Finally got the Cobra back from the shop!!

[blk96slowbra]

I finally got my car back two weeks ago and it went to the shop Dec 1. I had the engine completely rebuilt with forged internals, new fuel system with twin pumps and 80lb injectors, an an inter cooled procharger D1SC. With the tune it put down 526/418 on 12lbs of boost. Need to upgrade the pulley to an 8-rib and get a power pipe and ill clear 600hp.
It's so much fun to drive but I currently don't have enough tire to keep it grounded and I end up burning rubber through the first 3 gears.

What internals and compression did you go with

 

[blk96slowbra]

I went with the street mod 900 assembly from MMR. Compression is 9:1 I believe.

MMR Street Mod 900 Rotating assembly


Includes:

1500 HP Forged Steel Racing Crankshaft by Kellogg 100% US made

MMR 4340 Forged H-beam Rods with ARP Bolts

Manley Forged Pistons with tool steel Pins (any compression ratio)

Total Seal Rings

Clevite Performance Rod and Main

Nice, I'll bet that feels good! I am a big fan of the D1 blower. Get us some videos!

Nice. Don't forget to take out the trash and play with the kids while you're messing with that thing. I'd be pretty distracted. Sounds like a sturdy build. Good work.

It's a blast. I'll be sure to get some videos up when I get a chance. Still working out some kinks with the tune. For some reason it dies at random times when I have the clutch engaged and will be coasting to a stop or slowing down. Sometimes when I'm turning the wheel other times when I'm going straight.

Just so you know, that is a common problem after going boosted and you may want to do a search in the sn95 section to help with the solution. :beer:

Hey that car must be a lot of fun! Lmk what tires you get and how well they work, I will soon buy 18" bfg drag radials for a D1 car with less power. Were you at Fords Unlimited show in stl yesterday?

I need to upgrade the tires but ill probably just wait til I get new wheels so I can get offset wheels and put 315 on the rears. I was not at at that show, didn't even know it was going on. Where was it?

 

[1BD9D7]

J. S. McDonnell Park, It's a great all-Ford show, they had nearly 300 vehicles, mainly mustangs of all years. I plan to use a 315 also.

Here's a short clip of the exhaust and pic of the engine bay. I'll get some more videos of driving the car when I get a chance.

Looks good, I just painted the vc and intake black on mine, almost did the machined look on the ribs of the intake, but I just went with the quicker/easier option and went solid gloss black. I like the way yours is done, I like that D1 as well!

 

[blk96slowbra]

Thanks! I just ordered stuff to do a cop conversion to clean it up some under the hood.

Awesome !!! Waiting for vids of driving !!! :rockon:
