I am considering going with the MM aluminum rack bushings and the solid steering shaft. How difficult are these to replace. I took a quick look and it looks straighforward. Are there any "gotchas" with these upgrades? -Jon

Is anyone running a Whipple supercharger with 91-octane? I was wondering what the maximum practable boost is for California gasoline. Does any tuner even offer a chip for this combination? Thanks, Jon

About 10K miles ago I installed a MSD Stacker on my 2003 Cobra. Reference link: MSD Stacker installed To date I have not been able to substantiate any gain in power or mpg. I was hoping the MSD would help address the stumble my car has with tight (.035) plug gaps but there...

Every once in a while I hear a buzzing (maybe rattling?) noise near the drivers side kick panel. Maybe something behind there is loosly mounted. Anyone have this problem? -Jon

I work in San Jose and am looking for a shop that can weld-in a pair of subframe connectors for my '03 Cobra. Any recommendations? The place local to my work quoted $400 in labor. Seems high to me. -Jon

I have finally installed an XM system in my car. I was at first reluctant because I was really turned off by the ugly black wort of an antenna that I had to place on the roof. However, I tried mounting it right next to the stock antenna on the passenger-side fender and the reception has not...

I had heard that a number of Ford OEM ignitions are multisparking, is ours?

I was driving down a back road this morning to road test the MSD Stacker. At WOT and about 5500 (in 3rd gear) a loud sound is heard from underhood and the power hits a plateau. It almost felt like it would not rev any higher but I was running out of road too soon to know. Boost peaked at 13.2...

As far as I know, nobody has tried installing an MSD stacker on a Cobra yet. I installed the stacker because I was curious to learn if it would help the rough running. My car is has a 2.93 pulley, chip, Steeda CAI, and Bassani exhaust. Like a few other Cobras, my car either misses on the low...

Just wondering, looking for a review.

Where is the ignition module on this car? I am trying to trace back the coil wires but I get lost in the maze of wire harnesses.

I do a lot of driving on the twisty mountain roads and after 30k the Cobra's suspension feels vague and somewhat out of touch with the road. I am hard on suspensions and every car I have owned begins to "loosen up" after about 25K. The Cobra's suspension is less than confidence inspiring...

I noticed that the MSD Stacker-8 is finially available. Has anyone tried one yet? -Jon

I've seen a few pics of amps mounted to the (trunckside of the) back seats but I am not exactly sure how they are fastened. Do you screw a mounting board directly into the seats? Where? Can anyone elaborate on the details of their install? Thanks

Now that the KB blower has been out for nearly six months (maybe more?) what is everyone's opinion on the reliability of the unit, for moderate boost levels? Are these blowers ready for daily driver use?

A few of you who were at this weekend's NorCal dyno day will recall that I had severe missing on the dyno and could not break 400hp despite having a L-pulley, chip, and exhaust. Vince, a technician and our dyno operator, suggested my spark plug gap may be too wide. I originally gapped my NGK...

I've posted this before. I am wondering if anyone else has this noise. My engine makes a noise that sounds just like a baby rattle when under light throttle or coasting. The sound is a constant frequency at all rpms. All is quiet at idle and when under load. Do you think it could be the PCV...

How about a Mobile Audio/Electronics forum?

I am going to replace the Mach 460 system in my car but I am stuck on the speaker selection. I think I can fit 6.5" units in the stock location with a little metal trimming work. Any recommendations for 6.5" component system speakers?

I'm still trying to fiqure out how I am going to do the auid in this car. Has anyone ever tried those Q-form kick panel speaker enclosures? Do they get in the way of the clutch and such?

I am considering replacing the audio system in the Cobra. Head unit, amps, and crossovers are pretty straight forward but I am stuck on speakers. It seems that the stock locations are not optimum: the tweeter is too far from the woofer --bad imaging. Does anyone have a creative solution...

Hi all, I have arranged for a dyno day at APEX in Santa Clara for 7/27. The dyno charge is $75 and includes three runs with A/F. You will also receive a print out of your dyno run. If you bring a formated 1.44mb floppy disk you may also take home the run file for viewing with Dynojet's...

Look what just showed up in the mailbox!:-D 91 Octane, 2.93, Bassani exhaust, Billetflow T\B Dyno to follow next week. Anyone else with this combo?

Are shorty headers even worth it? Has anyone experience more than a 10hp increase after installation? It seems like you need to go to at least mid-lengths to pick up any power. I'm having a k-member installed and I am on the fence about the decision to include the headers. From what I...
