Well so far all the mods I have done is a drop in K&N, steeda tri-ax, 2 chamber flows and predator programer. I want something new to roll out this summer, I have a 2004 Cobra with 1600 miles on her. I was thinking of a pulley and a tune for my programmer from RWDT. I also want to go with an o/r H. If this the way to go?? Like I said I only have 1600 miles and I don't want to push the envelope to soon. What size pulley would you say I run?? Will the H give me any power or only sound? Are there any other key mods I should do??

Port the blower, put a 2.76 on it, go with a high flow cat style H pipe, and a tune. You should see 500/480-500.

I don't believe the new cobras are going to be anything special, they definately will not be any match for the new Z06's. If they are... be prepared to pay Z06 prices.

Every time we say, Ford better get it right this time (repeated cobra problems year to year, some production years even missed) they screw up again... Don't hold your breath.

so what size pulley would you say is good? I have heard the 2.93 uppr because it is not to drastic and it leaves room for a nice 4# lower. How would my warrenty be effected?

Uhhh....yea! You mod, you give up your warranty. Anything you would receive would be by the grace of the dealer. Be prepared to absorb any and all costs associated with this car if you pulley and/or tune it.

You gotta pay to play! If you want a fast car you have to take all thats come with it IMO.

yeah, a 2.93 is good

stop by the shop, I'll install your pulley (for a 4 pack of Guinness) :beer:

and if you need/want to put the stock back on... I'll do that too

And They won't be able to tell

Damn! Bitter and discouraged are we? I've got 45K miles on mine, 10K after the 2.8 and tune and all of it spirited driving with NO issue whatever. The only issue I have is the shifter, which I think I tweaked on a hard shift. I race every single dry weekend so she ain't no Dyno Queen.

They may not be able to tell if you swapped the pulley Doug, but they most definitely can tell if you've tuned the car...and that's enough to void in the case of many dealers or SVT. Now, if you know of a friendly dealer...that's a different story! :beer:
