    first trip to the track

    I agree with you on having issues with street tires and 4.10. I have to baby it off the line or spin city!!! BTW Missouri_guy197, how did you get a 12.8 ET with only 300 RWH? I would think for that,you would be closer to 13.2 with your 60' times. A 400 HP '03 would be lucky to pull...

    Heavy pedal using aftermarket clutch cable?

    I recently replaced my stock clutch cable and quadrant with a UPR tripled quadrant, cable adjuster, and new HD clutch cable. Two questions: - 1- the stock cable has a rounded ball on the end that rides in the clutch fork indent and allows it to "ride" through the angle. The aftermarket...

    are nitto tires okay?

    Yep agree - Nitto 555 Extreme's kick butt over my old Kumo's. Taking them to the track (yes, these are streets and not DR's) and my 60' times dropped. Cornering is aaaaaaawesome!

    01 wheel hop

    I bought the stock '03 cross brace from Downs Ford and Steeda diff bushings. What kind of problems did you have installing the brace bt15? Looks like I have to remove a couple BIG A$$ bolts to mount the brace. How did you do it? It looks like the bushings mount in using the brace after that.

    So I finally stepped up to the plate......

    Yep, what 99SVTAddict said. The number he gave you will also be able to hook you up with a replacement SVT owners cert showing you build number. The big difference between the cobra and GT has to do with 4V engines desire to rev so gears are a must! The intake and exhaust mods are again to...

    Drilled/Cross Drilled Rotors...

    Kind of a stupid question but does anyone know if the slots should angle TOWARDs the direction of rotation, way from the direction, or doesnt matter? I have drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk pads and noticed that I put them all on (totally without thinking) where the slots are opposite the...

    weird thump from t-loc backend

    I bought my 01 Cobra used (buyer beware I know). The previous owner did a lot of mods to it including changing the gears to 4:10. I get a "bind" out of the rear end if I am doing anything other than starting out in a straight line. Also get a weird "thump thump thump" when I decelerate from...

    grinding into 3rd when shifting 01 cobra

    The T-3650 tranny in the Cobra's, GT's, and Mach-1's are known for bad synchros and bent shift forks. Check out the 4.6 section on this board and look at the sticky at the top. It is bad enough, that the members are trying to force Ford into making a recall to fix the tranny's

    how do you clean a cobra seat?

    Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have an '01 Cobra with the suede type seat inserts that are pretty dirty from use (my interior is the Parchment so it shows the dirt). Has anyone found a good way, or product, to clean those seats? Can I use Scotch-guard once I do clean them...

    03 Mustang/Cobra grill emblem

    It is called a "security Torx" bit. I think it is a T-15 size but not sure on that one. Most auto supply places will carry something like that. Got mine at Checker Auto but I had to buy a kit of bits with like T-2 to T-25 sizes. Paid like $8 but now I got em all (I guess I can now remove the...

    99-03 swap

    I give up, why would you WANT to bolt up a 99 tranny to an '03 engine? The T-3650 isnt rated to handle the SC engines HP and will blow. Plus the fact that the T-56 is a 6 speed and worth every penny. You would be asking for trouble swapping out the engine without the transmission (and the...

    Bone Stock 01 Cobra Dyno Results!

    Nice stock numbers. You are slightly above the rated 320HP (320-15% for driveline loss = ~272 RWHP) For comparison, ran mine on the Dynojet here at 5800 ft and pulled 305RWHP and 318 torque (mods in the sig). My AF was running rich so there are a few more ponies to be found once I lean that...

    stock shocks and struts on 01 cobra?

    Probably a 1st attempt at solving the infamous "wheel hop" problem. Front shocks dont help much if at all so he/she may have put different dampening shocks in the rear.

    Which subframe connectors for 01 Cobra??

    Running full length welded in KB subframes on my vert. :nice:

    4.10+ gear hop

    Yeah, I'd be interested to know more about that too. Wheel hop is horrible on the '01 cobras and when you add 4.10 like we have, it only makes it that much worse. I am putting 305 to the RW and it sure would be nice to get more of that to the ground.

    Gas Mileage anybody?

    Hmmm, I have been clocking 18-19 around town (even with 4.10) but that is when I am just driving it lightly. In those cases, I pretty much just use 2nd, 3rd, 5th. My best on "mostly" highway was 25.2 MPG. I am running rich according to my A/F on the dyno so I expect my mileage to go up a...

    My 2001 Dyno today

    Your stock dyno numbers look about right to me also. I had my '01 dyno'ed on a Dynojet a few weeks ago and pulled 305 RWHP and 300 Ft/LBS torque. Running kind of rich at this altitude so after that is corrected, I should gain a few more horses. My mods are in the sig.
