Been a member here for a while with my old sixxer, but rarely posted. Today I just picked up an 01 SVT cobra for 11k, it's only got 54k on the clock. My first real sports car. It's been a real blast so far.

Mod list is as follows: (According to the ad)

Spec stg 2+ clutch
Spec Flywheel
Adjustable clutch cable
H&R Drag Springs
JLB Cold Air Intake
Walbro Fuel Pump
Offroad X pipe
Bassani Exhaust
Nitto 555 Rear tires
Underdrive pulleys
4.10 Rear gears
SCT3 Tuner


Owner said it was dyno tuned at 313/383.


Here's a few pics. I'll post better ones later when I get a chance.









I'm new to the 4v world, and v8 world in general. So I've got a few questions if anyone could help out.

First off, The owner said it was normal for tuned cobras, but it's throwing code P0602 (powertrain system control error)
It's also throwing a lean code. Not sure why.

Also the 6 disc CD player doesn't work, he said he's gone through 3 CD players since he got it. It basically is stuck and won't let you put anything in it.

Otherwise the car is really clean. I love it.

Sweet Cobra dude. Idk about the code but Ford cd players in the older cars tend to suck lol. I would just get rid of the stock ford cd player and get an aftermarket one imho you'd be better off.

Nice car, allways loved that color.

313/383 sound real generous for your mods. Take it out to a dyno day and get a baseline.

A guy I race with has a 98, he's at 265HP but Tq is only 285ish.

Yeah I was thinking so too. Just from reading around, the horsepower seems right, but the torque seems pretty high. I'm definitely hoping to take it to the dyno and see what it puts down.
