Guest Nurv Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 that car was Lidio's 93 mustang coupe. It was the first car with a '03 cobra motor in it since the cobras havent even reached the showrooms at the time. It was "basically" stock. K&N cone filter, Downs fuel rails, stock headers, hi flow h-pipe, turbo style mufflers (unsure of the brand), 3.73 rear gears. But the boost was just at 7lbs. The car had a proper suspension so it got those awsome times. The fox chassis coupes were the lightest of the group...Ive driven a a '01 vette and a '03 cobra hardtop as well. Both handle very well but go drive a Kenny Brown equiped '03 like my friends. I woulndt drive a vette after that. Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords did a article on the '03s when they came out. 10lb pulley, long tube headers, hi flow h-pipe, mac flowpath headers, and a diablo sport chip it it dyno'd 429 rwhp, 449lbs of torque. not bad.

stony Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I cant remember the exact mods but they were all bolton for less then 1800.00 and my buddy here in alaska got 474RWHP and is running 11.1xx at 126 MPH!!!! on BFG DR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 We are going to have ours dyno'ed sometime in Nov. We have a Densecharger intake, headers, and hopefully a retuned chip with Diablo Sports Predator. I'll let you know what numbers we pull up.

Moridin Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I don't know if you guys saw this already, but I posted the dyno run. Mods included poorly tuned Predator chip (see a/f), Densecharger intake, and JBA shorty headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc280zx Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Years ago Ford promised an NA engine though' date=' and they didn't deliver. Any monkey can slap a blower on a car and make power, dissapointing. Is the video clip dead, or just for awhile?[/quote'] When you go high power normally aspirated, you loose driveability, clearly you know this. An LS1 is an amazing NA motor, however its 10.2:1 compression!! 93 only! bah, forced induction allows cars to maintain streetability, lower compression, and all the good stuff and still make massive amounts of horsepower. If you still think NA is better, you show me any NA motor on the planet that can gain 250hp from a 80 dollar pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Not to burst your bubble, but there is absolutely no way that you will gain 250HP from a pulley. I hope you're talking about going from an NA Cobra motor to a fully setup blown Cobra motor with a pulley. It depends on the boost level and what else has been done to the car, but a pulley on the Eaton blower can give you 20 to 50HP maybe. It all depends though. If you want 250HP, then you'll need a Kenne Bell Blowzilla supercharger running at 21PSI (which it can do on pump gas ). We are having a custom tune done on the 13th of Feb., so we can see how much power we can get out of the motor with just bolt ons. No pulley or anything. (Since the dyno we have added a Magnaflow exhaust). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 i drove a stock 2003 cobra at work yesterday.used car manger bought it used at auction .had 17k miles on it.nice car .but these things are heavy.it wouldnt take as much horsepower the run with it in a z.if you play to much with it you void the warrenty.i will stick with my z.

Moridin Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 We made 394 without the exhaust that we put on. No voided warranty here. The best part about the Cobra is how easy it is to make power. Hopefully, we'll have the dyno charts for around 500HP. That's with all bolt-ons with the exception of a ported Eaton blower (its the same blower as stock, except its ported) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Anyone have a copy of the video? Looks like the link is permanantly down. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
