I am posting here since my Cobra was road raced. Mods can move if if they want.
The time has come for us to seriously think about letting the Cobra go.
It is a ported Eaton 03 Cobra with all the popular boltons plus some suspension work, bushings, springs, swaybar, cc plates, Cobra R...
I drove a 725hp version built by Sean Hyllan Motorsport but was not overly impressed. Did I expect too much... what do you guys think of it?
Here are a couple easy laps, not my car so I did not push it too hard...

This little trailer came in so handy last weekend. I took the wife, kids, gazebo and a picknick basket plus all the racing stuff for a for our first day at the racetrack this year. It was pretty cold, but we had a blast. My boys live for a few laps with Dad!
Just thought I'd share a few...
We had 19 cars total, with 10 on DOT rubber and barely legal. The ones that made me nervous was my best friend in his Viper GTS, a pullied 07 GT500, two Subaru's (one was a STI), a RX7, an AWD Talon TSI, a little Civic Hatch that showed up on a trailer with a roll cage and a Jackson Racing...
This was my first trip to the drags this year and did 5 runs - 3 with the 3.100 upper and the last 2 with the 2.900.
1st - 11.95, 2nd - 11.88, 3rd - 12.12 (hit the limiter twice), 4th - 11.89 and 11.78.
60ft's were all in the 1.7's with 116 - 118 mph.
I quess the wing and splitter is...
Cobra, Ported Eaton with 2.900 upper - Camaro, LS1 with AFR heads & cam setup.
Both cars on stickey tires and both of us are pretty comfortable on the track.

315/35/17 BFG R1 dot road race tires, 17x10.5 AFS Cobra style wheels.
picture with them is the 275/40/17 Toyo RA1
All I can say is WHOAA!
Should have done this a long time ago. Do not know if it is faster yet, but the 'fun factor' is way up. 3rd to 4th gear pulls are freaken nuts now!:rockon:
Our next King Of The Hill is going to be a big one!

FROM THE STREETS TO THE TRACK...
Mustangs on Mosport June27, street tires & pads.
It was well in the 30C's according to the local wheather but it sure felt like 40C if you ask me! I added my stock HE on the bottom and hooked it up to the custom HE for some testing with higher boost on really hot days like this.
There was 50...
On Mosport I have two VERY hard braking zones, into 5a braking in an uphill hitting ABS sometimes before the back straight and into 8 slowing down from 240km/h plus to around 150km/h. The rest of the track are pretty easy on the brakes.
After every event I have to resurface the rotors to keep...
Saturday May 19 Open lapping.
Outside temps was around 20C with a little breeze, tires: GAC Hoosiers, fuel: 94 with octane booster.
1st setup: 3.100 upper only, 18deg timing, A/F 11.5 - 11.8 between 2 & 4 and 11.1 - 11.3 between 4 & 6. 20 HOT laps back to back! ECT max 198F, IT2 max 122...
The HE mod is a great success! I messed up my custom tune and ended up running the 'canned Pulley Tune' straight of the Predator. She still made 509RWHP with the 2.700 upper/ idler setup but was alittle lean in the lower rpms.
IT2's was never higher than 110...

I fired up the Cobra today for the first time since Oct last year. She was sitting idle for about 5 min, fan kicked in at 190 and went of at 180 ...
All of the sudden she started to run real rough and died, with a buzzer sound coming from the inside passenger fender???
Anyone know what this...
Found this bullitin...

My bung is 1in from no8 port tapped into my stock ported manifold. I am running an offroad X with a Magnaflow catback.
On long pulls WOT with an 3.400 upper and Predator 91 Pulley Tune I see 1550 to 1600... IT2 usually around 130 max and ECT in the high 220's.
I tried pulling timing and...
