Killed another Cobra and an LS1 SS

Cobrayankee, I had my car dyno'd awhile back when it was fairly low on miles, it's in my sig. I don't think I make as much power now that the car is older but probably pretty close with the cats gutted now.

-I know one thing for sure with our cars though, they hate to run warm or hot. If they do, they lose a good deal of power. My key is to keep the temps always right around the O in Normal or below with my fan contoller. I can pinpoint the exact temps the low and high speed fans turn on. I can't tell you how important this was to my car. This could make the difference between a win and a loss right there.

-Another thing I can tell you is that I tried that BBK H pipe and got rid of it about two weeks after it was bought. I lost power with that thing and I'm not completely sure why. I just know the X pipe was much better for my car.

- Spark plug gap- I run a gap of 0.060 on my car and have since new. Give it a try!

-Do you have gears or are you stock still? This could make a big difference too.

Whatever the case, get a dyno run done for a base. Also, if you can, try a different computer if you can get one. I have heard of a few of the Cobra computers failing for unknown reasons and they won't show codes.

How do your races usually go with other Cobras anyway?
