hey everyone!! So I just got back from deployment and tookmy new Cobra down and got a pulley swap to the smaller 2.8 with new idlers of course. Got a dyno tune which yeilded 434HP and 462 ft lbs of tq @ 14.63 lbs psi. Holy crap, I thought my cobra was fun stock, I have never had so much fun drivin a car as I do my Cobra. I love it!! I got a lightening force heat exchanger comin in on friday. My wife wont let me buy anything else for a while though,(sucks).

what she dont know wont hurt her

[whistler19]

hahaha, oh so true!!

[Blutooth]

Make sure you get an IRS Brace!!!! I'm sure you already know this, but just be careful with wheel hop.... Have fun with the new tune, the louder whine, and the throwing your ass back into the seat...

[Thumbie]

Dude that is awesome. Those x-treme amounts of power and how easy they seem to be make me wish i saved up for a termi...oh well im happy with my current ride its a step up from the 96 gt.

[whistler19]

oh man dont fret, the 01 cobra still has gobs of power. yah, I noticed the wheel hop when I went to do a burnout. I knew that wheel hop was gonna happen, just didnt know when exactly. I now have added jlt cold air intake. that made a massive difference. just got new heat exchanger in mail today. Prolly gonna install tomorrow. I've never had a car that lights up the back tires at half throttle, its freakin awesome!!

It's a lot of fun I just can't wait till I get my ported blower. Btw thank you so much for serving this country and glad you came back safe!

[whistler19]

thankyou!! I been reading quite a bit about porting the blower and am anxious to try it out as well. but gonna do the boost bypass in the how to threads first, not the one by rpmoutlet but the other one that still allows the solenoid to do its thing.

Where are you getting it ported? I am putting down 453 rwhp/483 tq w/ a pulley, cai, tune, mac exhaust and LFP front h/e, and thinking about porting the blower.

[whistler19]

theres an awesome how to on home porting on svtperformance. has all the numbers and steps and some great pics, I'm gonna do it in my garage. Got my new heat exchanger in yesterday. taking it down to the dynomometer place to reverify my tune today.

you can either do the home port , if you have the money posi or stieg do great ports and put peope over 500hp all the time

[04gtblkvert]

I am going to be getting a Stiegemeier port. My car final goes in next week to get irs brace on, 410 gears, twin gt40 pumps and upgraded fpdm. The only reason I haven't ported the blower yet is that the input shaft is rated at 450rwtq, so I am saving up to do the trans and port. If I didn't take the car to the track all the time I wouldn't worry about the trans.

Whistler19 post your numbers up if you do a dyno tune! You will love the bypass boost, no more dropping boost.

[drazga97]

if i were to ever go ported it would definitely be going to posi.

[whistler19]

just finished puttin in my new guage pod with new boost guage. also got in the boost bypass from svtp and a partridge in a pear tree. Didnt get a chance to make it to reverify my tune but I still have plenty of time before I go off of leave.

[Jobra]

As other said, DO AN IRS BRACE!!! I just did mine and I'm glad I did, stock Cobras on stock tires have been known to blow the cover, and it gets A LOT worse with modding.

[whistler19]

which one is the best to go with? From what I could tell, lethal performance has a really nice one.

I bought a billetflow irs brace. If you race make sure you put one on!
