    Seafoam

    I have a n/a 96 Cobra with 110k. When applying Seafoam through the nozzle on the plenum, at what rate (minutes?) should it be sucked in. Yes, I'm attempting to restore power by removing years of carbon buildup. Is hydrolock-ing a concern?

    4.10 or ?

    I own a '96 Cobra with 110K miles. The engine is stock (and N/A). I've completed moderate suspension upgrades, MGW shifter...I'm considering swapping out the 3.27 gear with a 4.10 or 4.30. Any recommendations as to which ratio and why? Also, my stock clutch is going. I'm looking at the Exedy...

    Need Advice

    I own a 96 Cobra with a stock engine (113k miles) and minor modifications. I have many questions regarding upcoming maintenance and would greatly appreciate anyone's opinion/advice. The rad. is a Fluidyne and likely needs flushing. What do you think of Royal Purple's Purple Flush for this...

    San Jose, California

    I own a '96 Cobra. I live in the San Jose area. It needs minor work (e.g., brake-rotor/pad replacement, coolant flush etc). Can anyone recommend a decent shop/mechanic to do the work? I've had good luck with Mustang Ranch, but they're out of business. Thank you.

    Spark-plugs And Coolant

    I own a '96 Cobra with 110k miles. The engine is stock and non-aspirated. It needs new plugs. Is there any particular type/brand that will provide me the best performance (e.g., platinum)? Also, the radiator is a Fluidyne and the coolant needs replacement. Is there a preferable type/brand and...

    IMRC

    I own a 96 Cobra. I'm considering removing the IMRC and installing delete plates. I was told by a local auto-shop that doing this would require "burning a new chip" in order for the car's computer to acknowledge the absence of the IMRC. Is this true and necessary? Is implanting a new chip...

    CAI

    I own a 96 Cobra. Are there any cold-air-intakes/ram-air for my car that offer significant/noticeable gains in hp? In other words, are there any systems worth the $?

    exhaust, shifter, throttle-bodies

    I own a 96 Cobra. What combination x-pipe (or H or?) and cat-back exhaust would provide the most hp (this car is street driven)? The brands can be mixed. I'm leaning towards Magnaflow. I also wish to replace the stock shifter. I'm considering the Tri-ax or MGW (or any suggestions). If it's...

    radiators and spark-plugs

    I own a 96 Cobra. I'm fairly certain it needs a new radiator. If so, should I stick with aluminum? I'm quite familiar with Fluidyne, but they're a bit pricey. I've seen many ads for ones in the $200 range (e.g., Be Cool, Jegs). Am I safe with one of these (and Water Wetter or Purple Ice)? Also...

    IMRC

    I'm the original owner of a 96 Cobra with 75k miles. Over the past 6 years I've seen a gradual sluggishness worsening upon acceleration--essentially, the car doesn't want to move when I hit the pedal (and yes, I do consider the car's age). I had a compression check performed last year...

    seeking '96 Cobra-suspension advice

    I own a slightly modified 96 Cobra with 69k miles. The suspension is original stock. I'm considering Max. Mot. Starter Box which includes H&R race springs, cast/camb plates, pinion snubber, Bilstein sport-valved struts/shocks and spring isolators. They're asking $ 1,118. Is this the right way to...

    Demolet CAI questions

    I own a 96 Cobra. I recently purchased a Demolet CAI (system #4). I thought the down-pipe (with filter) were to be installed inside the fenderwell, but it will not fit due to an obstructing smog-pump (I think that's what it is). I've read that I can delete the down-pipe altogether, and attach...

    brake pads?

    I'm installing brake pads on my 96 Cobra. What's the consensus on EBC's "Yellowstuff" pads? How do they compare to Hawk?

    brake help

    I own a stock, 96 Cobra which I'm gradually modifying. The brakes have lost a lot of grip (of no surprise). Hawk pads have been recommended, along with stainless steel lines, and possibly sanding the rotors. I need advice. Also, should I be considering a greater/bigger caliper/rotor set-up--eg...

    96 Cobra questions

    My stock 96 Cobra needs tires. Is there a brand and size that offers both great grip and handling? I'm currently running (almost bald) 255/45/17 Yokohama A 520's. Should I go with 275 tires? Also, would switching to different rims (size, type or whatever) improve performance? I also want greater...
