Sounds like you haven't got a clue as to how anything works.
he is not maxing out his mods with no tune.

explain why buddy did headers back and lost 2psi on his car. DId pulley and gained that back plus a lb or two.

You're so sure of yourself.
Hurting the boost, LOL

You should probably google how PD blowers work.
It's obvious you'll never grasp the idea on your own.

They do boost drop with the long tube! But I think its from becoming more efficent. And may make more power even tho less psi of boost. So hes not dumb! Its back and forth debate on this matter to this day

It will gain every single time. If everyone had a fundamental understanding on how PD blowers work this "discussion" (more like lesson) would never happen.

Same pulley size, for all intent and purpose means same amount of air.
Less boost means less heat, less parasitic drag, and MORE POWER.

If you want to get a little more technical... the lower boost with the same size pulley will raise the blower's volumetric efficiency and it will in turn flow a few more CFM as well.

Either way he isn't making to most out of his mods with out a tune. Or with out switching to a smaller pulley.

I under stand how they PD SC work. He will drop boost and gain a little power. BUt a tune will help make more power even with same pulley. Now add a smaller pulley and better tune again he will make more power.

if he did loss some HP with the full exhaust, he gained it right back with the lighter flywheel and clutch. i can testify for that because iv rode in the car 100's of times and after the clutch kit change, the hp/tq was a big increase. he throwing the idea around of putting a turbo on with it and have a blower and turbo. but idk if that will actualy happen due to it being waaay more expensive and potential to ruin a perfectly good 03 termi.

Cobra's don't gain enough from headers to warrant having them installed.


They pick up way more from the cat-back.

03/04 Cobras come with an aluminum flywheel from the factory. It was in your head.

How can people NOT know this? I don't know how half the people here figure out how to start their car, let alone mod it.

[QUOTE=Mach Boy;15489739]03/04 Cobras come with an aluminum flywheel from the factory. It was in your head.[/QUOTE

engine spins up WAAAY faster, and for some reason (and i know this will be argued) the car gained 10 mph in 3rd gear, it used to go 105 and now it reaches 115ish. its not in my head, i switched flywheels in my T/A (do all my own work) and going from stock FW an clutch kit to LW FW an clutch kit was a major change in drivability. same thing with his cobra, spins up much faster and revs down much faster. im not an idiot, i know the deference in centrifugal weights
