p1sc procharger on a 96 cobra

[Salmonsnake]

i bought a p1sc procharger for my cobra and i have a few questions for you guys, my car has a 143k on it but its had a fairly easy and good life, i bought it bone stock from an old man at 114k. the blower has a 10 lb pulley on it and the engine is stock. is that an ok boost level ? should it have a conservative tune w that many miles ? im hoping for 415 rwhp.

do a compression test first. if it passes it should be fine. might want to start with a 6 or 8 pound pulley, make sure you have plent of injector/fuel pump and a real conservatite tune.

You can run the boost, just have the timing conservative.

alright thats what i was thinking guys, 10lbs, not much timing and conservative, so far it seems 400 whp is very easy w my setup. Hutch, idk when ill be back out that way, it would be awesome to get out next summer ! i bought Mikes p1sc setup so now i run you boosted guys down through the straights too ! lol

Wayward put the 96 mystic with 8psi got 419rwhp and 398rwtq.

I saw your car run start low and work up to it.
What gears are you running

I started with 10psi a lot lower miles and then went to 13 psi.
The car is running so strong it would give a lots cars a run for there money.

i have 4.10's in im thinking of stepping back to a 3.73 or even 3.55. I drove Mikes car a couple times and had a blast. today i pulled the tank out and realized that terminator pumps are COMPLETELY different than the 96 cobra setup is... needless to say i need a fuel pump. what pump should i run that will hold 10psi?

 

[Stang Stalker]

I am running the Ford GT Pump I think a little overkill but oh well
I am running the 3.73 and at 90 mph my 5th becomes a high 4th
with the Boost. :thumbsup:

ok cool, i went with a walbro 255lph. i was doing some research and it seems that most use that pump. im pretty excited to run boost. i need to order the procharger stud kit to mount the blower and then a guage pod for my a/f and boost guage. then get johns email tune and im ready to rock !

first off centris love gears, as how fast your boost rises is directly affected by how fast rpm rises. 3.55s and 3.73s will make your 5000.00 p1 kit feel like a turd. leave the 3.55s for the pd blowers and turbos. i would do 4.10s or 4.30s. i had 4.30s and a D1 in my 01. it was an absolute beast. second, you never want to stay in boost in 5th gear o/d. keep doing that and see what happens. lastly who told you to use an 03/04 pump in a 96? 03/04 is for a returnless style fuel system and a 96 is return style. with the use and knowledge here in this site, it amazes me peeps dont know stuff like this.

with a p1sc i figured the 4.10's would be almost to much gear but a 3.73 would let the car stretch its legs a bit more but still rev fairly quickly. 4.10's are in it now and theyll stay there unless i dont like them. im fairly new to the whole works and not to forum savy, i suppose trial and error has been my friend so far !

Johns tunes are right on the money.
He did one for me when I put the Eaton on.
Just minor changes at the Dyno.

Mike had the same story, the only thing John changed on the dyno was a little more timing, so the email tune was actually safer and mild. hes going to be in mn in a couple weeks and he said that if i bring my car to his buddies shop in chanhassen that he'd tune it. i thought that was pretty cool

 

[Stang Stalker]

Thats makes it nice

 

[Salmonsnake]

yeah your telling me !

 

[93&99cobrasvt]

Have fun with it brother

When I first did my Vortech install it was a t45 10lbs boost with 430's in the rear.
Soooo much fun!! Now the setup is c4 auto 3grand stall & 410's. With a safe tune things will be just fine.
