I'm back... and it feels good!

[4camwonder]

I thought I would let you guys know I'm back on the forums after a long time off.

I recently picked up a 94 cobra, white, optioned out, and full 03-04 cobra interior. car has been sitting for a while but no big deal as my first cobra had been the same way. I picked this one up since I've been kicking myself in ass for selling my 97 cobra...

For now I want to get the 94 up to the same performance as the 97. sadly it will take a lot more to get it there.

The 97 had 4.10s, a built t45 and spec clutch, and manifold back exhaust. it went 13.00 @ 105 in full weight on DR's. (yes spare tire and all, even had my books and crap from school in it).

So I would like to get the 94 to run the same time for now, and a lot faster later. I've never had a 5.0L car so any advice would be great. an

And just so you you guys know... damn it feels good to be back in a cobra. :rockon:

Heads and cam should put you at least over 300.

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

cams, intake, and heads will take you far along with longtubes

right now it has a cam (i don't know what the specs are), and long tubes with full cat back, and a CAI.


and I'll have pics up later this week if i get a chance to wash it... stupid exams taking all of my time...

 

[crazycarlo]

get heads, an intake and some gears and it will be good.

 

[Pushrodsnake]

At least 3.73s on the gears. They're perfect for a stock H/C/I 5.0, but I'm not sure how much lower you would want to go depending on what kind of aftermarket H/C/I you go with.

 

[Hockeyman48]

Nitrous!

 

[My94GT]

geat some 3.73s in asap. also look into h\c\i or you can pick up a used s trim or something of the sort. used blowers are to be had for a damn good deal now

Did the Cobra come stock with 1.7 rockers? You could always shave the heads for compression and get some port work done. GT40s are a good head that can be massaged for good power

Yeah. They're 1.7:1 made by Crane, and have a Ford part number.

I hate to differ, but porting GT40 heads isnt really a viable option unless you're getting the port job for almost free. Much better aftermarket heads are available at not much more in cost than what you would pay in a port/polish job and the money you'd get from just selling the GT40's outright to someone.

AFR, TFS, Edelbrock, World Products, all make nice Windsor heads - you just need to decide what your goals are in terms of power levels.

 

[4camwonder]

thanks for all the advice guys. in all honesty I'm looking to get around 400-450 reliable horsepower with a very conservative tune; so a blower is in the cars future. i would like to avoid rebuilding the bottom end as long as possible, but if it has to happen it's whatever.

should have pics up this weekend.

 

[98 svt]

Glad to see you back. Any pics of your old car? I think I remember you.

Check out my signature. Thats about what ported GT40 heads and a T-Moss Cobra lower intake will get for ya along with E-cam and full longtube exhaust and chip. Not too shabby in my opinion.
