    For those of you running the whipple and KB superchargers that are running 17-18 lbs of boost. Are you adding fuel to the gas? Running lower timing to use pump gas? What's the cut off point on pump gas with what timing? I want to upgrade but I just want a little info. Thanks

    I took my car out this morning and on my way back I had to get gas, I had to stop at cumberland farms. It's the only station in the area. Any way the pumps were pumping wicked slow and it took 5 minutes to get 3 gallons in the car. I then drove to my father's house about 4 miles away left the...

    For those searching for quiet exhaust

    When I first got my car getting a decent average loudness type of exhaust was first on my list. I bought the Steeda, it was pretty good and it laid down 419.0 rwhp w/no pullies. When I did my solid axle swap I bought a new stinger system off ebay. At first I thought the loudness was awesome, I...

    I was happy, for a while...

    I've owned my cobra for a little over 2 years and I finally got a 2.8 pulley for it. I was amazed at the power difference and I also thought that was going to be it for mods. I haven't been on this site for about a year and just a few days ago I'm going over all these threads. It seems that the...

    car cover question??

    Has anybody buying a fitted car cover run into whether you need a cover for a gt with spoiler or without. The cobra spoiler is kind of small and low profile. Do you think to go with a spoiler less car cover would fit? They dont have listing for cobra, just gt.
