    2004 Cobra as daily driver?

    That's the 03 my buddy bought for his wife. We drove down to Fla from NC to pick it up and all he talked about was he wasn't going to mod it like his 03. I was thinking :rolleyes: the whole time. I think it stayed stock two weeks. He dropped his 03 off at my home tonight with another...

    '04 Cobra SVT Cold Air Intake

    Do you know what the code was? It can't be the screen being removed. If you plan on anything close to 470 rwhp you may want to rethink the 4.10's. I installed mine when I had 410 rwhp. They were right for that power. But after a upgrading the pulley from a 2.93 to a 2.80 and then adding a...

    2004 Cobra as daily driver?

    Mine is no. 21 of all coupes built for the 03 model delivered early June of 02. It had a 99/01 Cobra Bassani x/p and catback put on it the first night. A 2.93 pulley went on in July of 02 with 99/01 JBA headers and a 2.80 pulley in August of 02. A four pound lower was added in June of last...

    First Time Running in the 1/4. Very happy with the times.

    Congrats, damn good times. I live in Granite Falls. I can't believe I haven't run into you around Hickory. Do you know a guy there named Richard L. from Hickory? He has a red 99 with a Vortech and an 01 with a PC. He's ran a few times with my buddy and I. We are about to start running...

    Considering buying '04 SVT...NEED ADVICE

    Maybe, maybe not. I think my engine is safe since JDM does all my tuning. They know what they are doing. I beat on mine within reason. There are people that just don't have a reason to be behind the wheel of a 400 crank HP car let alone one pushing 480 rwhp. As far as negativity, some...

    Considering buying '04 SVT...NEED ADVICE

    I've had mine since June of 2002, no. 21 of all 03 coupes built. I put a full Bassani on it the first day I had it. A 2.93 pulley and JBA's went on it in July of 02 and a 2.80 the next month. A four pound lower went on it April of last year increasing boost to 18 psi. It picked up a few...

    Camber Plates/Adjusters

    I've ran MAC and Kenny Brown on past Cobras. I saw a set of Maximum Motorsports four-bolt at Rockingham and bought a set when I lowered my 03. These things are built for strength and look really good. The four bolt are made to hold the weight transferred to the strut tower when you go to coil...

    03 Snake or Saleen SC?

    A standard SC-281 (not the E) and a Roush have hypereutectic pistons, same as the 99/01 Cobras. They can't take a lot of boost. You're not going to pulley up an SC-281 or a Stg 3 and pull 16-18 psi safely no matter how much fuel you can pump into it. I'm not going to beat on a Ford product...

    Looks good. I think I'll go with that kit when I do a roll bar this summer.

    04 SVT Cobra

    I highly doubt SLP is going to be a new revolution in the 03/04 Cobra aftermarket. If anybody knows 4V engines it PHP and and now JDM. SLP hasn't been around them long enough to come out with bolt-on's that are significantly better. SLP may make a good header but I doubt it will be...

    Need Advice... 03 Cobra

    I'd stay away from them. I wouldn't call a pulley puller a press so they must be going to pull the snout and put it in a press. I met a guy at Bristol last year that had the pulley change the same way. A few weeks later the blower started puking up parts of the screw. Apparently the endcap...

    used 03 Cobra or New Mach 1??

    It's like anything else, if you don't do it right or are stupid, then you'll blow it up. That's why I use JDM Engineering for all my blower mods and programming. I'm about to turn over 33k miles and I have beat the mortal piss out of my car. It is a veteran of over 150 passes down a track on...

    used 03 Cobra or New Mach 1??

    I installed JBA 1 5/8 headers made for a 99/01 Cobra on my 03. I installed BBK LT's on my 01 Cobra and the same headers on a friends 03 Cobra. I dropped the k-member on all three. With the KM off, there isn't really any nut/stud that's hard to get too. It's a lot of work but not too...

    used 03 Cobra or New Mach 1??

    I owned a 99 and an 01 Cobra. I had about as much in my 01 for engine mods as I have in my 03. My 01 Cobra with every bolt-on I could get: 305 rwhp SAE, forgot what the torque was. My 03 with a few bolt-ons:500 rwhp SAE and 550 rwt.

    99 Cobra Gear Swap?????

    Most of the time a .03 shim on FRPP gears will get it close. I think it may be something else. You should have installed a new crush sleeve on your pinion gear. You have to crush it down by tightening the nut on the pinion gear. It takes close to 150-200 foot pounds. Once you get it close...

    used 03 Cobra or New Mach 1??

    I haven't bought an issue of Mustang Trader in a few months but there were several listed a few months ago. You can get a damn good deal if you work at it. There are sites on the net that you can enter what you are looking for and someone will usually contact you with an exceptional deal...

    3.73 Gear Ratio for '03 Cobra????

    But .18 at 6000 rpm is 1080 revs more per minute. I run 3.90's in my 03. I had 4.10's for a few months. The main reason I changed them is because I was well over 7k rpm when I crossed the line. Hopefully when I get a Whipple this summer, I'm probably going to go to 3.73's. Right now at 503...

    SVT vs STI

    That may be true for your average Joe Blow since it will make him better with AWD. HR only got around a 2.30 60 foot on the Cobra and the sti was well below two flat. I'll guarantee it if Evan Smith was driving the 03 he would have topped it by 2-3 tenths.
