    HP TT or Proturbo Single T-76?

    700hp is nice but what happens to your drive train once you put that power down ? Can the stock t-56 and rear half shafts put up with this amount of hp? Or will the torque be the bigger trouble maker ? Do torque number become huge with the twin turbo set up ? I know this is more...

    Best CAI period for the Terminator?

    If you wnat to do it on the cheap a K&N would prolly get you the same hp. I chose the BBK because of the chrome it adds to the engine . I thought It cleaned up the engine bay and had a sharp look to it . From what I have read is all are around 10/15hp so I would say get what you like best ..

    Drag Radials....

    Just a quick question. Why would you want to go drag racing with such a "low" profile of tire. Less sidewall flex has allways ment less traction.(So I have been told) I did use a Nitto 555r on mine, 285/45/17 on the back and 275/45/17 on the front. They hook great and Ill let ya know my 60 foot...

    New exhaust is in order

    The Magnaflows sound sweet ! I put mine on like 3 weeks ago and havent turned the radio on since. I had flowmasters on my LT-1 T/A and liked em alot but the Magnaflow have a totally different sound. I would say the magnaflows have a little bit more rumble to em (even with the stock H-pipe)...

    If buying a used Cobra would already installed mods be appealing?

    When looking for my 03' I knew I wanted something that hadnt been molested. I was afraid if someone had upgraded the car to run 10s in the 1/4 they would put more ware and tare on the car than I wanted to deal with. Knowing what I had to start out with made all the difference in my mind.

    Ford's Warranty

    Well the good news is its all covered under warranty. The bad news is the input shaft , pilot bearing and throw out bearing are all going to need to be replaced. The car only had 10,000 miles on it and has not been driven hard at all. The only thing that comes to mind as to why this would happen...

    Ford's Warranty

    Had to break down and take the 03' to the dealer for some servicing. The clutch has been chattering for about a week now. I think its the throw out bearing and not the input shaft seeing as I can shift into and out of all gears. My question for anyone in the know is , will this be covered...

    It only lasted two week! 03 owners must read!

    I wonder what / if any mods were made to the suspension? Did you also have stock wheels and tires ? I have heard of this happining with guys jamming 20's on a car and having so much rolling mass they mess up the axle / suspension and you have bad things happen. Its really hard to belive you can...

    Squeak and chatter

    This past weekend I took the Cobra out for a drive and noticed a squeel coming from the clutch. When I hold the clutch in for any period of time it starts to chatter and squeel. I am guessing ( more like praying ) its a throw out bearing. My worst fear is it is a input shaft (but it goes in and...

    short throw shifter

    I use a pro 5.0 with blue permatex gasket sealer and get a slight rattle at lower rpms. I have seen a gasket kit offered somewhere that would prob. take care of this .(Sorry dont remember where I ran across it.) But I Wouldnt be afraid to use any Steeda product on my 03'.
