Questions about new car!
Here is the background:
I just purchased a heavily modded '93 Cobra. I intended to have it as a weekend driver/show car/friday night racer at the local dragstrip. However, it's a bit more than I bargained for so far. Here is the list of mods on the car. DSS 331 c.i. long block w/ forged internals Vortec blower AFR heads Radical Cam Ported upper and lower intake 70mm TB MSD ignition and coil 60 lb/hr injectors Dual fuel pumps BBK long tubes w/ BBK H-pipe w/ hi-flow cats MAC 2 1/2" cat-back 4.10 gears HD clutch (crazy hard to push in) Dyno's @ 545 hp Here's my issues so far, while driving it home after picking it up, (about an hour or so into the drive) I am coming to a light in 4th gear, instead of down shifting, I throw it in neutral and coast to the light, as I get to the light, the car seems to surge a bit from about 1.5k RPM to 3k RPM and then stalls on me. Question: Is this due to the duel fuel pumps, injectors, or cam? Question: Do I simply need a re-tune on a dyno? Another issue, the cars runs extremely hot, Autometer temp gauge runs consitently at 200 to 205 while doing 40 mph, but, if I'm in stop & go traffic it creeps up to 225 to 230 degrees. Question: Do I need a new thermostat, better fans, and/or radiator? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
