I have a moded LT1 (heads, cam, headers, cold air, tuning, cat back,etc). My question is how can I compete with the 02-03 Cobras? My car runs like a bat out of hell but with minor mods on the Cobrascan run 440 hp according to the ford guys. Easy to do with a sc but that is how Ford gave the mustang the advantage over our current LS1/LT1`s. I haven`t dynoed my car so I don`t know what numbers it will put out. I don`t have the cash to run a turbo or sc. When it comes down to it it`s bragging rights at the track and I want to be able to defend the LT1/LS1. Just want to see what you guys think.

 

have you done the rear end gears yet ?

 

just so you know, there is no such thing as a 02 cobra. when it was in a poduction, it was slow as *****. so ford decided not to make it. that is why when the 03 and 04 came out, they had the supercharger. the 02 sucked so much it never saw a production line. i am not a mustang fan but all my friends are. thats the only reason i know.. just letting you guys know that

 

Nope, they are fast, even stock.

Then if they just throw on some pullies, they can gain like 30hp w/ the SC

 

I didn't know that either. Yeah they are quick. What was so wrong with the engine that they didn't produce the 02 model?

 

A heads cam and fully bolt on LT1 can get around 450 to the flywheel. From that point, the most cost effective things you can do are:

*raise the cubes with a stroker kit

*spray it with 100 shot

*Get a supercharger of your own

this is assuming you have heads to go with your cam and all supporting stuff then justspray itand call it a day. don't forget that once you get in that range, unlike the fords, your rear end will go bye bye.

 

first of all Zoilus...shink you sig!!! and second of all i think you mean 03/04 cobras.....with a port, pulley and all other bolts ons cobras can get 500rwhp.....without a s/c port they can hit 470-480rwhp easily....goodluck messin with them( i love terminators )

 

So let me get this straight. Your saying that a Cobra can get 500hp from pullies and bolt on's? You go from a base rating of 390hp and get another 110hp from a smaller pully and bolt on's? Amazing!!!! (BS)

 

first of all 390 is underratted, so terminators dyno around 375rwhp stock, then u got intake, pulley, exhaust, s/c port and you'll be around 500rwhp....if you dont believe me go to svtperformance and go see for yourself, do some research before posting


and i didnt mean 500hp...i meant 500RWHP.....go ahead, think what you want, we'll see people agree with you or me

 

you must not know your **** at all, 500 RWHP is no problem at all for 03/04 cobras

your pos LT1 will get destroyed
