It is finally time to put new tires on my 2011 Shelby GT500 SVTPP. I was lucky enough to get around 19,800 miles out of the stock G2s. Like many others I dont want to put the stock G2s back on the car and would rather use a different tire. Besides the NITTO INVOs, I found out that Michelin Pilot...
I figured since I daily drive my car in this SOCAL summer heat with the VMP 2.59 pulley and tune, cooling mods were in order. I was just going to get the Heat Exchanger but all of the awesome members of this forum also talked me into getting the radiator too. The install will take place next...
was finally able to get my baseline dyno and install of the VMP 2.59 pulley and tune by Justin. To give you a little background on my car, when the stock dyno pull was made all I had on the car was a resonator delete and an Airraid Filter. I had the dyno and install done and RPMM here in San...

Just recently whenever the car has not fully warmed up yet it stalls. The wierd part is that there is no stumble in the idle before it does it. I would be sitting at a light waiting for the green, the car would be idling fine and would just turn off:shrug: . I even think that it even tried to...
I have been having some problems latley with the rear end. Let me give you some background. About a month ago when ever I would go WOT and the car got just above 70mph the rear end starts to sway back and forth. I have taken it to one of the local mustang shops and had the IRS and rear sway bar...
I replaced my stock battery with a Optima Red Top a couple of months ago. I recently bought my wife and I new car so I am now using her old car as a daily driver so the Cobra gets driven on the weekends. The problem is now if the car sits for a week the battery doesn't ever have enough juice to...
I am going to put an aluminum flywheel and alluminum driveshaft on my car. What is the cost for a Fidanza alluminum flywheel and for an 03/04 Cobra flywheel? Is one better than the other and why? I think I am going to go with the PST driveshat. Thanks for the help.
Well a couple of weeks ago the car would start to missfire around 2500 to 3000 rpms. Ocassionaly the exhaust would have a popping sound at idle. Now the car is missing at all rpms and has an off pitched exhaust note when driving and at idle. I then added new plugs and new COPs. The old plugs...
Latley I have been getting a misfire around 2600 to 3000 rpms. Today when I drove to work it was missing really bad from 2000 to 3000 rpms. After 3000 rpms the car is fine. This is under normal acceleration. The weird part is the problem seems to be intermitent. Later today I drove the car and...
I am trying to diagnose a problem that I have. After being in boost and letting off the pedal i usally smell fuel. This only seems to happen after I am in boost and not during. My air fuel ratio on the Dyno is around 11.5/11.6. The only thing I can think of is maybe my powerpipe. Is it possible...
Does any one no were I can get a dual Pod A Piller in Charcol Grey? I have been looking everywere and can only find them in Black. Considering more than half of our cars all have the Charcol Grey interior I find it hard to believe that someone isn't making these in Grey. Any help would be...

I am looking to buy a Vortech SC Trim with Aftercooler for my 2001 Cobra. I am looking for the tuner kit since I don't need all the parts in the full kit. Does anyone know the best place to get a tuner kit?

Recently while my car is at idle I hear a popping noise coming from the exhaust. This isn't the typical exhaust noise, this one actually shakes the car a little bit. Also I have experinced a little hessitation/sputtering on occasion in low RPMs. I just changed the plugs about 1000 miles ago...
I tripped a lean code after I got my car tuned. The code is P0171 (System to Lean Bank 1). At first I thought it was the Mass Air Meter but if it were that I think it would have read lean on both Banks. I think it may be the O2 sensor. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Can you use the 03 Cobra Halfshafts in the 01 Cobra? Is there any additional parts needed if you use these? I need to get a new halfshaft and was trying to find the best price for them. Thanks
I am on my third stock Ford clutch and this one is going out as well. Throwout bearing is once again shot. Since my car is no longer under warranty and I want to replace it with an aftermarket one this time. My question is what are all the parts I am going to need. As of right now I know I will...
I posted this in the New Edge forums already and figured I would post it here as well. I am just about ready to go the supercharger route. My delema is which one to get. I have narrowed it down to two. I want to go either with the Vortech S-Trim w/ aftercooler (GT impeller), or the SC-Trim w/...
I am just about ready to go the supercharger route. My delema is which one to get. I have narrowed it down to two. I want to go either with the Vortech S-Trim w/ aftercooler (GT impeller), or the SC-Trim w/ aftercooler (Cobra Impeller). Keep in mind I still have a stock block. I really want to...
I haven't used my AC since last year because I like to drive with the windows down. It has been pretty hot here the last couple of days so I decided to use it but when I turned it on it just blew hot air out. To make things worse I am just over 36,000 miles which means my warranty is expired...
I am looking to put some new tires on my Cobra. I have Michillan Pilot XGTs now but I wanted to go with something a little less expensive. I was looking at picking up some Nitto 555's. Does anyone know of a good tire to use on an 18" rim that has good traction but isn't extremely expensive? Thanks.
I will be taking my Cobra to the track soon and wanted to know what the best shift points are for my car. My last dyno was 316rwhp and 316rwtq SAE. Looking at my dyno graph I believe my peak torque is around 4800rpms. I have 4:10 gears so I will be going into 4th gear. Thanks.
Well I finally decided to get the car dyno tuned. Tune was done by Shawn Ellis (onerichrunner) at superior automotive with a Diablo Sport Chip. I was quite happy with the results.
316 rwhp and 316 rwtq SAE.
I will post the dyno sheet as soon as I can get a picture of it. Thanks again to...
