Geez, this thread still exists? I think I remember posting in it when I had a 03 Cobra... :)


Good threads never die, they just get unreadably large :coolman:

I need a tune that doesn't cost $600... any suggestions?

I talked a guy with a sweet redfire 03/04 Cobra today at QS&L in Sheffield. He recommended a mail-order tuner... but I forget who it was.

If it was a guy with a redfire cobra with fr500's, stay away, very far away from that guy. I installed the blower pulley, cai, exhaust, & idlers on that car and he didn't bother tuning the car (against my advice) til a few months later when he called me saying the car was pinging.

Your car isn't currently pullied right? I would recommend buying whatever upper pulley you want, and an auxillary pulley, a used xcal (unlocked of course) and order a tune from someone like Rick @ Amazon tuning.
Then take the car up to Bigshot Dyno and check the a/f and adjust accordingly.
It should be very affordable doing it this way.

I've used Big Shot for a few years now. He has done my car NA, w/ a Vortech, and just last week my turbo 2v. It made 530/572 and the car runs and drives amazingly. When it comes to a tune, it is not something to skimp on, so if you spend $500 and the guys stands behind it, then it is WELL worth it.

Terry built my car - it was the Bullitt he had for like 2 years :)

I need to look him up and get "freshened" - good to know he took the plunge and got a dyno!
