    K&N drop in filter, or Densecharger CAI?

    I really like my Steeda CAI and carbon fiber inlet pipe. Although it was expensive, there was a noticable SOTP gain.

    LONG TUBES

    I posted the before/after dyno graphs in July or August. You should be able to find them doing a search on Hooker headers. I probably got 15 rwhp from the LT headers and another 8 rwhp from the o/r x-pipe. This was by far my best mod to date.

    LONG TUBES

    I've had Hooker LT headers on my GT for 20,000 miles. They are high quality headers. To help keep it cooler in the engine compartment, I bought the ceramic coated version. With the Hooker LT headers and o/r x-pipe, I gained 23 rwhp.

    Advice on Cams and P & P Heads

    Thanks for the link. I'm thinking that 24 lb. injectors will be sufficient. I'm not sure how much more I can grow short of a power adder. Also, I haven't heard from anyone about the fuel pump. I'm assuming that the stock pump will support 300-320 rwhp. Is this right?

    New Steeda Carbon Fiber CAI

    $500 will buy you the cams. You still need the tools for installation. You also better have some time and knowledge. If you don't have tools, time, and knowledge, then you will be paying someone else for installation. Add another $500. Also, if you plan to install cams, you might as well...

    New Steeda Carbon Fiber CAI

    The difference was noticable by the SOTP. I plan to have the car dyno tuned again since I've added not only the Steeda CAI and inlet pipe but Magnaflow catbacks. (I might be running a little lean). Supposedly none of these mods improve power by much. I think that the dyno will show...

    New Steeda Carbon Fiber CAI

    Install took about 30 minutes. There was no drilling. It was a tight fit though. The Steeda air filter is reusable. I'm not sure how it compares to the K&N FIPK2. I only know that I gained some power, probably comparable to the power I gained from the Accufab 75 mm tb & plenum.

    Advice on Cams and P & P Heads

    Before the Magnaflow catbacks and Steeda CAI, I dynoed at 249 rwhp. With these mods, I'm probably around 260-265 rwhp. I'm hoping that the cams and heads put me over 300 rwhp.

    Advice on Cams and P & P Heads

    I've pretty much exhausted the performance bolt-on mods. I would like to stay n/a so my next mod will probably be custom cams and polished & ported heads. What else will I need with these mods? Is the stock fuel system sufficient, i.e., fuel injectors and fuel pump? Do I need to replace the...

    New Steeda Carbon Fiber CAI

    I just installed the Steeda carbon fiber CAI, which includes their GT high-flow air kit and their new carbon fiber inlet pipe. This intake system replaces my C & L TrueFlow inlet pipe, K & N filter, stock air box, and shortened air silencer. There was a noticable improvement in acceleration...

    How much for an 04 Cobra?

    A local Ford dealer offered me a brand new 2004 Cobra coupe for $28,642. This included rebates ($3500) and factory employee discount ($3,923). That's about a $7500 savings off the MSRP of $36,065. If I could get a reasonable price for my 2001 GT convertible, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

    Estimate my RWHP with these mods...

    This estimate seems too low. I read that the 03-04 Cobra is underrated. The actual rwhp is around 370 (or 435 bhp). Since the Cobra responds well to exhaust mods, he probably gained 25-30 rwhp with the mid-pipe and catbacks. His intake mod probably added another 10 rwhp. The Predator, if...

    Long tube header????

    There are three companies that make LT headers that will work with the automatic: MAC, Kooks, and Hooker. I bought the Hooker headers with the o/r x-pipe and they work great. I gained 23 rwhp with these mods.

    What did you give for you '03-'04 cobra?

    I've recently been pricing new 2003-2004 Cobras. The best price on a 2003 convertible is $31,900 while the best price on a 2004 convertible is $33,600. The best price on a 2004 coupe is $30,100. If you go to the SVT thread on ford.com, you can do a search for dealers who still have Cobras to...

    Which part makes the exhaust so loud ?

    Another option is to install Bassani baffles in the tail pipes. With my LT headers and o/r x-pipe, my Magnaflow catbacks were off the chart. The Bassani baffles reduced the sound by at least 25%, especially the high ear piercing notes. You can order the baffles directly from Bassani. Just...

    '04 leftover cobras-price?

    26k for a brand new 04 Cobra vert? That seems impossible. They list for 40k.

    '04 leftover cobras-price?

    I was just quoted $30,000 on a 2004 Cobra coupe by a local Ford dealer in Minneapolis. The list price is $35,000. But Ford is currently offering two rebates: $2500 and $500. Then the Ford dealer threw in a $2000 discount because the 2005s are coming in. I was hoping they would come down a...

    Went to the Dyno today

    250 rwhp is pretty good for these mods. Your stock horsepower was probably around 218 rwhp. That means you added 32 rwhp with: Bassani O/R X Pipe, Magnaflow Magnapacks, Accufab 75mm Throttle Body, C&L Intake Plenum, and K & N Filter. Not too shabby.

    Break-in for Re-built Motor?

    Just got my Mustang back with a rebuilt Ford motor. Is there a break-in period? What should I watch for? Should I use synthetic oil right away or should I wait?
