This is my 6th Fox body but my first non-5.0. I had one pre-87 Fox but that was a 85 GT...which I kept stock. My game plan with this 86 LX is to start with the suspension and eventually upgrade the weak 3.8 CFI to a 5.0 EFI or larger displacement V-8 set up...a Terminator motor is another...

Like the title says...who built your SVT motor on the Romeo Niche-Line??? My 2003 Sonic Blue (#225 of 8,394) was hand-built with pride by: Bob Clark J Donovan Thanks fellas... :beer: Later...Dave

There's a Dyno day up at Yimi Motorsports in Santa Clarita (socal, just north of LA) on Saturday the 18th. First pull starts at 9AM and ends with the last car on the rollers. The BBQ grill will be up and runnin' so bring some dogs, burgers and drinks if you like. Event is sponsored by...

I just picked up a 4 pc BF idler set to go with my upper JDM 2.8 pulley. I'm trying to figure out the correct belt size for my particular application. When I first put the 2.8 on last year, I threw on a Gates K080740 and had no problems with slip. I actually made 466 RWHP at a peak of 14...

Anybody runnin' the Mach 1 chin spoiler on the 03-04 Cobra??? I like the looks of it on the Mach and thinking about throwing one on my Termy. The stock 03-04 Cobra has a small black plastic strip below the bumper. Does the Mach 1 chin spoiler bolt up in the exact same spot as this plastic...

I just saw a thread which mentioned the fitting size for the crossover burp plug but I forget where it was. I tried searching but I can't locate it. I wanted to pick up a spare burp plug fitting because the stock one is getting a little worn...I'm afraid that during the next flush it may be...

Installed the 30-4100 on my 03'. Install went well but the gauge seems very erractic in it's operation. I know the readings will jump around but I can barely read it. Also, it seems to be reading a little on the lean side. On the dyno, I'm fine but according to this gauge I'm runin' lean...

Optima Battery??? Looking to buy an Optima Battery for my Termy... Well, there's been a lot of talk about Optima going down hill in recent years but I've always had good results in the past. I think I'll pull the trigger again. I kinda figure the battery comes with a 3 year/36 month...

I just want some opinions on fan settings... I have the typical bolt on pulley equipped 03 Cobra(mods listed below)and I was wondering how I should go about choosing my fan settings. I've been chasing some cooling system woes all summer but everything seems to be well buttoned up now...

Well...since I removed some weight(150+lbs) from the rear of the Cobra...it seemes to sit much higher now!!! The gap in the front well is only 2" while the gap in the rear is 4"!!! I want to purchase some springs but most have a bigger drop in the front. What should I do to bring the...

I'm thinking about using a 50 shot of N2O at the track...mostly for it's cooling effect. I have a good 91 octane SCT street tune, 2.8 pulley, catted x-pipe, 3" CB and open air filter. I already have NGK TR-6 plugs gapped to 32...I think??? I know this isn't a big shot or anything but...

Well…you know the old saying, “You may not be able to find one single place on your vehicle to lose 100 lbs but rest assure you can find over a hundred places to lose 1 lb!” Since every 100 lbs is good for approx. a tenth or so in the ¼ mile (or the equivalent to 10 HP), I’ve decided to...

I'm thinking about replacing my stock 03-04 Cobra seats with some light weight aftermarket units. Unlike my old 5.0's that had the seat belts mounted to the transmission tunnel, my 03 Cobra has the seat belt attached to the seat slider/rack/frame. What do you guys do about the seat belt...

Anybody have one of these installed??? http://secure-order-area.net/paulshp/cgi-bin/webstorecgi/webstore.cgi?page=525550a&type=&frame=&cart_id=3442852_29834 Kinda expensive but it's made out of aluminum...wonder what the quality and weight is like??? I was thinking about fabbing my own...

I have a 466 HP daily driver that sees the canyons much more then the track. Should I keep the stock sway bars and run PU bushings or should I go with the Eibach sway bar kit that also replaces the bushings and the links??? If I stay with the stock bars, I'll probably just replace the...

I'm thinking about running Nitto NT555 Extremes(295/45/18) on a 18x10.5" rim out back and a (275/40/18) up front on a 18x9" rim. These tires are priced well, have good reviews, last and seem to perform well. My question is, we all know that the Nitto DRs run narrow and you can actually fit...

My Buddy Charlie has a shop/dyno up in Santa Clarita, CA. He specializes in GM/Vettes but he pretty much works on or dynos any type of muscle/sports cars. If anybody lives around SFV or SCV, look him up...he'll take good care of you!!! Just tell him Dave with 03' Cobra sent you!!! Had him...

Had some maintenance done to the Cobra at my Buddy's shop today and afterwards we threw it on the DYNOMITE dyno: 464.6 RWHP/478.6 RWTQ (2.8,CAI,CB,X,TUNE, H/E, I/C TANK) My previous best on a DYNOJET was: 466.32/473.06 (2.8,CAI,CB,TUNE) Does anybody know how the DYNOMITE compares...

After searching around a while, I finally found an independently owned and operated NAPA store in SOCAL that will stock the Gates #27097 3/8" submersible hose(NAPA# H213) needed for the PPRV delete modification!!! :rockon: From what I'm told, most NAPA stores will not order it because it...

Well guys... I'll be installing some gauges in the near future and need some input... I've always bought Autometer and had good luck with them. I was told that the "Lunar" style is a good match for the stock SVT gauges but it doesn't seem like anybody has them anymore??? I've used the...

I'm want to make more power(500+)and cool the intake charge in the process. I like the idea of installing an alcohol injection kit because of the low cost and ease of installation. Porting the stock intake is also an option but it is more involved and will cost a bit more when all is said...

Hey guys... I'm looking to upgrade my intercooler coolant tank and heat exchanger...any opinions or comments on the subject??? I'm runin' a pulley equipped Cobra that makes 466 RWHP at 15 lbs of boost. I'm pretty sure my IAT temps are getting pretty high especially when at the track or in...
