Default My new KB'd toy

I got this about three weeks ago

Steeda shifter, rear end brace, and lowering springs. 17x10.5 meats out back

The dyno run was stock pulley and stock exhaust. It now has a bassani x (with cats but has interchangeable off road pipes) and catback.

Kenne Bell 2.2L supercharger @17lbs. Should be around 550-580 rwhp now. Accufab single blade TB, ram air, K&N, billet idler.This car feels like a WFC fighter punching a kitten looks.

One more

A fuckload of Lunar Series Autometers. Exhaust pyrometer, A/F mix, Fuel pressure, oil pressure, boost!!

And now the bad part


Synopsis:
Good

Bad


I'm still on 39lb injectors. So the next mod is 60lbers and a !wing.

After the LS1, changing the spark plugs was fun. No blood at all.

Man! I love those Cobras.

Your ride is sweet but I like the other tail better.

Congrats!

The orange is hot but you are gonna have to pay a little extra. I got this thing for about $3k cheaper than some of those were going for. You can get a Mystic for about the same price

That's the same one. I may remove the stock spoiler and keep the R. Or go wingless altogether

Sweet car, I just never was able to get comfortable with the shifter location. A quick question, does the car really call for 5W-20 oil? Is that specific to the 03-04 cobra's?

The MGW shifter is more adjustable. It does call for 5w20. The clutch pedal is the sore point for me. My sissy leg was use to hydraulics. Are those hp racing wheels?
