Nice set of mods you have. I'm running the 2.8h non mammoth and non LC at 19.8 psi and I made 602. You will be happy.

Very nice set of mods and you're gonna have a blast come Spring and Summer. I can definitely imagine how tough it is to have to wait for the install.

Sound like fun op! What kind of fuel are you running with 20 psi? If it's 93 octane you might want to throw some torco in there!

Torco is an octane booster. My tuner recommends it after 18lbs. on 93 octane for added insurance, in case of bad gas etc. Congrats on your mods!!!

My tuner will only tune 17-18 psi on 92-93 octane. 20 psi in my opinion is pushing it. Better use torco for a safety measure.

Hopefully you ordered the 3+ clutch. I have the 3 with a Spec flywheel and although it holds power fine it chatters a little and is a bitch to drive in traffic.

We had our 2nd child 2 weeks ago and I have not even had time to go and even look at the car much less do anything to it. Hopefully now that the holidays are over and we are about to go back to work I will get in my old routine and give the Cobro some much needed love.

Plenty of cobra guys have used torco with great results. Do a search on it and you should find quite a bit of useful info on how much to use per tank.

My tuner was telling me he uses 8 oz of Torco to every tank. Its $250 per 5 gallons. So it costs about an extra $5-$10 a tank he said. It raises the octane to 98 I believe he said. Its good for an additional 20-50 rwhp.

Op if you don't want to try the torco just put a bigger pulley on there to drop the boost by 1-2.
