    Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-ax

    I just bought the Pro 5.0 for my 98 cobra. I love it. If you look at the Steeda it has a metal ball on the bottom of the shifter. The Pro 5.0 has like a polyeurathane type ball. So when the lube runs out you wont be metal to metal. Just my 02.

    Muffler Delete Opinions

    I've come back for some words of wisdom. I unbolted my exhaust and love the sound. I have an appointment this week to have my exhaust done. I was going to go with Dynomax Bullet mufflers. But it's basically a straight through design. It will be alot cheaper if I just delete the mufflers...

    Rough Idle Help

    It shakes in neutral pretty bad just idling, If you jump on it it and accelerate it smooths out between 3,000 and 4000 rpm. Any higher and it starts to shake real bad almost like a dropped cylinder.

    Rough Idle Help

    My buddy's 95 5.0 is running really rough. We did a compression test 140 on all 8 cylinders. Changed wires, plugs show engine is running real lean, no check engine light. At high rpms it shakes real bad. Any ideas. We were thinking injectors maybe.

    Will this make the 13's

    I ran 14.5 @ 98 mph. I also had a 2.4 60ft time which really sucks. Ive only had two passes since I bought the car a few weeks ago. Heres a question. I tach out in third gear about 200 ft before the finish line. Do these cars make power all the way to the redline or should I be shifting sooner...

    Thanks for the help. Im going with the sportlines if I dont get the camber kit I should be alright I'm assuming. Do any of you have excessive tire wear except for the obvious bald rear tires.

    Need help with lowering
