a Modded Z06!!

    Boy, tonight was GREAT for street racing. I was out looking to practice my launching for the B/G event. Met a bunch of really nice guys out in Toms River. And I raced all of them. 2 LS1 Firebirds were a complete joke. They had NOTHING for the 03! But they were really awesome guys so I...

    OK, the Amazon Racing / DiabloSport fellas (03 Matt, John T, Amazon Rick, Jimmy V and the DiabloSport crew and myself) are reserved at the University Plaza Holiday Inn in Bowling Green for the race. Let's all confirm here anyway. They still had a fair amount of rooms available when I called...

    CHECK THIS OUT...Biggest Aftermarket Mod for 03 Cobra Due Out SOON...

    Kenne Bell is coming out with a bolt-on replacement blower specifically for the 03 Cobra. It is due out in Dec or Jan 03. I spoke at length with a couple of reps at Kenne Bell. According to them, it will be a true bolt-on replacement; requiring NO modifications whatsoever. It is a...

    Some Thoughts on the 03 Cobra Class / Bowling Green NMRA Finals

    There's one thing that's bothering me about the NMRA 03 Cobra plans. I am not positive that I have this straight but, from what I have read and been told, one class will be for slicks and drag radials and the other for street tires. I think that the slick class will have a tremendous...

    NGK TR5's or NGK TR6's??

    I was told by a couple of reputable performance Mustang mechanics that the NGK TR6's are too cold for our cars. I know that a lot of guys were talking about the TR6's for their 03 Cobras. Any thoughts?

    Great Day at Atco / NMRA Qualifiers...

    I went to the NMRA Atco qualifiers yesterday. It was unbearably hot but a great race day. Good turn-out for all classes. Full fields is what makes qualifying runs exciting! And WHAT ACTION!!! FOUR Outlaw cars in the 7's (but Job Jr. is still the Outlaw king after years of retirement)...

    Cosmetic Mods

    Has anyone done anything to change the look? I have a black coupe and just had mirror tint done. Man, it looks INCREDIBLE...EVIL!! And, from the inside it is almost non-existent. It doesn't darken the windows much at all! The reflective tint is illegal but I did it anyway. I just...

    SUPERCHIP TUNE COMPLETE. RESULTS ARE IN.

    Just got home from Crazy Horse Racing. It's been a long day!! First of all, let me say that today was an EXTREMELY bad day for dyno pulls. What's worse than 96 degrees? 96 degrees and intermittent rain. Yes, it lightly rained twice while dyno'ing. And the humidity was FAR BEYOND BAD...

    SuperChip Project Put Off Until Tomorrow

    I was supposed to go back to Crazy Horse today to continue working on the SuperChip but I couldn't make it. Chris worked with the SuperChips engineer and they fixed the problem that I was having with the rev limiter kicking in at 5200. So I go there tomorrow at 11:00 AM. I'll post dyno...

    What's up with a pulley swap? I was told that the nose of the blower has to come off

    Anyone do this themselves? I drove over to JDM and spoke with Jim directly. He said that the nose of the blower has to come off in order to put a pulley on. Hmmm... it's got gaskets in there and all the machine oil has to be drained and refilled. Sounds a little scary to me. Anyone do...

    Anyone besides me do the Water Wetter thing yet?

    Under the hood there are the two reserve containers for the intercooler radiator and the engine radiator. I siphened some fluid out of the intercooler container and emptied a bottle of Water Wetter into it. I don't expect it would yield any hp gains but I am sure that it enhances the car's...

    Other 03 Cobra at Crazy Horse Racing with Mangaflow Exhaust and K&N: 408 RWHP!!!

    Who's the other guy that has been to Crazy Horse Racing? He had the MagnaFlow cat-back and X-pipe and the K&N filter w/silencer removed only. Chris showed me the dyno sheet on that car. It made 408 at the wheels. Chris said that he was so excited that he made 'messy' in his pants...

    Superchip Info but no Dyno Results Yet

    Hey guys. I was at Crazy Horse Racing all day today. He told me that he had at least 10 phone calls to verify my claims on the info I posted yesterday. Man!! Lots of trust on this board!! :punch: So we began operation Superchip today. The sent a program to Chris and we tried it...

    AMAZING Preliminary Dyno Results with Link to Scanned Images

    I had my first dyno session this afternoon at Crazy Horse Racing in South Amboy, NJ. I wanted to get down a baseline with no mods whatsoever and document all progress. It was a very hot day but the first dyno pulls were still disappointing. Out of two pulls I got about 350 RWHP. Then...

    Fun Factor: Off of the Charts!!

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I am enjoying the hell out of my 03. Currently it's got 450mi on it so I am still babying it. That means that I don't tach it above 5K. But I am still having BIG FUN. I live in a summer tourist town so there is lots and lots of casual street racing...

    5W-20 vs. 5W-30

    I have been told by two experts now that Ford recommends 5W-20 for better emmissions ratings on the 03's. 5W-30 is actually better for the car. Any thoughts?

    The Stork Has Visited Me...FINALLY!!

    Got my black coupe three days ago. Salesman phoned me to inform me that it had arrived and was coming off of the carrier as he was speaking to me. He told me not to come into the dealership until he contacted me again - after it was through tech and detail. That was his first mistake. I...
