Gotta love that torque curve, even though it's more of a plateau.

Nice numbers.

Wasn't trying to start anything ... I love all performance cars ... I was posting for informational purposes

I love this car just as much as I loved my SS ... I consider both strong cars .... (and yes, if I could afford it, I'd be in a vette !! )

Now all u have to do is get a KB for $3500. Run the 20psi set up on pump gas, through the stock manifolds, cats and exhaust and expect to see 617 RWHP! I have always been a stang lover i've had an 8 second race car to a 9 second street car. I'm with u bro-i don't care about the brand just the performance. I've thought about selling the Vette for a Stang many times, Ford finally hit it right with the Cobra. Now go get the KB, get a solid axle and u can run 10's@130 all day. Everybody has to admit dollar for dollar the performance of the Cobra cannot be beat! The only thing that holds the Cobra down is the weight factor-it weighs almost 700lbs more than my Z06! I'm waiting for the Cobra's to drop in price so I can pick one up as a dedicated drag toy!

My old 03 dyno'd 400rwhp also but it was a dog compared to my full bolt on WS6.

Good numbers though, nice dyno.

I did not say that to be a dick. I was just joking with you. Do you notice though that those mustangs produce huge numbers but the times are just not there? I saw a dark silver GT convertible at the track yesterday. Man that thing was awesome looking with a black top!

There are a few SS camaros that are running 350-380rwhp and only go 12.30- 12.40? I cant figure it out?

Those are some impressive #'s! But am I missing something? 400 rwhp with just a K&N Filter Pack? Did they change anything from the 03 Cobras? I thought they were rated at 390 fwhp. Here in Vegas they don't run that strong stock. Low 13's at the track, from what I have seen. Anyways, congratulations!

It is rated 390 from the factory at the engine. I think Ford underated it a bit. There also have been fluctuations in the stock HP - anywhere from 35xrwhp - 38xrwhp ... I didn't dyno completely stock, so it is possible I had a fairly strong one to begin with ....

Anyway .. I am happy with the results and was really would have been happy with 380rwhp

It should be noted that after heat soak, I made about 390rwhp (on the third run w/ the hood down - .. testing the FIPK w/ the hood closed). I am still very happy with even those results ...

It goes to show what a beater heat extractor should do for me ...

A buddy of mine had a fluidyne intercooler that worked well. As far as bang for the buck, that is relative. They sticker for $34-36 grand, Z28's could be had for 21-24k. I really do like the Mach One, which I think is the best Stang ever built. I like the idea of a Mach 1 with a blower or turbo, about the same $ as a new Cobra. It just needs a 6 speed. It just sucks there isn't a centrifugal style blower that fits f bodys. You'll really be blown away by a throttle body, pulley, and exhaust.

UM, not bashing, but that # sounds a little high for only 2 or 3 lbs. of boost with just those bolt ons. My brother-in-law has an 03 with fipk and exhaust and laid down about 390. Now he only has about 1500 miles, so obviously crowleys Cobra is a bit stronger. But I still dont see 2 or 3 lbs. of boost with an appropriate tune making that much more power. Do you know what issue of MM&FF that was. I still have a subscription and I would like to look it up.
I try to keep up the stangs as much as I can to keep family relations good.
(brother-in-law) thanks

I agree. I know a local guy that was making 465rwhp with catback, 2.7# pulley (I believe it gives more boost then lightning pulley), CAI and tuning and he made 465rwhp. He then had his blower ported and with stock ex. manifolds he layed down 504rwhp!! In comparison though, he was making 465rwhp compared to the magazie vehicle that ran less boost and made 490rwhp???
