Default Have a new Project now.

But its a ford. Seeing that I am now addicted to boost for LIFE. I went out and bought my wife a 04 cobra with 26 k on the clock. How long will it take me to get this one to at least 650 rwhp From what Ive been reading it doesnt take much. BTW I still have my car and love LSX's. For you hardcores! Since its really my wifes (B day present) his name is Black Knight These cars are fun to drive and no traction whatsoever with regular tires on it. It allready has a tune,mgw shifter,cold air,magnaflow exhaust and a pulley. KB or a Whipple is next with a x pipe and tensioner pullies Here are some pics.

I had an 03 cobra with a Stg 3 Ported Eaton. 15lbs and 508rwhp is deadly fun on street tires. Trapped 121mph in the 1/4 easing it out of the hole and feathering first and second and rapping thrid and fourth. Those cars are awsesome. Go with the KB 2.4. You can find them on SVTperformance.com for fiarly cheap. The KB 2.2's are even cheaper.

Congrats on the new purchase.

I will pick up one of those 03-04 cobras one of these days now that the prices are a little more reasonable. First thing I would do is put an auto and solid rear in though

Thumbs up

That's awesome!!
I will admit though, I am not a fan of Ford's, but that will be a fun car to drive, especially for the wife. I can picture it now, a couple of dudes pull up next to her in a ricer car and rev the engine, she laughs to herself and blows them away!! LOL!!!
Nice car!!!

Ive know exactly what you mean on those motors. We had one let go when we added boost to it with a rich tune(AFR on the LM-1 11.2). Just couldnt handle it. But yet the guy that owned it had a smaller pulley and we told it was too much boost. Let go two days later and we got slammed for it. Ah its always the tuners fault.

LOL As much as I LOVE the way that looks my WS6 is getting a turbo and this car will be plenty to handle for my wife with a Whipple or KB. As I told KP I am out of the doghouse for a good while. I will get thrown back in the doghouse if I do that
