Thanks guys! It's at the shop getting aligned right now. I think I'm ready for some power next...

01BlackGT · December 2nd, 2009, 06:23 PM

can i make seks to your car?

But seriously it looks amazing that body style has really grown on me lately, and you have a beautiful specimen there my friend!

I need to get my springs installed one of these days, but on the bright side it's stroked and forged now

with a new clutch
I will post pics and all the info when I pick her up from my parents place.

Does VA require a front plate?

Muscletang · December 2nd, 2009, 09:21 PM

Thanks man. Yeah, you have to have the front plate here. That's awesome you got all your motor work done. That's going to be sweet.

Are you going to do the spring install yourself? You should if you have space, an impact, a good floor jack, and jack stands. It's extensive, but pretty straight forward to do.

what do you have planned as far as performance goes?

hmm....

Not really sure yet... I saw that, but I'd rather have the motor look more stock if you know what I mean. I need to read a lot more to decide whether I want to go with a n/a build, s/c build, or just a s/c.

01BlackGT · December 3rd, 2009, 05:54 PM

^
That manifold is SBA!

I think a turbo system is just what you need muscletang! Pricey but so much win with turbos. Yeah my pops and I will do the springs whenever we get around to it. We just got our first snow so it looks like I won't even get to get the break in period out of the way this year, so I have to wait till spring, on the bright side I can do some interior things I've been meaning to get to. I cannot wait to throw boost at this thing! I am not sure what type of setup I can afford yet, I want twin turbos (either Hellion or HP) but I don't know, I might have to settle for a procharger or something for now? I think you should definitely go with a FI setup, get bumper mounted twins and the only way people will know is when they hear you scream by and your BOV makes them sprinkle their boxers

The guys who did my build also did a video of the process I will try and upload it to my computer and post it when I get a copy of it. I have only started it and let it warm up, and man does it sound nasty! They estimate that it picked up about 45/45 hp/tq but it probably won't get dyno'ed till later, so no #'s yet?

i'm torn between the exact same builds.. right now i'm leaning toward just a novi 2000 and maybe doing cams and intake after that when i get bored.. then heads after that.. i'll do the internals at some point too.. hell, i might even do it all at the same time

i calld modular powerhouse a few times ready to buy it all, but they closed shop. one of the owners, jeff harris, is opening a new shop on december 14th so i'll probably take my car there when it opens

Nothing beats having a 15 year old car that you would feel comfortable serving food on top of it.

Great Cobra and congratulations on the install. Saved some money - it is definitely a huge pain to do though.

PapaSmurf · December 5th, 2009, 10:29 AM

looks really good man. i too am rocking the supersports, but my rear doesnt sit as low as yours, kinda annoys me actually

mystk96 · December 5th, 2009, 11:34 AM

CAR LOOKS AMAZING!!!

the saleens look excellent on sn95s especially cobras

personally i think they look better on the sn95s vs new edges

btw i got i need your state city zip code street house number (or apartment) and to make it easier on me since i may be traveling so far the keys in the ignition with it unlocked.

its... a... sexy.... car...

Muscletang · December 5th, 2009, 03:48 PM

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

Man, that's odd. It's kind of hard for them not to seat properly, but did you check that?
