Just Bought My First Cobra. Question On A Tune...

x.Ln · September 23rd, 2006, 08:55 AM

Just bought my first Cobra, it's a 2004 Mystichrome with 9k on the clock. The previous owner added a Borla exhaust and Steeda intake. With only those mods, is it worth it to get a tune?

How much rwhp/tq would I pick up (even if it's not worth the money)?

I'm not looking to change pullies for a little while, that's why I ask if it's worth it with just those 2 mods.

Thanks!

I would say get a pulley and then do a tune...You will see 450/450 from what I have seen myself first hand...

Since your car is already tuned for 91+ octane, there wouldn't be a whole lot more left, maybe 10hp is my guess. Definately don't wait around on the pulley + tune, it's the best mod you can do.

my buddy's got a mystichrome just like that...some of you might remember my posts bout him racing a ferrari...wich hasnt even happend yet by the way...anyway...he's got an exauht a pully and a tune and he's pulling down 525rwhp dyno'd. the power added is significant with the pulley and the tune...way more so than if you were to do it on say a 99-02 cobra or a n/a gt.(obviously you wouldnt add a pulley to a n/a engine...i was talking bout the tune)
