Engine questions, advice please :D

Is there a kit I can get that has all that and a cam?

 

[Rice_slayer]

I figured as much.. I hav collected the parts but not sure if I'll have money for a tune..

then dont even bother. sorry dude but the cold hard truth is you're going to need a tune to be right. otherwise you are going to have drivability issues. are there cars running trickflow stage 1, steeda 19, or ecams without tunes? yes. are they right? do they run as good as they should? no. if you're looking at doing this just get the full cobra top end and run the cobra computer. otherwise get a tune. we'll be reading threads on why doesnt my car idle? or why did I go so slow at the track? if you dont tune.

That's false. I'm running a TFS stage 1 and have no driveability issues, I DD the car to school and work everyday. Only issues I have is TERRIBLE gas mileage(before swap was 18mpg, after is down to 13mpg pure city) and when cold, car idles a bit wonky for a few seconds, but driveability wise, it drives great and this is my first cam'd car...

like i said, are there cars that run w/ out a tune? yes, and you are proof positive of that. but to be absolutly right it needs a tune, end of story.

 

[MustangMoser]

oh i am. just got done talkin with him. gotta finish getting my parts and i will deff get him to do it.

im not sure what like rockers and rollers ill need? or will i?

awesome. doin it right! i've tried to half-a$$ things before and it never turns out right. just trying to save you some of the heartache i've caused myself.

as far as rockers you can run the cobra replacement, or original cobras if u can find them.

 

[Rice_slayer]

I know that, sadly I have other things to worry about before I get it tuned, I want a tune badly as I hear they do wonders for the trickflow kit that I have but is not having a tune going to blow the car up? Well, mine hasn't yet lol.

 

[TheNatster513]

Lol yet.. Lol u could use the same guy I am. He said 180 shipped.

The 94-95 cobras or 96-98? Or both? I hav no clue

 

[Rice_slayer]

I'd rather get a dyno tune that is 100% made for my set-up. I'm getting my done by a good shop that has tuned many BBF and SBF's that run into the 9s 8s and even 7s . He is using an SCT to tune mine apparently.

 

[TheNatster513]

Well that works too..

i thought sct tuners only worked on obd2? guess not if thats what they're gonna use. as for blowing up it depends on if you're running lean or rich. normally rich doesnt blow up, but both can harm your engine.

 

[TheNatster513]

where can i find the cobras? and the 94-95s? or 96-98? or both?

 

[MustangMoser]

i assume u mean rockers? 95 and under. i'm not sure if 93 cobras were rr though, or just search online.

 

[TheNatster513]

...what would the search term be for? lol i really have no idea what im doing..

is there a package i can get that has the right rockers and cam?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

Crane cams 1.7 roller rockers is what came stock on the 93-95 cobras. :thumbsup:

Yes sir, they were the same Crane Energizer rollers that came on the SN95 Cobras.

 

[TheNatster513]

So does any one know where I can like find a cam kit that includes the rockers?

Why do you need rockers that would come with a cam?

Buy a cam, then buy a set of rockers.

 

[TheNatster513]

Just so I can get the matching ones? Maybe?

 

[Slykin]

If i'm correct those rocker rollers will fit with a lot of cams, so you can buy them separately and you won't have to worry about compatibility issues.

 

[TheNatster513]

So they are just called 1.7 rockers for 5.0?

 

[rz5.0]

you can get 1.6 or 1.7 roller rockers. depends on cam &heads or you could have p/v clearance.
