Looking at a Terminator

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:24 PM

hey guys, new here. Been searching the forum for about a day or so now.

Looking at getting myself a Terminator cobra for a spring/summer weekend play car. Love the stock power and the potential for a power bump that they have.

Now my first question is how much you can make with one just upgrading the exhaust, intake, a blower, and tune.

I'm not talking the extreme that i can make (yeah thats what mostly came up when i searched for this). I'm wondering what would make for a great street car to play around with. All my buddies drive T/A's and Camaro's so gotta have the Mustang able to beat them

Also what supercharger would be a good one for this task? Would it be something in the 2.2 to 2.6 range? And how much power can the stock clutch hold?

go KB or Whipple and have a 600+ car easy

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:32 PM

i'm guessing that's flywheel?

and that can be done without upgrading things like injectors?

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 09:35 PM

no at the wheel.... best thing to do fuel system wise would be a set of gt pumps, lethal fuel line upgrade kit, BAP and some 60lbs with a MAF to match. Once you get over 450ish you'll need some fuel system upgrades.

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:38 PM

but 450ish at the wheels is good with just intake, tune, blower, and exhaust?

would a KB 2.6 be a good choice? or would i be better off going with a smaller sized one

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 09:40 PM

I am making 450 with exhaust, pulley, cai and tune

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:42 PM

what do you run at the track with that setup?

also how noticeable is the whine on your car?

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 09:46 PM

mine has been a best of 11.14@125 that was with a 1.6 60 foot and running out of gear 100 feet before the traps. since then I have finished the suspension, added long tubes, added a 2 step, plumbed in a 3 gallon ice tank and stepped up to 28" tires. We'll see what it does when the tracks open back up.

The blower is pretty loud.

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:47 PM

you have any videos of your car?

the black one is mine (the loud one) the mystic has a whipple on it

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 09:53 PM

not bad. Someday i'd like to get to that 600+ whp level haha

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 10:00 PM

that mystic car made 620ish then. i was at 451.

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 10:03 PM

yeah i read that. what kind of fuel upgrades is a person looking at to get that high?

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 10:04 PM

like i listed earlier

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 10:09 PM

oh ok wasn't sure if those would cover as high as 600.

would a KB 2.6 be a good choice for that high?

and what are these KB 2.2's i keep reading about? I can't find them listed on the KB website, were they discontinued?

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 10:11 PM

My car at the time of the video has a completely stock fuel system. I have been slowly working on it so that I can throw a healthy shot of gas at it.
yeah they don't make them anymore

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 10:14 PM

what is the equivalent of it? only thing i see listed for the Cobra is a 2.6 and a 2.8

C MY 4D · January 24th, 2010, 10:16 PM

the 2.6 is what you would want to shoot for. you may want to look around for a used kit.

nick112207 · January 24th, 2010, 10:18 PM

is the 2.6 better than the old 2.2? What does Whipple offer that'd be good?
