Saw tuning of an 04 GT with the mini KB at the dyno, it put down 460 RWHP and 505 RWTQ. That is strong.

How much boost? I know the normal KB adds 262 rwhp overstock. KBs rock. Ever consider one for your 03?

the 2.4 is not meant for street use, and it says so at the KB website. Im afraid to see what would happen if you actually had a cobra. All your suggestions are for making the most power possible, but then you end up with a dedicated strip car. If you had a cobra and put the 2.4 on it, it would make huge power, but not be streetable.

i.e. it is going to make more power than any streetlegal car should have. Now if you have the gumption to drive it on the street, that is your perogative, but you do it at your own risk.

also, running a bigger displacement blower like that can hurt something on your car (in every day use) whether it be the transmission or blowing the motor. from what i've read at SVTP, ford is having some trouble with people bringing their cobra's back in with blown motors and what not and their warranties are being voided because of the modifications they've done.
a lot of the mods that make your car fast may also hinder driveability...remember that

Hasn't Ford Racing Parts introduced and is promoting upgrades for the '03 & '04 Cobras which can potentially improve theirs performance by up to 50%?

Yes, 1 bulllit is right. My uncle has heard of the head tick issue, but otherwise. I drive anything anywhere anytime. I am not stupid, i would upgrade the car with ag-force built T-56 and so on.

EDIT- 99 and 01 cobras like to die. A friend had a 99 with a exhaust and lowering springs that had daily driver duty, and wasnt raced. The car had to have all new lifters installed at 50k miles.

I don't know what all parts FRPP sells for the cobra but i'm sure they won't bother to tell you or care that some of the mods will void your warranty. I doubt ford will raise a stink about say, a CAI, but if they find a 2.76 inch pulley on an aftermarket blower of all things you can kiss your warranty goodbye.

edit: sure, lifters for your rotary piston header intake turbo dual overhead cam supercharged naturally aspirated motor...right?

If you upgrade the blower, sell the warranty back to Ford

Does anyone have the press release link of what I am referring to?
It might have been SVT rather than FRP.

(oiling system) they said that the motor in those 01 older cobras is junk. I like the 96-98, but he has a buddy who did some airflow upgrades and added a procharger P-1SC, and now it knocks. He hasnt even driven it yet and it bangs. It is a 98 Cobra Coupe, black



Air Flow- i mean the throttle body and mass air etc

it probably knocks because his air fuel ratio is out of whack...meaning he's running lean

and his lifters went bad because of inferior muffler bearings, man I love being a mechanic
