Casper5.0 · 05-08-2001, 01:39 AM

alright, here's my game plan for the summer.

Bassani long tube headers w/ offroad x pipe
3.73 gears
upper and lower control arms
cold air induction
EEC tuner
e303 cam

you guys think this will get me into the 12's if i tune it on a dyno?? just wantin' to know what to expect, don't know how cobras react to these mods, thanks in advance.

Looks like an excellent list you have there for your car. Traction will be the key to tweleves. On drag radials you will probably need 104mph to get there. I think you could easily pick up 5mph with the mods your talking about. I would get a new computer as the cobra computers pull timing and arent very agressive. Also with the dyno tuned make sure you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so they can adjust your fuel pressure if you are lean or rich, and I see 12's no problemo!

Good luck...

Thanks for the reply. The tuner actually allows the adjusting of the timing curve (which is a big reason for getting it), so the computer swap doesn't seem necessary.

12's seems like it might be a bit of a stretch. Pretty close though. I think mid 13's around 103 is more like it.

I ran my best time of 13.61 @ 104.7 with my current combo below. I know on a cool night I could have run a 13.3 @ 106. Now I've done a bit of tweaking with the MAF, and am getting an adjustable FPR (bump up FP and more timing), subframe connectors (better 60 fts I hope), B&M ripper (shave a 1/10 from the 2-3 shift), and some new taylor spiro pro wires. I'm planning on going back to the track friday night and a 12.99 if it's cool outside. I think that would be pretty good with radials and 308s.
