    Sorry for such a newb question but....

    I am brand new to the S197 body style. I picked up an 07 SGT about a week and a half ago. I have had Pre PI GTs, PI GTs, and some SN95 4Vs...but these new 3V motors are foreign to me. Ive heard people talking about CMDPs and CMCV deletes. What do the acronyms stand for and what do these parts...

    What kind of numbers should I be making?

    The reason I ask is because this is the first time I ever had a GT up on the dyno. It's always been my Cobras previously. I kinda didnt know what to expect. As far as performance mods go for power...I really only have a JLT CAI, BBK 70mm, Trickflow plenum, O/R X pipe and Borla Stingers. The...

    Back in the 2V game again..a few Qs

    Well after having a 96 GT, a 97 Cobra with a fully built motor and every single bolt on, then going to a gas saver SVT Focus for a year, I am finally back in the 2V game. On Weds of this week I bought a 2004 5speed white GT with 15K miles. Long Story short I plan on keeping it N/A. With that...

    Full exhaust on a 97 Cobra,What to get?

    Ok, so Im contradicting myself by saying only newbies on here ask exhaust questions. To make a long story short, I hydrolocked my old motor, and am having a new one built by Mike Murillo (forged internals and all the goodies). Upon pulling my engine, they noticed I have a crack in the Motorsport...

My best 60 ft was a 2.26 and my best 1/4 was a [email protected] . Is this normal? I seemed to be getting tire spin a lot cause Im running BFGoodrich KDW with stock 3.27...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    I have a 97 Cobra and I keep having this cooling problem despite a new radiator and thermostat. The car will drive fine, then start to warm up, but when it does it goes all the way to the L in normal. It will stay there for about 5 minutes then drop back down to the R/M in normal. Something is...

    SILENT RECALL ON 03 Cobras???!!!

    So I was talking to someone who had one of the first 10 03 Cobras and they were from NJ, but moved to San Antonio. They had 78,550 miles on it because they made trips back and forth. They said at 60,000 miles the left head gasket assembly blew and Ford replaced it. Does anyone have any more info...

    Glowing exhaust!!!???

    My friends have been telling me they see flames or glowing coming from my exhaust when Im shifting at high rpms. I can hear it gurgle when Im shifting, almost like a backfiring sound, but not quite. Its like that backpressure sound from a real throaty exhaust. The only intake/exhaust mods are...

    # of cats on a stock 97 Cobra???

    OK so I bought a 97 pacific Green Cobra today and when I looked under the car, the H pipe had only 4 cats. I know for shure the stock 96-98 GTs have 6 cats and the stock 99+ GTs have 4 cats. Is it the same rule for Cobras? Do the stock 96-98 Cobras come with 6 or 4 cats from the factory? Thanks...

    03 Cobra cold air on Bullitt??

    Does the 03 Cobra UPR cold air intake work on the Bullitt? I know both cars have the twin throttle body design, but would it work? Any extra hoses on the 03 that the Bullitt doesn't have and vice versa? Thanks-David

    Off road H voids warranty???

    Ok I have an 01 Bullitt that Im about to take in for some warranty work. Feels like the tranny mount is loose or bad. Hopefully not bad on a 12K mile car. I dont think the guy before me ran it hard cause he was in his late 50s and bought the car cause he remembered when the movie came out. There...

    Mods needed to beat a G35

    OK so I already beat an Infiniti G35, and I didnt think anything of it till I was on imboc.com and they were saying that their Bullitts were barely beating G35s. I do have a King Cobra clutch and that accounts for A LOT of my pull. The King Cobra grabs so hard it threw my motor mounts and...

    Dirty Injectors

    My 96 GT now has 104,000 and to my knowledge(3rd owner) the injectors have never been cleaned.I dont know how bad they are, but it wouldn't hurt to have them cleaned anyway to free up some lost HP. Dont even bother telling me to buy a bottle of that horrible 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'...

    removing the grille pony???

    How do I remove the pony in the grille? I looked at it and it appears to take a torx wrench(allen wrench in the shape of a star) but in the middle there is a pin that prevents the tool from going in. I know a lot of people with Cobras change out the running horse with a snake. I just want to...
