for 20k i wouldnt buy any 2ver. for that much you could get very close if not buying a termie.

10-11k though is a good buy as long as the cars are setup for boost. not just a stocker with a huffer.

buy drgns car. its about 6k away from being scary with boost.

a 03 will own a saleen anyways. without any mods.

[mattstang]

if i had it to do over. i would look for a cheap termie or buy a mach. i missed out on a redfire 04 termie 20k miles for 22k.

auto or 5 speeed?



Which head unit is on the Saleen? If it's an F1-A get that! Those things create MAJOR boost levels, and the engine is already forged. If it's not an F1-A then get it anyways and sell that head unit and get an F1-A.

That s/c is most likely going to be part of my next move.

5 speed 03 cobra FTMFW!!!

probably not a F1A though. plus its still a 2V, yeah it has a built bottom end, but so does the cobra, and it has 2 more valves per CYL, and 2 more cams.

which means it 2x more expenive to buy cams and head work.

JFYI The most powerful KB car to date is a 2V...

But I would go with the Cobra if I had the choice...

ohh really? got a link? is that one of MPH's builds?

yeah, it is twice as expensive to do cams, but on a 03 you will be long past the 600RWHP mark before you need to even think about headers, much less cams, or headwork. motor breathe's great, it just begs for a twin screw @19 PSI, more fuel, and a good tune.

I was talking about the saleen you Fokkers.

Yep its one of Tim's toys...

919rwhp 827TQ

On pump gas...

They also have the worlds fastest KB as well...Also a 2V...

But I have to say this car is completely restarded fast...

1089rwhp

I know that...

Its gotta be a P1SC...

^ Hey who on here was running a Procharger and was selling it? I remember someone had one, or still does... I thought it was a moderator too...

[droppedbass87]

so lets say i find an 03 cobra with pulley exhaust intake and makes about 430 horses...what else do i have to do to get it to 550 horses on the stock eaton??what kinda of money to??

[KingChronic]

numbers sound possibly inflated, unless they were running race gas and crazy timing on the 18PSI tune with 740RWHP, it isnt going to happen. then the 919RWHP with 28PSI seems even more far fetched. your not going to see any more than 15RWHP per PSI even with that very efficient 2.8H.

i think there was spray involved.
