My buddy with the 03 Cobra, lococobra, just bought him a Whipple twin-screw for his!!! He had bought nitrous for it. Decided just now, he is returning that! His car is already f'ing sweet & fast! This just makes him cooler!

He thinks the spray is too volatile. I have no idea if that is the right word. It just came to me! It's unreliable! He hears too many stories of it ruining your entire car, by catching fire. He bought the 2.8 one he told me!

Re: Just found out!!! Whipple for '03 Cobra!

He got some bad news today for his car! Yesterday he got out and it started missing & making a ticking sound. Got home and looked @ his plugs. 2 was closed all the way! He regapped the plugs and it ran fine. He got in it today, same thing happened! Oh yeah, he bought 2 new plugs this morning. It did the same thing. He posts on that svtp site, I think it's called. Guys on there he probably has something wrong with his back 2 cylinders! He is going to baby it around til he gets it rebuilt/fixed. He is going to hold off on the Whipple 'til he gets this fixed!

Does this sound right to y'all? I don't even have a clue to the prob. I just reworded what he typed to me. He kinda used some not nice words in it.

Re: Probs now w/the '03 Cobra!

He had the problem checked! He had a scope of a thing ran down it.

I copied what he typed to me:
The good news is that he found nothing wrong. They said everything was real clean. He said there was a litle carbon build up and he thinks that's what knock my plug in. He also did a compression test and all cylinders where at 180. That what is when they come new. The Whipple should be here today.

This was on Monday! He should have his Whipple by now. He says it is running fine now though!

I just went up to see him. He does have his Whipple. He still needs to upgrade his injectors, that's $400 he said. After that, he is not sure when it will go on.

Re: Probs now w/the '03 Cobra!

Lightning Struck, you posted this 1 day ago. Something just hit me though! He had a Lightning right before he bought this car. He had about every performance upgrade on it. He says even then, it did not stand a chance up to his Cobra! After seeing what you typed, that means that they have already ravaged you! Am I right on this?

I'm guessing your trucks were about even on their mods. YO!!

What?? with full mods his L wasnt as strong as the cobra??? Hmmm somthing sounds off with that. A full bolt on L will run about mid 12s and break into the 400/500 club if you have a ported eaton like mine Low 12s and even possible high 11's with 450rwhp or even more depending on your tune. Either hes overblowing the performance of the Cobra / his L was just slow ( hehe ) / or the Cobra already has some stuff done to it.

And no, havent had the honor of getting skint by da V-Tech...........when I do get tired of the L, the Terminator will be what its replaced with :headbang:

Re: Probs now w/the '03 Cobra!

I don't really know, that's just what I thought he once told me. Yeah, I can barely remember the HP of the car he has now. Remembering what his L made, I couldn't even guess! I have ridden in both of his cars. His Cobra seems a lot faster.

well remember the L weighs OVER 1,000 pounds MORE than the slobra does. Im sure that plays into how " fast " each feels when compared. Either way once that Whipp is put on its on like donkey kong
