[96_SVT_Cobra]

Ive been modding it for a little over 3 years now. so here it goes, im going to try to remember all the stuff thats in it so far. still has a decent amount left to do but hopefully in a couple years it can be complete.

here is what has been done
Motor and Drivetrain
-built teskid block
--bored 20 over with all the other align honing, stock cobra crank sent out to be rebalanced and polished, manley forged rods and manley forged and coated pistons 9.2:1 compression
-5 angle valve job on b heads along with redoing all the valves, valve guides, retainers, springs, etc with high perfomance parts. then topped it off
with FR500 cams
-Vortech T-trim
-custom piping for intercooler(no longer intercooled, going to try meth instead for a few, in the process of putting it in) with blow through MAF, modified
Tial BOV, AFM power pipe
-BBK o/r x-pipe
-flowmaster catback
-walbro 255 with BAP
-60lb injectors
-BAS
-ngk spark plugs
-04 cobra radiator
-RPS clutch and Cyn-r-gy aluminum flywheel
-stock t45
-pro 50 shifter
-FRPP aluminum driveshaft
-4.10 gears

Chassis and Suspension
-eibach sportlines
-tocico shocks and struts
-steeda lower control arms
-aluminum steering shaft
-steeda STB
-sub frame connectors
-10th anniversary cobra brakes with slotted and crossdrilled rotors
-battery relocated to trunk

Interior
-alpine cd player
-MMR rear seat delete with aluminum back
-spare, jack, and wrench was removed

Exterior
-all stock cobra body panels
-Ford GT rims, 18x9 18x10
-euro clear headlights (not sure if thats what they are called)
-LED third brake light

*im sure im missing stuff, filling this out while at work*

What I am planning on doing:
-black interior swap with a few red accents and red cobra floor mats (have the parts except new seats and have to order the floor mats)
-LED cluster and HVAC (on there way, going to install while doing the swap)
-HID's 6000k headlights and fogs
-Kooks headers and x pipe, with side exhaust or dumps (havent decided)
-IMRC deletes
-T56 viper spec
-31 spline diff
-31 spline mosor axels
-black and red racing seats
-max out t-trim, maybe upgrade to YSI on 22+ psi
-new paint when everything else is done

will add more when i can remember.

Nice build, what kind of numbers is it making

 

[96_SVT_Cobra]

well dont have the meth on yet, its being installed. the only really good run i had was a nonintercooled with timing pulled way out to be as safe as possible on ~14 psi, and it cranked out 543/443 (SAE corrected with intake temps at about 190 at 7000). when the meth is done and the little grimlins are hammered out it will be pushing 16psi hopefully with the lil more boost and meth gets me 600+, but we will see what happens

all you have for fuel is a 255 and a BAP? i think you are gonna be close to maxing out the pump going for 600+`

im going to switch it out for an aeromotive a1000 fuel system after i max out the 255 and BAP.

Aaron!!! LOOKS GOOD!!! Keep me posted brotha. Lets see what that beast can do ;-)

 

[96_SVT_Cobra]

finally have proof that my head unit was the problem, just got off the dyno with someone elses t-trim and it magically went back up to ~15 psi, im so happy now we have proof for vortech that told me it couldnt be the head unit. just need to see what they are going to do now, btw the blower is only 9-10 months old.

 

[MustangChris]

whats the word from vortech?
