I just got my 2003 Cobra and I was talking to a guy at work (who knows a guy at a Ford dealer). They were saying that you can have your stock chip flashed by Diablo and that will get you up close to 500 hp. Is that true?? Does anyone know where I can get the chip flashed?? I'm in central Illinois. Thanks
Well your guy at work is a little misinformed me thinks! Diablo does make a hand held tuner called the Predator. It will allow you to make adjustments and small changes to the cars ECM. It won't get you to 500 HP though! You can read about it here: http://www.runninwiththedevil.com/fordgas.htm It gave me an additional 20 HP & 20 TQ over my stock Ford tune. U.M.
You will need a few bolt on parts with a custom tune to make that kind of power. I do NOT recommend the predator if you want to do this.....get a custom tune done on a dyno.
