Re: Magazine talk
 

True, but I saw it with my own two eyes, a 03 Cobra at my track 11.7@118mph :eek: He even had street legal drag radials, nobody saw his other mods but we looked at the exhaust and it looked and sounded stock.

I didn't think the stories were true. I thought the 03 Cobra would lay the smack down on the LS1. I didn't think it would get beat by the LS1, not even by the lightly moded ones. I thought it was the brand loyalist and kids thinking that their car was the pinnacle of automobile performance. That's the hot topic in the kill section on LS1.com. I'm sure some of the stories are dreamers.

I've been trying to talk the wife into getting one cause she's do for a new car. I want her to join me on the track. I want a new car to mod. I think the 03 Cobra looks bitchen. I want a chance to pilot one down the quarter!

Not diss'n '03 Coba
 

I'm not diss'n the 'o3 Cobra by any means. I just don't believe that...... (filter + pulley + X-pipe = 120 RWHP).

Check it out for yourself...October issue, 5.0&SF, pgs 187-188. It may be crap...sounds like it to me...but we had this argument in the modular section. Just quoting the magazine...

How about this:

2003 Cobra

1) pulley off of lightning
2) Cat back
3) K & N

11.63 @ 124

He's going to be running again this weekend. What a beast.

Just an fyi, but i gained 53rwhp and 86rwtq from an L pulley alone!! My chip got me 29rwhp and 40rwtq! I need to get redynoed though because my plugs where blowing out from the xtra boost! to wide of a gap:(
Also make no mistake it only takes a few mods to get a ls1 into the 12's consistantly! which is right where the 03 is stock! sounds like a good race!! get a catback, Pulley, chip! 3 best mods for the $$. you won't believe the SOP difference! lightly modded ls1 will be a thing of the past;)

well
 

For one, your car is already waaaay heavier than his plus he's modded, plus you have a sub woofer box in your trunk for MORE WEIGHT!! Makes since to me.

Re: Not diss'n '03 Coba
 

What's so hard to understand? The car is extrememly choked up from the factory....which is bad for any artificially aspirated engine. The filter is worth about 10-20 HP because now the SC can breathe. The pulley draws in a whopping extra 5lbs of boost...try strapping on a 5lb blower on a stock 5.0, you will FEEL a difference, and the Xpipe frees up alot more on the exhaust part of it. I would imgaine you could gain about 60HP just from the exhaust alone. Why do you think most turbo imports are so damn fast with minimal mods....all of their mods are similiar...free up the intake, add more boost, free up the exhaust.

525 brake HP?
 

So you think a filter, pulley, and X pipe will make 525 flywheel HP on an '03 Cobra? I doubt that very seriously.

(120/.83)+380= 524.6

Ya gotta have faith...hehe. I could very seriously see it, although it would take that for me to believe. Follow 5.0&SF...they are doing an 03 buildup.

I don't think those mods are enough for 525hp(fwhp) but add a chip and some tuning and I may be inclined to say YES!!

I forgot to add tuning and/or custom chip, preferrably from JDM...It's not that hard to understand, Supras, RX7s, and plenty of other imports were doing it for years....now it's OUR turn...mwwuuuuaaah :mad:

I would say my cobra has 525hp at the crank

2.80 pulley
UPR cold air kit
Bassani x-pipe and catback
Boost by-pass
Chip on order...

Future mod.. 100hp dry shot

;)

sick sick sick

Will that 100 shot be used as an after cooler? Im actually thinking of adding a 75 shot to my combo, just not sure if my stock motor can take it.

I will be using it to try to cool down the blower. I know a couple people have done it, and with a 100hp shot, they are get about 116-130hp from the shot.. There is alot of power to be had by cooling down that blower..

Tell me about it, my S-Trim gets super hot and they dont make an intercooler for the 94/95s :(
