Default My Buddys TT 04 Cobra

I shot the vid for this car yesterday... made 722RWHP and 622 RWTQ. It was tuned by the BEST tuner in the country; Shawn Ellis of SoCal.

Yulp! It had a Kenne Bell on it before. I guess he wanted more power or something.

Never heard of Shawn Ellis. Whoever he is, that's an extremely bold statement
to make. Who's cars does he tune? 700hp cars don't count. I'm talking real cars.

Good looking Cobra BTW.

Bad ***.

How much more expensive is the typical Cobra TT set-up than a typical KB set up?

Depends, but figure another $5K ($10K total to go turbo).

Yeah the cost was pretty steep. I wouldn't go with a HP performance Twin setup tho...they screwed him on some things.

As for our tuner to be the best in the country... I give the guy a lot of props. He writes tunes for Chip Foose, Edlebrock, Jim Bell and just tuned 3 concept cars for some GM execs. So I imagine he has to be somewhat good right? Shawn also had the first 700hp 98 cobra in the country with a Kenne Bell s/c on it. He has other claims to fame but I mean I'm not trying to make people believe he's the best tuner. I think he is the best tuner.

Agreed. One thing I noticed from that post is that he seems quite familiar with him, so someone knows him!

No TT setup on an 03/04 is "complete" without the Sullivan intake, VERY NICE!
