View Full Version : My 03 Cobra Came Back to Life Today....
After months of actually building this car the correct way, im proud to say it started right up with no issues.
Specs:
9.75:1 Forged shortblock w/ Ported Heads and GT Cams
Stainless Works Longtubes with customized (by me) X-Pipe
FORE Triple hat with Fragola Cloth Braided line.
Whipple 2.3 At ~21ish PSI
FORE Rails
80# Injectors
E-85
A TON of thoughtwent into making everything look like its not there. This is why it took me months instead of days.
Off for a tune sometime in June, for now I need to clean up!
Enjoy the Pics:

Incidentally Zack, I went back and looked and saw that you are running E85.
We tuned a compound boost car running E85 and the car made nutty power.
Be sure to post up your results.

Why is that? I am just curious.
Why is that? I am just curious.
I cant stand sitting around for 8 hours and baking in the sun.
You know what I can get accomplished in 8 hours? ....Let alone a few DAYS at Carlisle? ;)
This event may be an exception, but local shows are flat out boring cause you see the same ***** everytime, everywhere.

Just remember, you don't have to show to go.
You can do what I do, drum up business and look for parts and deals.

Martyo was right......
If you want to go fast, dont waste your money on a Marauder....go straight to a Cobra.
Hot DAMN this car is stupid fast.

This is why I daily drive my Marauder and cause myself retinal damage with the Cobra.
