Just a quick race between me and a friend of mine. We went from 2nd gear roll 30-120.

Power mods -

03 Cobra mods - borla exhaust, intake, 2.80 upper, apten ported blower, 315 nittos, SCT tune, put down 503rwhp/490rwtq

My 95 Cobra - bone stock 170,000mi longblock, intercooled DIY 60-1 turbo kit, 3.27 gears. Running 10.5 psi in this vid.

Expect some more vids when I crank the boost up and tune a few more issues out :coolman:

Damn it seems to be running better than when you ran the Lightning! How much boost now? Good video!

I cranked the boost up a tad, running 10.5 psi in this vid :thumbsup:

so you finally ran the 03 everyone was talking about on TM.com. Glad to see that. Crank the boost up to 12lbs and my guess is you will walk by him.
Can't wait to get mine together so I can see if it will run that strong.
What tuning have you done?

He don't need gears. He just needs to up the boost to 12-14 lbs. That will cure everything.
I am switching my 3.73's for some 3.27's.

He had 3.73 gears, but backed them back down when the turbo went on. I have a set of 3.55 here that came out of my mach if he wants a set. :) Oh and btw it is a diablo tune not sct :) And you forgot my xpipe! LOL. Yeah he already jumped the boost up on me from that L vid. 10.5 psi and this baby rolls out. I made 476rwhp/481rwtq on a loaded mustang dyno and those other numbers were from a dynojet before i bought the car. I dunno if people are still trying to figure out the diff in dynojet/mustang dyno but this would only be a 6% diff in mine. Good run man and we will have to do it again sometime!

There is something wrong when a turbo V8 pushing 10.5psi of boost can't keep up with a 500rwhp Cobra IMO.

Its a 100% bone stock motor on low boost? What don't you understand? Remember now, 94' cobra hardware isn't as potent as some of the new stuff.

Even with a 12 year old 170,000 mile motor - stock block, rods, pistons, crank, heads, upper/lower intake, pushrods, springs, rockers, hell even EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.

And this is all on about the smallest turbo you can put on these cars, a 60mm.

:poke:
