I did a quick search and mostly found estimates on having someone rebuild a motor for you, but I'm curious of the cost if you do the assembly yourself. I have a mmr 5.0 stroker shortblock in a iron block with, as far as I know, untouched heads. Nothing is wrong with my motor other than the...
My buddy let me borrow his ccw drag pack off his 03 cobra so I can make some track passes the next 2 weekends. I put them on to make sure they were gonna fit and clear everything. They're 16" wheels with 315/45/16 mickey Thompsons. My car is filthy in these pics and so are the rims but I had to...
I've been tuning my car this week and while it has been setting idling I've noticed a decent amount of liquid on the ground by my tailpipes. At first I thought it was raw fuel because of how rich it was but once I leaned it out there's still some moisture on the ground once its been running for...
I recently wrote a base tune for my car using the sct advantage software and got a couple codes when I started it up. P0412, secondary air injection switching valve A ckt, and p0443 evap system purge valve ckt. I have a complete aftermarket fuel system so I removed the evap canister and...
I had this problem when I first put the rails and vortech on a couple years ago and used a 90° pipe fitting but I switched to a bigger return line and I don't wanna use a pipe fitting again. Basically I have the return line coming out the front of the rails and the fitting is hitting the coolant...
Cars getting tuned this saturday. Wanna take some guesses on what it'll make?
Specs:
5.0 stroker
Somewhere over 11:1cr
Stock B heads/cams
Imrc deletes
Mac L/T, prochamber
Vortech si-trim
3.25 pulley I believe
Procharger 3 core intercooler
E85
I'm thinking around 12-13psi
Hoping...
I'm having trouble finding a place to route my fuel lines into the engine bay. I'm using -10 feed and -8 return so they're pretty big. About the only place that seems to havr enough room is the trans tunnel but I don't think that'd be a good spot because of the heat. Any opinions or pics guys?
I'm trying to decide which pumps I need to run. My car has a 5.0 stroker with over 11:1 cr, stock b head top end, a/a intercooled vortech si-trim @ around 12-13psi. I have aeromotive rails, regulator, -10 feed, -8 return, 03/04 tank, and I'm getting ready to buy a div x hat. I just sold my old...
I have a fore dual pump hat for 03/04 cobra tanks for sale. It doesn't come with a sending unit tho. Looking for $250 shipped. I also have 2 brand new never installed division x stryker 340 pumps. They retail for $150 on lethal performance. I'll do $200 for the pair. Pm me or text 812-499-7005...
I'm thinking about switching to a sumped tank with a big single external pump. This tank is syill in my car and its not coming out til I have an interested buyer. I bought the tank brand new 2 summers ago and its only had e85 ran through it. It has a fore precision dual pump hat with twin 255...
I'm getting ready to pull my engine next week and while its out I want to pull the heads to replace the head bolts with studs. My car already has a newer short block in it so I'm assuming the heads have been resurfaced once already. How many times can they be resurfaced? I was reading on...
Anyone running front or rear coilovers with strange shocks/struts? I'm looking for a coil over set up geared towards straight line traction, not auto-x or road racing. I've searched and have mostly only seen upr kits and it seems like they're getting mixed reviews. Most ppl are complaining that...
I'm getting ready to re-plumb my fuel system because I'm not happy with the way its routed now and where my regulator is mounted. I have a fore dual pump hat in a 03/04 cobra tank and aeromotive rails and regulator. I also run only e85. I've read so much debate on whether or not u need a special...
I have a 97 cobra with a s-trim and a procharger 3 core intercooler set up as a blow through maf sensor with the bypass vented to the atmosphere. Im running a sct ba2600 maf sensor. I had the car tuned last summer but the tuner said my maf sensor pegged at 5600rpm. It said it was because I used...
Well I've owned my cobra for about 3 years but have never ran it down a drag strip. It seems like every summer I start some big project on it and don't get much time to hit the track. After I fix my intercooler piping and get it tuned I'm gonna focus on some budget drag suspension mods to get it...
I've been thinking of selling my car or possibly trading for a new edge gt or fox body coupe with mild mods plus cash. Major Mods are listed in Sig. Any questions feel free to text 812-499-7005. Thanks.
Well I noticed the other night that my car has a vacuum leak. I don't know how long its been there but the car runs and idles fine. The leak is from on top of the throttle body. Apparently there is supposed to be a screw covered with a plastic plug that screws into the top of the throttle body...
Well I got my car out for the first time in a month or so and it kept wanting to overheat on me. After I got it back home I noticed steam rolling out of my defrost vent and the back side of my hood(by the windshield) and a little antifreeze on my floorboard. Upon further inspection I saw a small...
I'm looking for a slot style maf and a wiring harness adapter for the 96-04 mustangs. Either a sct ba5000 or the hpx maf will do. I will buy just the maf, just the wiring adapter, or both. just let me know what you have with a message. thanks:beer:
So today i was showing a buddy my vortech setup on my car when I noticed my belt was starting to shred on the outside edge and was badly worn on the back side in some spots. If u remember i made a thread about 3 weeks ago about my surcharger pulley grinding into my alternator. That ended up...
I noticed a grinding/vibrationcoming from my engine the other day but didn't have a chance to check it out til today and saw that the blower pulley was grinding into my alt. When i put the blower on everything seemed to be lined up correctly and i didn't use any spacers. I had been driving the...
Well a couple weeks ago my 3rd TOB started squealing, and starting yesterday I can feel a slight vibration/grinding feeling in my car. From what I can tell its the TOB. What I'm trying to figure out is why I keep going thru TOBs. For refernce I did a t56 swap last summer around july/august and...
Well i got my car tuned yesterday and my tuner said i pegged my maf at 5600rpm. I just have a flange welded into the 3" intercooler piping for the maf sensor, and it is blowthru. He told me if i put it in a 4" pipe it shouldn't peg. Now i know very little about tuning but I've had quite a few...
Well i finally got my car tuned yesterday. I pegged the maf at 5600rpm, my tuner said its because i have the maf sensor in a 3" pipe and if i put it in a 4" it should be alright. So foe now he set the rev limiter at 5600rpm. At 18 degrees timing, still a little rich, and at 9.5psi it made...
I know there are a lot of "guess my Hp" threads, but my setup is a little different. If all goes well tomorrow I'll be hauling my car to get tuned Tuesday afternoon. My Mods are in my sig, the vortech is a s-trim with an upgraded impeller and a 3.25 pulley. Its a blowthru setup with a procharger...
