Rediculous!!!

Some of you may know that I picked up a 94 Cobra back in August, last year. Well, I got it, learned to drive stick in it, and was sharing it with my brother who didnt have a car. Then I started modding the GT, so the cobra is now all his. It's got pulleys, an h-pipe, flows, and Mac cold air. Anyway, this weekend we decided to bump the timing for some additional HP. We first check to see if the timing is still at the 10 from the factory. The DAMN TIMING WAS AT 4!!! We'd been driving the cobra around, racing people, with the timing at 4 degrees. We bumped it to 14, and the car is a totally different beast

Can't believe we drove it around for 6months at 4 degrees timing. I think back to all the street races I had where I thought, that was kind of too close, maybe I just suck at driving....

So now the timing is back where it should be, and more, and the cobra is sweet again. I don't know why the previous owner had it at four?!?! Any possible reasons.

Also, btw, we then took the cobra out and my bro drove it against my GT. Timing didnt help THAT much...

Take it easy everyone.
